That’s me – Always in the Middle – as a teacher, mentor, and writer.
The publishing industry defines Middle Grade as ages 8-12. Some say I never have left that age myself, but I do have birth certificate proof.
These days I teach kids and teachers, consult, and am always on the lookout for a great middle great read.
I’m a native to Colorado and still live here with my eleven-year-old Springer Spaniel mix who is always looking for her next treat.
Questions or comments can be sent to me at this email address. Thanks for stopping by.
Always in the Middle... 
I feel the same way about YA. I left that age a long time ago, but I think it’s the age I was most myself at and it’s the age I seem to write best for.

I love your site, Greg. It’s a finger on the pulse of Middle Grade for me. Thanks for the ‘follow’ too 🙂

As a former elementary teacher (mostly in the middle grades), I love middle-grade books. It sounds like we have many things in common such as a love for literacy, education, and children. I want to reach out and hear your thoughts about a few things, but I don’t see a contact form (maybe I’m just not seeing it) on your site. Do you give out your email address? Happy reading and writing in 2021, Greg.
