L ibby Shaw is the pseudonym for a fifteen-year-old writer in training. Though being a professional published writer sounds lovely and is of course what she aspires to be, she has the attention span of a fruit fly and is constantly being districted by the smallest things. Libby lives in Hartford , Connecticut Coco (a.k.a Shredder) and Cinnamon (who she hopes will learn to stop peeing on the floor very, very, very soon). Having attended Catholic school since the age of three (thank God that’s over with), Libby now attends The Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts where she majors in Creative Writing. When not writing, you can find her reading amazing books, sleeping, using random objects to keep up her unmanageably curly hair, dancing to the infinite playlist which run through her head, teching for her school's plays and musicals, or watching reality TV – the good, the bad, and the hilariously stupid. Contact her at any time – she would love to hear from you and doesn’t have much of a life outside school, writing, tech crew, and Facebook.
