She had been collecting both children\u2019s books and picture books for a while.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPoetry was just a constant passion, but I always loved children&#8217;s books. It was my guilty pleasure. I would have smart conversations about contemporary poetry in class, and then I would go back to my room and reread <em>Half Magic<\/em>,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from UTC with a degree in humanities, Snyder decided to turn her secret passion into her job. She\u2019s now a published author of more than a dozen books, many written for children.<\/p>\n<p>From a novel about a group of orphans living on a mysterious island to a story about a girl who finds a magical time-traveling breadbox to a whimsical picture book inspired by her sons, Snyder\u2019s work has received accolades from the Chicago Public Library, <em>Southern Living<\/em>, the Junior Library Guild, The Washington Post and many more. One of her latest books, <em>Orphan Island<\/em>, was nominated for a National Book Award.<\/p>\n<p>Though writing came relatively easy for Snyder, getting published was another story. It took eight years for her first book to reach the shelves after receiving rejections from 49 publishers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not for the faint of heart,\u201d Snyder says. \u201cEven now, there\u2019s always rejections. I feel really grateful to Dr. Jackson. It was in his classes at UTC that I really toughened up and learned that the process of critique and rejection was really the process of getting better. Even now, I wouldn&#8217;t want to try to write something without the help of that kind of critique.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>To read the rest of this story, visit the UTC magazine website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/magazine\/issues\/01-02\/index.html#book\/27\">here<\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laurel Snyder thought she had her future mapped out before she started at UTC.
