Career
Working full-time in marketing for a children's book publisher, Woodfolk wrote her first published book, The Beauty That Remains, on the weekends and in the evenings.[3] The book centers on three teenagers who "find courage and comfort in the aftermath of a tragic loss."[3] It was released on March 6, 2018 and published by Penguin Random House.[4][5] She used her own issues with anxiety and experiencing using music as a therapeutic tool to inform the events of the book.[3] The book received positive critical reception. In a starred review, School Library Journal wrote, "In her debut, Woodfolk has written a lovely and introspective coming-of-age novel that fully captures the way friendship, music, family, and romance dovetail to create a young person’s identity."[6]
Woodfolk's second YA book, When You Were Everything, was released on March 10, 2020 by Delacorte.[7] It focuses on the dissolution of a friendship.[8] When You Were Everything received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.
