Krishna Dalal

I have participated in numerous spelling bees in my youth. These experiences not only led to a love of words and a pair of nerdy glasses, they inspired my first children’s book. The road from investment banking to teaching (and a few careers in between) always had a fork in writing.

Professionally, I started One Word Publishing (http://www.onewordpublishing.com) in 2011 and published my first book, Sardoodledom: A Spelling Bee Tale. I hope to follow up with not only more children's books, but a novel or two also.

Personally, I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband and two children. Hobbies (other than reading and writing) include anything active and outdoors (basketball, snowboarding, running, camping, etc.).
