Don't Miss Stories from Bibliocrunch!
Leo Hartas, an illustrator, makes a plea for writers to understand how to commission an illustrator. If you are in the market for having illustrations for your project… read this first. I know illustrators who say these words often.
Catherine Ryan Howard who is a Go To Guru on how to self-publish has an agent and a traditional publishing deal. This is an interesting journey… and one a lot of writers are taking as Hybrid is seen as a good career move.
Today while traveling on an errand a character, whom I had put on hold for a few years, popped into my mind demanding that now was the time to tell his story… never mind I’m in the middle of something big…somewhere else. Some characters are so rude! This got me thinking about Story Structure and this led me to one of Larry Brooks latest posts on structure versus pantsing. There is no opposition. There is subliminal understanding that every story should have a beginning and an end. This is a one of those A-HA posts that you will print out!
In The Craft Section,
In The Marketing Section,
To Finish,
YA Highway is an interesting site where YA authors hang out. They have an interesting infographic (very Jasper Ffordish) with lots of clickable links on all sorts of interesting posts. This is well worth a trawl. Children’s writers cover all genres the good and the bad…
