Hello! I am the author of several children's picture books, early readers and novels, as well as a collection of adult short fiction.

All my titles are listed on the left. Check Forthcoming Books for soon to be published books and sneak previews.

The Biography page includes my Professional Biography as well as additional information in More About Me.

For information on school, library and conference presentations, please see the Author Visits page.

Teacher’s Guides are available for all my in-print books, with ideas and activities to help teachers use my books in their classrooms.

In the FAQs page I've tried to anticipate questions, but if I haven't answered yours, please Contact Me. I'd love to hear from you!

I've started a blog. It's called:
Rachna Gilmore's Writerly Plarks!

Feel free to visit it to see my latest thoughts on playing, working and larking!
