Kimberly Wilson
|
Kimberly Wilson’s writing journey began as a third grader in Upstate New York with a butterfly Trapper Keeper, an overflowing bookshelf, and a pocket Thesaurus.
After earning her BA from SUNY Geneseo, where she studied communication and creative writing, an internship brought her to North Carolina. There, she established a career in marketing before diving headfirst into her dream of writing for children. As a full-time writer, Kimberly is an active member of the SCBWI and several critique groups. She is a pun-lover and enjoys mixing humor, heart, and educational details into her writing. Kimberly is the author of A Penny’s Worth (2022), a finalist for the Bill Martin Jr. Picture Book Award, A Dollar’s Grand Dream (2023), A Credit Card Takes Charge (2024), and Piggy Bank Saves the Day (September 2, 2025), illustrated by Mark Hoffmann, published by Page Street Kids. When not writing, Kimberly shares her love for books by visiting schools and volunteering with local literacy nonprofits. She also enjoys yoga, tennis, and going on adventures with her two daughters. Even though her Trapper Keeper is long gone, her book collection continues to grow, and her Thesaurus, well . . . now there’s an app for that! Kimberly is represented by Victoria Selvaggio.
