Cheryl Klein always has a lot of interesting things to say, especially regarding the editing process. She’s got some great information on her website for writers and prospective editors, and even now, with over a year at a children’s publisher under my belt, I find her insights helpful and insightful. Today, she posted about her [...]

Anyone ever tried this? I’ve seen a lot of bloggers use it in their sidebars, and I think it’s a great way of showing a bit randomly the kinds of books I recommend. So I’ve spent a few hours this morning starting to add some books to it, but my LJ sidebar doesn’t appear to [...]

OO! I’m so glad I dropped by Scott Westerfeld’s blog today! I often forget to stop by blogs that aren’t on my friends page as feeds. (I wish I knew how to locate feeds better.) Turns out he’s going to be in Seattle signing next Saturday. Here’s the info: Now, that means I need to [...]

I figured I’d try out a paid account and see if it might expand a few things for me. Today’s the goodies day, too. I’m working on a post of recommended books, and I think I’m going to try starting a librarything, though I’m not sure it’ll let me post code in the sidebar, even [...]

Isn’t it beautiful? We’re very, very excited about Hallowmere. Stop by Tiffany Trent’s LJ () and tell her congratulations! This is the cover for the advance reader’s copy. Subject to change for the final book, of course. ETA: Oh! I forgot to add the cover copy, because of course you’ll want to know what the [...]

I’m going mad with the mystery. I want to know NOW! I think this is why I love books. While a TV show is only an hour long, if there’s a season-long mystery, they sure do love to drag it out. In the case of lost, it’s a 3-year-long mystery that shows no signs of [...]

Mirrorstone’s site just launched again with a new design. Check it out–www.mirrorstonebooks.com. Especially useful is that author bios and teacher/librarian resources are easier to find. Note the button in the middle that leads you to reviews, teacher guides and reluctant reader kits, and information on how to get an author to visit your school. And [...]

I received an email today commenting on my last post on reluctant readers. Author Darcy Pattison said: I just read your livejournal post about the panel on reluctant readers and fantasy. I love what Mirrorstone does with the reluctant readers and fantasy. Sounds like the BN Educator’s Day you went to was more lively than [...]
