Writing Partners
In addition to local writers intensive workshops and SCBWI conferences, I also participate in a critique group, consisting of three fantastic up and coming writers of children's fiction:
S.L. Clifton
Emily Will
Susan Lynn-Rivera
I work closely with an additional elite critique group online in order to get a full perspective on my work:
Shannon Caster
author extraordinaire, is hard at work on several novels while still managing to find time to be published in magazines like Highlights for Children, Ask!, Imagination Café, and Brio Magazine. www.shannoncaster.com/
Lindsay Eland
winner of the 2007 SmartWriters' “Write It Now” middle grade competition and recently signed client of Rebecca Sherman at Writers House Literary Agency, will probably be the next Elite Critiquer with a signed contract in hand. Lindsay's first book of her two-book deal with Egmont USA, SCONES AND SENSIBILITIES is due out in late 2009.
