To sound more impressive, she lists herself as the Editor: Judith A. Galardi, B.A., M.Ed., MLIS. (The three degrees are real.)
She lives in Pittsburgh, PA with her family, creations and friends. Painting and drawing, exercising, working with horses and children, storytelling, problem-solving, bowling and wasting time are some of her hobbies. (Just not necessarily in that order.) Judith has worked as a babysitter (although she swears she never sat on a baby), grocery stock girl, college radio DJ, singer in a rock band, x-ray file clerk, teacher, computer consultant, Christmas elf, table server, librarian, dressage riding school working student, newspaper and technical writer, actor (including performing as various cartoon characters in a traveling childrens theater troupe and in a Shakespearean play), information specialist, softball coach, helpline counselor, archaeological dig site aide, political activist, and book, art, and performance reviewer.
Judi enjoys reading her poetry and discussing her books at conferences, bookstores, and anywhere she can get children and adults to talk about reading. Her belief is that reading is integral to a fulfilled life, regardless of ones schooling or career; it just doesnt always have to be serious reading. She also encourages children to write, or tell stories to adults who can write their stories down for them we all have stories, we all can and should imagine. Our individuality is the stuff upon which dreams are made, (paraphrasing William Shakespeare). Those dreams become the ideas, inventions, hope, and/or silly jokes of the future.
