- A propos de moi
- Although she started making books at the age of nine, Joan Marie Galat wasn’t published until 12 years old, when she became a paid weekly newspaper columnist. Today she is the award-winning author of more than a dozen books.
She shares her love of the stars in the Dot to Dot in the Sky series which combines the science of the night sky with the ancient myths that give constellations and planets their names. Her first title, Dot to Dot in the Sky, Stories in the Stars, became a best seller within six weeks of its release.
Joan’s books for children explore astronomy, ancient myths and legends, light pollution, history, and nature, and include both fiction and non-fiction. Her titles for adults include a travel guide and motivational title. A prolific writer for all ages and relentless promoter of reading, Joan loves to use storytelling to connect with audiences.
Highlights in her career have involved speaking at a United Nations Environment Programme event in Seoul, South Korea in 2016; presenting Korean translations of her books at an international book fair in Seoul in 2005; and touring at schools and libraries in Canada.
Joan operates MoonDot Media, a communications business offering writing and editing solutions in broadcast, print, and multi-media. Her freelance jobs have encompassed writing radio and video scripts, an Internet cartoon, magazine articles, exhibit text, speechwriting, and much more.
