About Wade
Wade Bradford grew up in rainy Washington state. In 1991, at the age of 19, he moved down to California. Ever since then he has been complaining about how he “misses the seasons.” He has a beautiful wife and two adorable children. He also has a dog, a fish, a cat and a bird.
Okay, now I’ll stop talking about myself in the third person…
I have loved writing since I was a little kid. My specialties are: plays, young adult novels, middle-grade fiction, and picture books.
Exciting News!
My first picture book, “Why Do I Have To Make My Bed?” was recently sold to Tricycle Press! It will be in bookstores in late 2010 or early 2011.
In 2000, my first play was published by Eldridge Plays. Since that time, the following plays have been published by Eldridge, Heuer, and Big Dog Plays. You can find a complete list of the plays here.
During the last few years, I have fallen in love with blogging. Here’s some of the many things I write about:
Blog #1 : Wade’s Personal Blog
This is where I discuss my life (which is happily mundane), my writing (which is legendary in my own mind), and my teaching (which is incredibly fun for me – though I can’t speak for my students!).
