Kimberly Gore – Multi-Genre Author
Kimberly Gore is a multi-genre author whose imagination thrives on
curiosity, compassion, a dash of mischief. Her young adult novel
Seven Little Secrets won first place in the 2018 Next Generation
Indie Book Awards, while Knucklebone captured top honors in two
national competitions judged by author Cynthea Liu, literary agent
Jennifer Jaeger, and the Write On Con/Reading Room Aspiring
Writer’s Competition. She also penned Save Me a Song and the
middle-grade adventures The Miss-Adventures of Amy and Tracy
and The Wish Problem series and she’s written several “how-to”
guides.
Beyond the page, Gore co-wrote a screenplay optioned by Minor
Distractions Entertainment, created and produced IMPRINT Journal,
a local literary magazine, and has spent two decades coordinating
Rochester’s largest writer’s group, hosted by Barnes & Noble in
Greece, NY. A seasoned instructor and conference speaker, she’s
taught creative writing for community education programs and
presented on the craft of storytelling at Astronomicon, Lilac City
Rochester Writers, and RIT’s StoryCon.
Sue Sevard Brockport, NY Memoirist
The idea of filling each day as a writer had never before crossed my mind
until the death of my husband, Jim, in 2010. For a reason I have never
understood myself, I decided to write the story of our meeting, marriage,
life, and love as a gift to our children.
This project took me three years to complete and 4 writing classes at RIT
and 3 at Brockport State, plus multiple memberships in writing groups.
When I finally completed the book and published Autumn Leaves, I felt I
had given my best and left a legacy for my four children. I never expected
the book to be enjoyed by friends, relatives, and readers across the United
States.
By the time that book was completed, I was hooked on the writer’s bug.
What can I write now? As the director of the Brockport Museum & Library
of Local History, I found a new mission – writing stories about Brockport’s
heroes. That idea started me on a new and interesting hobby which I
shared with fascinating people from Brockport’s past.
