For over twenty years, Judy Bradbury has taught reading and writing to students from preschool through college.   A lifelong advocate of promoting reading, Judy pioneered a New York State-funded summer community reading program and has developed remedial and enrichment reading and writing programs for high school students.

Judy is an active member in the International Reading Association (IRA), Society of Children's Bookwriters and Illustrators (SCBWI), New York State Reading Association (NYSRA), Association of Professional Women Writers (APWW), and sits on the board of the Niagara Frontier Reading Council(NFRC).  She is a regular contributor to Children's Writer and the annual CHILDREN'S WRITER GUIDE and teaches adult writers through the Institute of Children's Literature.

Judy presents at local, state, and national conferences and offers a variety of workshops for students and adults.   She is an adjunct professor teaching Children's Literature at the graduate level at Medaille College. Judy is comfortable working with children of all ages and considers visiting schools "going home".   Whether she is discussing the steps involved in creating a book, reading one of her books to a group of younger children, or teaching the writing process to older students, audiences find her discussions on writing, reading, and publishing to be both entertaining and enlightening.

Judy lives in sunny western New York with her husband, her daughter, one big dog, and one grumpy gray cat with a penchant for sleeping in front of the computer screen.
