What’s up with this New York talk?

Stacy | March 9, 2010

Have you been wondering where I’ve been on this blog? Have you noticed me talking on Facebook or Twitter about a move and wondered what was up with that? Now, your questions can be answered! Some pretty awesome things have been happening that required me to relocate to New York City. For more on what’s [...]

Tidbits–Tu Publishing, book club, critiques update

Stacy | September 22, 2009

We’re up to almost $1000 on the Kickstarter project for Tu Publishing. Thanks so much to everyone for pledging, and please feel free to share the link with anyone who you think might be interested, even if they can only spare $5. We’re starting this through Kickstarter because it’s secure, run by a third party, [...]

Updated video–please respond to that for the video challenge

Stacy | September 16, 2009

On Tuesday, I challenged everyone (teens, especially) to respond to my video with videos of their own talking about their experiences with reading and multicultural literature. Since then, I’ve figured out how to not squish my lovely friend Christine, who answered several questions for me, and was able to add music as well. (I really [...]

Announcing Tu Publishing, and a video challenge

Stacy | September 15, 2009

I’m cross-posting this from the Tu Publishing website, the website of my small press. I promised you the announcement of a project, and I’ve finally finished it at 3:15 a.m. I’m going to go ahead and share it everyone despite the video needing a little fine-tuning still. (I seem to have a different resolution camera [...]

Day job, change in critiques

Stacy | September 11, 2009

Just to let you all know: I have found a day job. Yay for paying the bills! Freelancing is great for many things, especially the flexible schedule, but regular work is hard to come by these days.
It’s not a job with a trade publisher (I’m not going to announce here what it is, to keep [...]

Writing Excuses hilarity, conferences and conventions for children’s/YA

Stacy | July 28, 2009

Today’s Writing Excuses covers conventions you (writers) should be attending, but they didn’t really have time to cover conventions and conferences specifically geared for children’s books (and I actually am not sure if any of them have been to anything except the occasional BYU Writing for Young Readers). I’ve been meaning to post something about [...]

Links for the cover issue

Stacy | July 27, 2009

Via the Brown Bookshelf, John Green discusses the cover issue for Justine Larbalestier’s book in a thorough way, taking into account all the changes our industry is going through.

Also, I’ve added several books to my POC booklist thanks to all the people who have been suggesting books. There are a number of fantasy books by [...]

Another post on self-publishing

Stacy | June 25, 2009

Today the #followreader conversation on Twitter covers self-publishing, and I just wrote this post to the Utah Children’s Writers list in answer to a similar question, so I’m reproducing it here for a wider audience:
I think you could pretty much group everyone’s comments on what someone who self-publishes has to do under the umbrella of [...]
