Thank you for an entertaining and helpful newsletter as always, and for the great interview with Lisa Mangum, and THANK YOU FOR THE SHOUTOUT! I actually found a copy with that cover and totes bought it. So Nakey Yoda is chilling on my bookshelf, pondering the secrets of the universe on his little stump until I get the chance to bring him to a Brandon Mull event and get it signed.
I really love all of this and really need to get to Storymakers someday! "Be bold enough to write the story of your life in ink." - THAT'S AWESOME.
"The universe rings true whenever you fairly test it." WOW.
What am I writing? I just got past the midpoint with my new WIP while my agent was querying my latest manuscript. I was feeling great - and then she resigned (for very understandable circumstances) and I am bereft with no agent. Back to querying...it will be okay (she said while freaking out). Anyway, thanks for all of this good stuff (I've never read a Brandon Mull book and I think maybe Is hould. Will I enjoy without really being a fantasy girl? Is there one I should start with?)
I love all of this so much! And I'm sending you so much querying luck. I hope it goes speedy fast for you and you find the right next person!
And I've only read Fablehaven, to be honest, but I really enjoyed it. And there's something about his writing that young boys especially really connect with, just based on my little brothers and their friends.
I should read - my nieces and nephews love him. Btw, bc of your interview, I just dropped my latest manuscript into the Shadow Mountain query portal; we shall see. I thought why not?!?!
I love that editing advice and the Dino poet book looks great. My kids really liked the origami yoga books. Also we have been watching some Mythbusters recently too :)
Love this, "But hey, whatever CIA agent is assigned to my internet, if you need a Latvian translater, I have a recommendation." Raising the stakes is such good advice I need to heed!
What a fun whirlwind month you had indeed! I hope you get plenty of time in June to work on your WIP. Keep us posted! My May was lots of traveling too and PR with my new MG out 5/6 so I aim to hideaway this month and work on my WIP as well. :)

Yay Mythbusters! It's just the right thing sometimes. And I'm always in favor of books that make poetry fun.

I needd that advice too! And thank you 😄
Great writing advice! And also, I’m SO excited for Thursday Night Murder Club too!
I can't wait!!! Ben Kingsley!! Helen Mirren!
I KNOW! I loved the books so much.
Right?? I read them and I was like, oooohhhh NOW I know what voice Id want if I wrote an adult book…
