Kitty Baker
- Redwood Writers selected CWC-Marin member C.M. (Kitty) Baker as second place winner in their annual Young Adult/Middle Grade writers contest for her novel-in-progress, “Scenes in Syncopated Time.” (You can read the first two chapters here.)
Originally from Minnesota before relocating to California’s North Bay Area in 2016, Kitty is fascinated by the potential of coming-of-age fiction to speak to the hearts of YA readers. She has spent years learning and practicing the craft via classes at The Loft in Minneapolis, lectures in Hamline University’s MFA program in Writing for Children & Young Adult, private workshops, writers groups, retreats, and SCBWI conferences and events. She was recently chosen for the prestigious Djerassi Artist Residency in Woodside, California, and is currently enrolled in College of Marin classes, exploring the power and playfulness of poetry.
Redwood Writers in Sonoma County is a sister chapter to Marin Writers and is the largest of the 22 chapters of the California Writers Clubs with hundreds of active members and an emphasis on supporting writers interested in self-publishing. Because of its size, the Redwood Chapter offers many writing contests and publishes thematic prose and poetry anthologies annually. Members of the Marin Chapter are eligible to apply for dual membership in Redwood Writers for just $25.
