- Abstract:
An encyclopedia entry for Alexis de Veaux is presented. De Veaux is a poet, playwright, fiction writer, essayist, editor, and educator, who is best known as an author of many books of juvenile fiction, placing her in the company of such other African American writers in this genre as Virginia Hamilton, Rosa Guy, Jess Mowry, and Walter Dean Myers. She was an editor at "Essence" magazine from 1978 to 1990, and was also instrumental in gaining exposure for many younger or newer writers emerging in that period.
