A winner of the 78th Annual Writer's Digest Writing Competition for Memoir   Hi. I'm Deb Lehman and my career spans over twenty-five years as a Carolyn Keene-wannabe, professional letter-writer,copywriter, journalist, and aspiring novelist.     I've become an English tutor and love working with students of all ages and backgrounds. My work can be very satisfying and it's always creative and challenging. Coaching kids for tests, teaching essential skills, motivating them to read, seeing progress and results. That's what it's all about. I have two very cool kids of my own who keep me young. I've always been active in their education, providing encouragement, guidance and constructive criticism. They are both talented and smart and I'm busting with pride over their accomplishments.   For fun, I do Zumba, see movies, read, cook, bake. Favorite recording artists include Adele, Pink, Amy Winehouse, Katie Perry. I also like rock-and-roll and Motown.    I'm writing an edgy YA novel featuring three flawed high school students embroiled in a cyber bullying hoax that leads to suicide. Looking for an agent. Haven't found one yet. I'm not famous or sensational, but I'm passionate, have a good ear for dialogue and love language. Favorite YA: Hunger Games, Living Dead Girl, Speak, Keeping the Moon, Dreamland, Forever, We All Fall Down, Sweethearts, What I Saw and How I Lied, Elsewhere.   Favorite Adult: Pride & Prejudice, Middlemarch, Ordinary People, A Widow for One Year,Too Many Men, My Sister's Keeper, Prep, An American Wife,The Help, Olive Kitteridge.
