I absolutely love this post from authors who debuted their first young adult and middle grade novels in 2013. Full of great advice for those wishing to embark on a writing career themselves—and for those of us who sometimes forget to take our own advice!


Click here to see the rest, and learn more about the authors themselves!


(From top: Megan Shepherd, Shannon Messenger, Renee Collins, Brandy Colbert, Erin Bowman, Elsie Chapman, Alexandra Duncan, Mindy McGinnis, Natalie Whipple, and Kasie West.)



As us 2014 debuts head into our debut year, these pieces of advice are so, so important to remember. Particularly the second one.

nataliewhipple:



So excited to share with you the cover for my novel, RELAX, I’M A NINJA! This bad boy will be out June 3, 2014. Summary below if you want a taste of what’s inside:


A Clan of ninjas in San Francisco may sound improbable—but as the son of a ninja master, Tosh Ito knows what lurks in the shadows of his city. Or at least he thought he did.



When a killer with a poisoned blade starts cutting down teens, Tosh enlists Amy Sato—newest ninja recruit and his best friend’s crush—and sets out to uncover the killer’s identity. What they find is ninjutsu more evil than they could have ever imagined.



As Amy and Tosh grow closer, they discover their connection unleashes a legendary power that could stop the murders. Problem is, that power may be exactly what the killer is looking for, and wielding it could cost them both their souls.



Did you see?? The cover for one of Natalie Whipple’s next books (seriously, this girl has THREE BOOKS coming out next year. I only have one, and I’m a mess) is AVAILABLE FOR ALL TO GAZE UPON!


This book will always a have a special place in my heart. While Natalie was in the throes of writing/subbing this bad boy, I was in the throes of writing/subbing my now-shelved pirate book.


Pirates, Ninjas. There was only way it could end.



Ninjas, man. NINJAS.


Seeing RELAX, I’M A NINJA coming out and having a cover and being all fancy now…



They grow up so fast, don’t they?
