Goodies for you.
In the form of advice.


Advice for children's book writers from Ann Coburn and New Writing North. Anyone who likes Margaret Mahy MUST know what they're talking about. Actually, it's a really great read. Read it through a couple of times. It has an English bias but heaps of good advice.



And some good news for me. My first ever YA story accepted by Shiny Mag. I've been writing YA SF for a while. Haven't sent much out but when I have, it's gained interest.


Also good news is an amazing review at Last Short Story.

Yes, you read it before it had the Sarah Endacott treatment. Which bit of it was your contribution? The tealy goodness?

Thanks for the congrats.

I think my sole contribution was bubbly enthusiasm and frank admiration for your deftly integrated lobster.
