  1. Thanks for posting this. It’s an awesome contest.

    I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s death.

    I just heard in the Michigan SCBWI newsletter that you’ll be a presenter at the Fall conference. I am so excited!

  2. -Would like to know more about your critique-on-line service.
    -Not especially comfortable with Twitter — use regular email.
    -Have an historical MG/YA novel that needs revision.
