We had a wonderful turn-out at our inaugural KidLit Drink Night last night – thanks so much to all the readers, writers, teachers and just plain delightful Tallahasseans who joined us for drinks, tasty treats and lots of book-alicious conversation. We’ll be doing it again in March, so stay tuned for all the details on [...]

KidLit Drink Night is coming to Tallahassee!

Posted in angele's posts, KidLit Drink Night Tallahassee, tagged , , , , , , on January 21, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Okay, admit it – you’re totally jealous of all those super cool New Yorkers who get together for monthly YA-licious book chat + tasty adult beverages.

We’ve all been writingwritingwriting for weeks now, preparing our manuscripts for an extended weekend of critique out of town. A weekend that’s now almost over (sob!), but talk about an awesome way to dig down into five very different stories by five very different writers! How did we all end up here?

Can you help?

As we near the Gulf Coast dread the seemingly unavoidable environmental destruction looming from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, many in the Nashville area have just experienced a catastrophe of their own. The historic floods that devastated not just downtown Nashville but so many other communities throughout the region left behind families and businesses now [...]

We’re so pleased to pronounce Jan Godown Annino as the very first winner of our Red Eye Writes! contest. Jan wrote an amazingly cliche-ridden entry that we bet you can’t wait to read, so without further ado… ~You coulda knocked me over with a feather when I turned on a dime and saw the whites [...]

A CURSE DARK AS GOLD by Elizabeth C. Bunce

Posted in angele's posts, books we love, editors we love, on writing, publishers we love, revisions, writers we love, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Years ago, I read with great interest author Elizabeth Bunce‘s posts on the SCBWI discussion boards about selling A Curse Dark as Gold to Arthur A.

I’ve spent hours at my favorite coffee shop this week, working hard to finish my post-critique revisions. As much as I try to block out the distractions, words still flicker in through my earplugs or over the ambient music. And I love it. Really, as a writer, there’s not much better than those unexpected gems [...]

I highly suggest Ward Six, online home of two of my favorite writer friends, Rhian Ellis and [...]
