From the Mixed-Up Files…

…of Middle Grade Authors is an awesome group blog that celebrates books for middle grade readers.  Aimed at anyone with a passion for children’s literature—teachers, librarians, parents, kids, writers, industry professionals— we offer regularly updated book lists organized by unique categories, author interviews, market news, and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a children’s book from writing to publishing to promoting.  And I say “we” because myself and ten other authors have just been chosen as the newest members of the blog!  Stay tuned for details of my first posting and check into the blog regularly for lots of great information.
