Rebecca Pitts

Rebecca Pitts writes for and makes things with young people. She is a freelance writer (published in the New York Times for Kids, Teen Vogue, Highlights Magazine, and elsewhere) and author of the YA book JANE JACOBS: CHAMPION OF CITIES, CHAMPION OF PEOPLE (Seven Stories Press, 2023.) She runs workshops in the Lower Hudson Valley Rivertowns for young writers and artists, guiding children in visual storytelling in comics, zines, and newspaper-making. A former archivist, Rebecca’s happy place is in the stacks, poring over records and correspondence. She believes that all children deserve access to true, full accounts of history.
