Teacher
Anastasia Suen’s fascination with books led to a career in education. She taught kindergarten ESL, first, fifth, and sixth grades in Los Angeles before her children were born.
After her first books were published she began teaching adults: teacher inservice for Staff Development for Educators, children’s literature in the library school at the University of North Texas, and writing at Southern Methodist University.
Throughout the year, Anastasia Suen mentors adults who want to write a children’s book with one-to-one 30-minute developmental critiques on Zoom.
