Elizabeth Patch commented on the group 'TEACHER WRITERS'
"Oh so wonderful to find a group of creative teachers trying to cram a year's worth of work into 7 short weeks, and balance the personal/professional/family during the rest of the year! I'm not on SheWrites much during the academic year due…"

TEACHER WRITERS
A group for those of us who are writing lesson plans along with books, drowning in a sea of [ungraded papers], and teaching writing to students.

"I am finally done teaching for the year! 7 weeks to do apps for iPhone & format for ebook, & 52week illustrated calendar! yikes!"
Elizabeth Patch commented on Deborah Siegel's page Comics
"I love that you've taken the graphic novel format (villians, super-heroes, darkness, fighting girls with impossible bodies) and used it, and your sardonic sense of humor, to deal with a very female, very personal subject. Even though medical,…"

"Hi Brooke and fellow PP entrants!
I was disappointed, but it was not unexpected. I knew I had a proposal that was focused and ready-to-go somewhere more appropriate for my niche (I am an author/illustrator)

Profile Information
- Who I am:
- I am a high school art teacher who struggled with eating disorders and watched in vain as a favorite student died from anorexia.
The sketches and journals I kept evolved into an illustrated book, “More to Love”, a not-to-serious look at body image and self-esteem.
I promote health and happiness for all sizes, and believe that women should be measured by the lives we lead,not by the size we wear!

As a working woman artist, I'm sure my life is not very different than many of my fellow She-Writers, balancing the day job with the second-shift home responsibilities, and yet somehow managing to find the energy to create. I work all day, take care of my family, and then in the few semi-conscious hours I have left over, am writing and illustrating my next book.

I write and create art about positive body image and self-esteem for the plus-size majority. The TriDelta Sorority has put together a program for college-age women, who suffer from the highest percentage of eating disorders and low self-esteem of all women. I've posted their wonderful short video (all animated text) as well as my essay, illustration and excerpt from my book "More to Love" as this week's blog post.
