posted 7/29/10re: I Wrote It . . . Now What?
posted 7/26/10Dear Editor…
I have written several childrens stories and am seeking publication. Most are picture book style, two for YA. Some rhyme, giving an opportunity for interaction. My manuscripts are ready. I’m unsure of how to proceed. Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
Claudia

I use ellipses a lot in my current manuscript. But how do I know when to use three dots and when to use four? And someone told me I’m spacing them incorrectly. Huh?

Are agents accepting children’s poetry books by authors with a passion for phonemic awareness and whole-brain education?

posted 7/7/10Dear Editor…
Is there a maximum number of characters to introduce in the first chapter of a MG grade or YA novel? I don’t want to introduce too many, but I have 8 characters PLUS a generic Mom, Dad, and two sisters. Does it make a diff if some of these 8 are name intros only?
Sincerely,
Carol
