Thanks for all the warm welcome.

MG fantasy is middle grade fantasy, for kids 8-12. My book is actually aimed at what is becoming known as the tween market, or ages 10-13.

Thanks for all the warm welcome! The threads available are a little overwhelming. Since I write fantasy for kids, can anyone point to some threads that I might be interested in?

Thanks!

Welcome Katie.
Check out the 4RV publishing forums here, to begin with.
All the general writing forums might have topics of interest, as at a certain level writing is writing, and pace, tension, voice etc is a concern for all writers.
Besides you never know what you want to try.

A fellow writer friend told me the "bug" part was because I am really a spy... As to the 1957, a true lady NEVER tells her age!

And of course a gentleman never asks  :-)

Not very spy like though, going round telling people you are one. Might want to watch that  scool

I look in the mirror, and I don't see a grandma, and I certainly don't feel like one. But, well, there it is, eh?

We're very excited!

Katie

Posted By : Steven the Git - 4/5/2008 3:23 PM
Hooray for Grandma, and for Ma as well! Mustn't forget her. Well, everyone involved also. Bravo.
