Carmen Julia Spoonemore wrote her first book, For The Collective, in the Spring of 2020 when she was thirteen years old. The book was primarily written at the base of a chairlift at the Snoqualmie West ski area where her family had moved when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Carmen, now eighteen years old, released her second book, Double, in January of 2023.

Her third book, Our Child, is expected to be published in 2025.

Carmen is a twelfth-grade student at the Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences in Seattle, Washington. She enjoys speech/debate, cross-country running, skiing, and hiking.

Carmen is available to speak to middle and high school classes about dyslexia, her books, and the process of becoming a published author. She can be contacted at CarmenSpoonemore@gmail.com
