Middle Grade Gold
You know, I find that if I just wait around long enough to blog about something, somebody else much smarter, well-connected, and well-respected, will do it for me.
Ah, Procrastination. My good, good friend.
Anyway, I’ve been wondering for quite some time how middle grade authors get the word out for their books! I mean, there are a dozen amazing YA book blogs I could list in ten seconds. But middle grade ones aren’t so thick on the ground. (Although there are some very, very lovely ones. Just not as many!)
In any case, R L Lafevers blogged over at Shrinking Violet Promotions about how to get the word out (and get sales) for Middle Grade Authors. Totally check this out. Writer Friends of the MG Variety. It’s GOLD!
You’re very welcome.
Nikki News: This week, I’m starting a New Book! And it makes my heart so very, very glad to think THIS book
(one that I bought at the Backspace Conference three years ago) is one of my major research texts.
Yes, I do believe Poison + Plants + Middle Grade = WIN!

Thanks, H! How’s the meditation going? My “Om”s keep turning into Omnomnoms. Darn this Halloween candy!

WICKED PLANTS is one of my favorite books! I like to live dangerously . . . in gardens.
Deadly nightshade would be one heck of a plot device. 🙂

DON’T TELL! Row upon row of carefully cultivated deadly nightshade… I can’t wait to get to that chapter.

So glad to hear that you’re starting a new book, Nikki. And your research book seems very interesting.

Thanks, Nan! I love this research book. Probably freak out my dinner guests with it out on the coffee table… 😉
