Best of the Middle Grade Blogs: June 3

It has been three weeks and still no word on my queries from the fantastic agents. I have no idea how to read this other than I passed the intern test...maybe. At this point I feel like it's time to send out a new batch of queries. And KT Literary just opened for submissions. I've been blog stalking them for over a year and waiting patiently. What agencies are on your hot list?

On more important news for me and not for you: I'm picking my laptop up from the shop tomorrow. I've missed my 5th baby.
