No problem.  And good luck!  🙂

Thanks for the tip! I probably won’t contact them, but thanks for letting me know!
Nelson is really good at writing. However, I don’t like all of her books, and I don’t think any of them gripped me like The False Prince did. A Night Divided was pretty good though. I was reading another about a girl who was smuggling books, or she…[Read more]

That’s exciting your library is ordering your book!  Your other story ideas sound really cool too.  I love a good mystery.  And I like the title, ‘Charging For Friendship’.

I heard getting an agent is hard; did you have to do a lot of research beforehand to find the reputable companies?  Or did you start with a type of book market guide?

Hi!

I haven’t really been selling too many copies, but I think it’s going pretty well. My library ordered six copies so that’s exciting! I started the sequel, but (one death later) I didn’t know exactly where I was heading with it and got side-tracked with other projects. I’m in the middle of waiting to hear back from queries…[Read more]

Hey there!  I’m sooo sorry I missed your question!  Normally, I get an update from my email when someone replies; so either I forgot to turn on that feature, or the reply became lost somewhere where I can’t find it.  Either way, I haven’t visited S.E until more recently.  And in my S.E updates, it mentioned your reply *slams palm ont…[Read more]

I have a lot of favorite books! To name a few, I like The Lord of the Rings, The Losers Club (written by Andrew Clements), and the Mysterious Benedict Society series. What about you?

@hobbitchild

Hey nice to meet you!  No, I haven’t published a book yet.  Though I am very interested in self-publishing.

Yikes, I hope the problem will work itself out.  I’m in the middle of taking a look at your first chapter, and I love the hook.  It’s strong and compelling.

I love reading MG too!  I grew up with a lot of MG/Children’s book…[Read more]

Hi!

Thank you for taking a look at my book! I’m currently in the process of making it a paperback (by the way, it’s soo frustrating! I just spend 28 minutes talking to Kindle Direct Publishing trying to troubleshoot a problem).

Have you published a book?

I like to write middle grade fiction because I read it a lot! I also like…[Read more]

@hobbitchild

Hi, I’m Lily and I love writing MG too!  That is so wonderful that your favorite author got to read a part of your work.  I’m so sorry he passed away.

I know this reply came a bit late, but I’m definitely curious about your book (and checking it out right after this; thanks for the link).  I wish you all the best as you write for ch…[Read more]

You’re welcome 🙂

Lol…it can be annoying sometimes but also nice having straight hair (even if it likes to do things its own way 😉 )

@abigail-rebekah

Thanks for the link!

That’s cool that you homeschool too.  And I have used hairspray to keep my hair in curls too XD (unfortunately, my hair has a mind of it’s own 😉 )

@arindown @imwritehere1920

Just wanted to let you both know that YWWs is hosting their second Crazy Writing Week event. It’s free and allows you to experience what YWW is like (well, at least experience a lot of it 😉 ). I so enjoyed it last time. Here is the link to it just if you’re interested – https://crazywritingweek.com/.

If you do happen…[Read more]

@abigail-rebekah

My family homeschools; how about you?

And yes, if I do get onto YWW, I will look for you 😉

Cool, your sister did a great job! (My hair is too straight to do much with XD)

Thanks for all the awesome advice! And please thank your sister for me. I’ve heard of some of the books she’s suggested, but not all of them.

@abigail-rebekah

Sorry it took me so long to answer.😄 My name is actually Grace.

Well…it’s like making goals and kinda connecting with other writers. I’ve enjoyed it so far. I’m very much a free-spirit, write-when-insparation-strikes person, so it’s kinda helped me create good boundaries and get something done. I’m almost done with 10k words…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920

Good thanks! I’m glad it helped show the point *phew* xD

That’s all good. I totally understand 😊. Lol…thanks for the super early Happy Birthday 😉

Yes, you should! Are you homeschooled or do you go to school?
If you do end up joining YWWs, my name is Abby Baines on there (I kinda wished I’d kept it the same as on here)…[Read more]

@abigail-rebekah

Hey, how’s it going?  Thanks, I liked your points too.  The illustrations helped to show your point 🙂

As for my age… it’s anywhere between 13 and 30 XD  Jk.  I like to keep it a mystery 😉  Anyway, Happy (really really early) Birthday!  (Just in case I forget to tell ya 🙂 )
