Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators
Bio:
Tioka Tokedira
As the RA in France, Tioka's met some wonderful writers
and illustrators, publishers and young readers. They are a constant reminder
of how lucky she is to be
a part of the world of children's books. When she's not emailing the
rest of the SCooBwI Board
in the middle of the night with a flurry of ideas about our next great event, she's a YA acquisitions reader for
La Martinière publishers and trying her hand at ghost writing series fiction for Working Partners.
Before moving here, Tioka worked in New York and Washington on news and documentaries for PBS and the Discovery Channel. For the past seven years she's lived in Paris, although she recently traded her rooftop apartment for a boat so her exact address changes with the tides. She has a BS in education from BU and a MA
in anthropology from Columbia.
Tioka is currently looking for an agent for her tween eco-mystery set on the coast of France.
