"Jodi Baker is a multidimensional, multi-gifted individual who, luckily for us, writes amazing novels.  I can’t begin to accurately describe to the 2Elizabeths Writing Community the depths of her knowledge and the generosity in which she is willing to share.  She is a delightful conversationalist whose laughter is contagious.  In short, meeting her was a truly great learning experience brimming with inspiration..."

"When I was invited to schools to do Author Talks, I quickly realized it was an opportunity to do a lot more than just chat about my books. Not only were the diverse classes excited to see themselves in a story, the girls I met were excitedly connecting to Anna, my main character, as a role model! I asked them, ‘What makes a book heroine great?’ 

To me, Kickass Heroines are girls who learn to embrace who they are and in doing so, prove that ‘fighting like a girl’ is an oh-so-ferocious, connected, mind-heart-body evolutionary experience that forever changes them and those they come into contact with. Their stories invite all of us to embrace our own power, our quirks, and our perfectly imperfect selves, warts and all.

That's how I became a young adult fantasy writer who gives Teen Empowerment Talks and Writing Workshops, where I encourage girls to use their favorite literary characters as inspiration to become the Kickass Heroine of their own lives!"

"Listen to yourself. This is a huge theme in my work, both on the page and in my workshops with teens. I dedicated my second book, ‘To every girl who has dared to listen to the voice inside of her’; because I’m passionate about encouraging people to follow the soul-filling, world-changing journey their inner-voice invites them to take..." - Jodi Baker Interview in THRIVE GLOBAL.
