Cory Putman Oakes
I’m an award-winning children’s book author and educator based in Austin, Texas. I write novels for kids and teens. When I’m not writing, teaching, or hanging out with my family, I like to visit schools, libraries, conferences, and festivals to connect with other writers and readers of all ages.
