Even as I strive to keep up with work during my sons’ two-week Fall Break, I’m looking ahead. An exciting thing on my horizon is the Writer’s Digest Novel Writing Conference October 28-30 in LA. There, writers in all categories of novels can expand their skills regarding Craft, Storytelling, Character, Genre Studies, Getting an Agent, Getting Published and Revision. I think it’ll be great fun! I’ll get to focus on novels for teens, tweens, and new adults in my sessions: “Crafting a Youthful Narrative Voice and Authentic Dialogue for Young Adult Fiction”, “Writing Riveting New Adult Fiction,” and “Panel: Connecting With Middle-Grade and Young Adult Readers.”
