About Nannette
​Nannette is a Maine-based writer, former educator, and nature photographer who has spent most of her life in small rural towns. After growing up in Springfield and attending college in the 1970s, she lived in Bangor for 13 years, where she met and married her husband. They later returned to Springfield to raise their children, and she now resides in Lincoln, Maine.
​
With over 20 years of experience as a freelance writer, Nannette draws inspiration from her work as a gardener, educator, and emotional storyteller. Her recent focus includes creating emotionally resonant children’s books and educator resources that support emotional literacy through gentle storytelling and motif-driven design.
​
She also finds joy in nature photography, capturing quiet moments that reflect the same tenderness found in her stories.
