Fact of Life #31: Now In a Small, Economy Size
I'm a terrible blogger!
Yes, I admit it right up front. I can't keep up with the online journal on my website or my Facebook page or Twitter or MySpace or...GoodReads! I try to be a good girl and list the books I'm reading but sometimes I forget.
But I always like to hear what other authors are up to or little tidbits about their books so I thought I'd try to share here whenever I think of it.
Okay, so I got copies of the new paperback for FACT OF LIFE #31 and their pocket-sized! Why is this such a big deal? Well, because most middle grade and teen books come out in trade paperback size - which is the size that's just a little smaller than a hardcover book. So that's what I expected and when I saw them they were so small and compact and would fit very nicely in those airport racks--if only they'd carry it...(sigh). But I think more books for teens and such will go to the smaller format so check it out.
Next up I'll talk about the scariness (is that a word?) of writing a sequel.

I thought you might be interested in hearing about a contest the Andrea Brown Literary Agency is running for middle grade and YA novels. You can let the chapter know about it. The deadline is January 31st so not much time to enter. Writers can send in the first 500 pages of their completed novel. There's no entry fee. Winners will receive a critique. Here's the link:Kidlit Contest
There are a few stipulations so follow the instructions.
