SCBWI Western Washington November Professional Series Meeting

Whether this is your first attempt at NaNoWriMo or your third manuscript, we'll discuss the key elements that your work-in-progress needs to hook readers: compelling openings, fast-paced middles, and unforgettable endings that will engage your readers and keep them turning the pages.

Join Kristin Thorsness and me as we gush over spooky stories and celebrate her debut middle grade THE WICKED TREE at Island Books on Mercer Island on Sunday, Oct 13 at 1 pm

October is #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth and I wrote a thing for Teen Librarian Toolbox about growing up with dyslexia, being a perfectionist, and being a word nerd. Not the easiest combo of character traits.
