What's up? It's been a while...for many busy boring reasons. I have a manuscript out with a few agents and now I play the waiting game. How to pass the time? (Besides more revision.) I started looking for some great new middle grade fiction to read and found this:
Dear Lucky Agent Contest for Contemporary MG over at GLA.
And I thought, right on. The contest ends on Tuesday, 3/18. So if you have a finished manuscript, submit. You have nothing to lose...and if you're worried about failure, you haven't been a writer long enough. It comes with the job description. So put on your big girl panties and submit. I double dog dare you.
Also, if you've read some great Middle Grade Fiction as of late, I would love a great recommendation in the comments.
cheers
Good luck with your agent search. I read The Lost Planet, A Snicker of Magic, and The Shadow Throne. All were really good.
ReplyDeleteLoved The Shadow Throne.
DeleteHi Brooke, I've already submitted "An Ode to Cleve." Thanks for the reminder. I might have otherwise forgotten to tweet it again. One of my favorites is Paperboy by Vince Vawter. You've probably already read it, but I thought it was great. I've missed you. Are you still in CO?
ReplyDeleteHey John, yes I'm still in CO, breathing in the high altitude. Are you querying right now?
DeleteI just read the first book in the Kingdom Keepers series by Ridley Pearson which was really good. Hope the contest was helpful!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I've been meaning to read that series. schon.
