Ivory Butler is delighted to be on the Writopia Lab team! Ivory first discovered her love of writing in elementary school when she was tasked with writing a short story that soon evolved into a 50-page novella, and she has adored writing ever since. Throughout her teenage years, Ivory took workshops at Writopia Lab and won golden keys for her poetry in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a B.A. in Creative Writing and Literature and an M.A. in Child and Adolescent Development. Currently, Ivory is represented by Brent Taylor of Triada Literary Agency and her young adult murder mystery novel is on submission to publishers. Her master’s thesis on sensory processing disorder and her undergraduate conference paper on mother-infant attachment can be found on Sarah Lawrence College’s Digital Commons. Ivory loves to help young writers feel more confident in themselves and in their writing. She hopes to help young writers at Writopia Lab find joy in the written word.
