2013 Book Academy: Writers Under Construction

I'm speaking at the Utah Valley University this coming Tuesday September 24, 2013. Here is a summary of what I'll be covering:

Knowing Your Market — Virginia Grenier
My goal is to help new writers understand the differences between the genres in children's and YA markets, from short stories to full novels. I will also cover how to know which market is right for your work and how to best prepare manuscripts for submission.
This is a wonderful opportunity and I'm truly looking forward to it. I do have to say it is fun being in front of people after all the blog talk radio shows I do. I enjoy speaking because I not only help someone starting out on the writing journey, but I also learn something new each time from each of the writers who attend.

A bit more about this event:

Halloween Recap

I love Halloween. It really is my favorite holiday in the year. I'm not sure if it has something to do with it being my mom's birthday or not. I know it is fun telling people I'm the daughter of a witch. I mean after all all witches are born on Halloween...aren't they. Of course, my mom isn't a mean witch. She is one of the nicest people I know. Sometimes I think her parents got the wrong holiday to have her on. What do I mean? Well when someone asks about my mom, I say, "She is a lot like Mrs. Clause.

She always dressed up each year with me and really got into the whole sp...
