Oh yeah, I'm a Hip Mama!

Written By Rebecca Grabill

What's the best thing about being a writer? The fame? The fortune? Ok, yes, those are wonderful (ahem). But one of the unsung pleasures is The Mail.

I'm not talking fan mail. Though we all love fan mail (Hint Hint!). Rather, I'm thinking of the surprising things that show up, like royalty checks or issues of Hip Mama with, would you believe it, one of your very own poems published in it! Double fun when you've forgotten All About the upcoming publication.

Oh, Yeah. I'm hip.

Rebecca has been writing since childhood, her first book about a kitten published between homemade cardboard covers in second grade. Although she studied religion and philosophy in university, she continued writing, earning an MFA from Hamline University and publishing multiple picture books (no longer with homemade covers) and a collection of poetry with a variety of New York and independent publishers. She has also published a wide array of fiction, essays, and poetry in magazines and journals and photographs for Getty Images. She balances writing with homeschooling the younger of her six children, launching her young adults, church activities, and overseeing a small flock of chickens in rural West Michigan.
