Ed Masessa

I have held many jobs ranging from forklift operator, to fast food manager, but none as rewarding as my 20-year career with Scholastic Book Fairs. I retired in October 2016 and now write from the comfort of my central Florida home. Many of my ideas stem from my science fiction infused childhood which I combine with the challenges faced by today's youth to create timely fantasy that is based in the real world. I am an active member of the SCBWI and I am available to participate in or moderate panels at conferences around the country. But there is nothing better than giving interactive school presentations - telling kids about my ideas and offering writing tips. I can be contacted through my website at www.edmasessa.com
