Welcome Shanna Heath to the E&I Team!

 

Please help SCBWI-MI welcome Shanna to the Equity and Inclusion team. We appreciate her passion and are excited that she is joining the team!

Nicknamed "Shanna Shock-a-Rama" as a teen, Shanna wasn't all that shocking. She was just a queer, neurodivergent, and creative kid growing up in rural Ohio (gasp!). Now, Shanna's goal is to foster creative abundance among authors with diverse perspectives. Shanna is thrilled to be joining the E and I team and looks forward to connecting SCBWI members with fresh, diverse, fun, and very weird books/authors/illustrators.

Shanna Heath writes horror for all ages, because it is an ancient genre that has always embraced weirdness. Her short stories have been published in BURROW PRESS REVIEW, CEMETERY MOON, and the upcoming anthologies OTHER TERRORS: AN INCLUSIVE ANTHOLOGY (Clarion/Mariner) and HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA (Henry Holt). Shanna lives with her wife and two kiddos in Kalamazoo, where they keep Halloween decorations out all year long. Shanna is a member of SCBWI and the Horror Writers Association (HWA). Connect with Shanna on Instagram @mother_marrow, Twitter @shannalheath, or through her website shannaheath.com.
