Mad for MG: Why Write MG?

A question I get asked a lot is why I write MG. The shortest answer is: I like it. For a slightly longer but still not comprehensive answer, check out the Mad for MG feature at the OneFour Kid Lit blog today, in which all of us ’14-debut MG writers talk about why we’ve found a home in this category. Also, we have pictures. (Spoiler alert: Mine is not from when I was a middle-grader. I swear that’s not to spare myself from having photographic evidence of my awkward phase on the Internet, but just because I am old enough that all middle-school pictures of me are in albums and not on my computer.)

Mad for Middle Grade: Why MG?

How was your weekend?

OneFour interview!

Happy Monday! I spent my weekend holed up indoors–despite being a Wisconsin native, I’ve gotten used to the milder weather in the Northeast and the sub-20s temperatures this past week are killing me. Okay, not killing me–but I do have a cold. It was the perfect excuse to stay inside and read and revise.

Anyway, today my OneFour KidLit interview is up on the blog! You can check it out here:
