On Friday (the 15th) registration opens for the NextGen Writers conference! This is a free on-line conference for writers 19 and under 

I am SO excited. Shellie Neumeier puts it all together and she does such a wonderful job of hosting us all. The teaching line up looks awesome. (Many of the names will be familiar to you!) I don’t know what everyone else is teaching on, but I’ll be talking about the challenges of writing the middle of your book.

I’m also in charge of the contest, which is a backcover copy contest. Should be a lot of fun. The details for it aren’t up quite yet, but they will be soon!

And congratulations to those who made the top 20 in last round’s contest! (Listed in no particular order. Not even alpha because that would take brain power, which I’m really lacking at the moment.)
