Mashup:
Here are some great links on writing, the industry, and all things book related. Some are serious, and some are just downright hilarious. We highly recommend you read them!
- Where Are All The Daring Women’s Heroines?
– Seriously fantastic article on daring female characters and how there are plenty of brave, adventurous female role models for children; but how you won’t find adult equivalents very easily.
- YA vs. Adult: Do You Have The Voice?
- DNA Writers
- Famous Writers’ Small Writing Sheds and Off-the-Grid Huts
- Literary Agent Natalie Fischer on Nailing Voice
– Not only is our very own Mandy Hubbard quoted in this article (yay Mandy!), but this is a great look at why not everyone can write for young adults. And how “crossover appeal” isn’t actually all that appealing.
– If you’ve followed our blog for a while, you probably know that we think C.A. Marshall is all kinds of wonderful. She’s started a group blog with some fellow NaNo writers. So while all of us LTWF contributors came together through our experiences on FictionPress, all the contributors at DNA Writers came together through NaNoWriMo!
– A sweet article looking at writing huts! (Makes me want one of my own!)
– An interview with Julie Eshbaugh’s agent Natalie Fischer discussing how you know whether or not a voice is right for your manuscript. A great interview!

βOften, I get the feeling that the story is really happening somewhere and all I’m doing is trying to work out the best way to tell it.β
