Archer Biggs

Archer is a preschool teacher, artist, and author. He learned art at Waldorf school. He hand paints in watercolors, oil-based pen, and pencils. Archer studied creative writing at Cornell, and played rugby and rowed. He earned a teaching certification at Cambridge University in England, and he rowed and ran track. Archer teaches and coaches, most recently at Westside Waldorf School. He rows every day in Los Angeles.

Archer loves teaching and writing for children because they light up like candles with awe and wonder. They “ooh” and “ah” at pictures and stare at them, rapt. They remember characters like members of their own families. They will carry around a book as if it is a friend. Archer loves telling stories to children because they are the most engaged and reactive crowd. Even adults grow an ear to ear smile when they see or remember their favorite children’s book. Children treasure ideas and lessons learned from books, and they often shape the rest of their lives.

Archer is seeking representation and a publisher for the completed and illustrated manuscript of “Boris the Rhinoceros.”
