ReplyDeleteFabulous links! I've added them to our list in our MG Lair at YAlitchat! I'm a writer of YA, MG, and picture books. While there is a plethora of YA blogs, MG blogs seem scarce. Thanks so much. It's very nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteGlad I found this site. I'm working on a MG now and love any extra resources. Nice to meet you and thanks for all the great links! :)
