Crescent Dragonwagon, who likes to say, “I’m as prolific as a zucchini plant, ” is the author of 56 traditionally published books in five different genres.
Drop in her non-book publications — magazine articles, one produced play, three blogs, and contributions to themed anthologies — and holy guacamole, there’s another four genres.
Click here to visit Crescent’s:
- books for children and young readers
- books for cooks
- other books for adults (adult fiction and poetry)
- magazine articles (a few classics from the way-back, and the stories behind them). Note: these are articles by, not about, her. For articles about her, click here.
Crescent has mostly published with “Big Five” companies and their subsidiaries: HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Little Brown, Macmillan, Workman, though she has three books out with smaller presses.
She has never self-published… though she’s not ruling it out in the future.
This page serves as the index to her publications, by categories. We hope you’ll have fun exploring. Down the rabbit hole (or into the dragon’s lair) we go!
