46-Pirate Queens: Creating Researchbased Illustrations which Emphasize Cultural and Historical Authenticity
Pirate Queens is a lushly illustrated non-fiction book for middle-grade readers, which profiles six different women from six different cultures and time periods, who turned to piracy and ruled their day. It was extensively researched in collaboration with the National Geographic team, with the purpose of creating illustrations which are engaging, realistic, artistic and above all accurate. The illustrations in the book have been vetted by the world’s leading pirate experts and historians. My main area of academic interest lies in the space where feminism, identity, and young adult literature, intersect. My commitment is to tell stories that reflect the diverse, multi-layered people that are our global community; stories which are carefully researched, high quality, and with emphasis on cultural and historical authenticity. Pirate Queens aligns perfectly with this personal mission. View or download a PDF version of this poster.
