Hi everyone. My name is April Scarlett and I am a freelance writer from Saline. I write features, do some reporting, love to write fiction and non-fiction in the juvenile market, and also provide many different business writing services.

I am so excited to be blogging for AnnArbor.com, especially in the Parenting section. I have two sons and a terrific husband and they spark lots of ideas as to what I want to write about. I am also the former owner of Beanstalks Play Cafe in Saline, am involved with the schools, PTA and lots of community organizations, so I'm around kids and moms and dads A LOT.

I've attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, am certified in Writing For Children and Teens and Manuscript Marketing from the Institute of Children's Literature, and I am still seeking completion in my degree of Education/English.
