An avid reader, Colleen M. Chesebro rekindled her love of writing poetry after years spent working in the accounting industry. These days, she loves crafting syllabic poetry, flash fiction, and creative fiction and nonfiction.
In addition to poetry books, Chesebro’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring short stories, flash fiction, and poetry. She’s an avid supporter of her writing community on Word Craft Poetry.com by organizing and sponsoring a weekly syllabic poetry challenge, called #TankaTuesday, where participants experiment with traditional and current forms of Japanese and American syllabic poetry.
Chesebro is an assistant editor of The Congress of the Rough Writers Flash Fiction Anthology & Gitty Up Press, a micro-press founded by Charli Mills and Carrot Ranch.
In January 2022, Colleen founded Unicorn Cats Publishing Services to assist poets and authors in creating eBooks and print books for publication. In addition, she creates affordable book covers for Kindle and print books.
Chesebro lives in the house of her dreams in mid-Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes with her husband and two (unicorn) cats, Chloe & Sophie.

Is Stevie Ray one of your older or younger grandkids? He looks very happy with his cookie. So sweet!
Go to Ronovan’s site and read (follow the links) on how to write Haiku in English. It is all about syllables: 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, 5 in the last line…
haiku is very interesting prose. My sisters brother in law ( her childs fathers brother) is a professional writer , here in australia. and he is very good at that. Paul Mitchell is his name. google it to read some of his stuff. Anyway your grandchild looks very cheeky and adorable.
If I had something higher than A RONOVAN’S CHOICE! I would give it. But then you are part of my Lit World Interviews. Not sure that is an honor but it means something to me to trust you that much. So will put that and the ARC together.
