creator of Go Teen Writers
author of The Reinvention of Skylar Hoyt series
Once upon a time, I was a high school student dreaming of being published. Now I'm in my twenties and a working novelist.
Because I knew nothing and no one when I started down the road of publication, I'm passionate about sharing what knowledge I've gained with the next generation of writers. That's what Go Teen Writers is all about - sharing and community.
At Go Teen Writers, you can read the details of how I got published, get advice on finding an agent, connect with other aspiring writers, and lots, lots more.If you're interested in learning more about me and my books, you can:

Hi Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! It's pack-filled with amazing and resourceful tips for teen writers. I hope to some day mentor as many teens as you do.
I'm a teen novelist, too, but am trying to find a home for my YA paranormal, suspense series. In the meantime, while I'm juggling rewrites, etc., I started a blog for teen writers.
Last week, I went to the Write to Publish Conference in IL and took notes on editor needs. I've posted their sites and guidelines at my blog. Many of the editors are looking for teen authors. Would you let your teens know if they're looking for summer writing jobs to check it out?
Also, I'll be blogging about Splickety, a flash fiction magazine, and featuring Ben, their editor. He'll be posting about how to write flash fiction. I thought maybe your teens would like to enter submissions in some of these categories.
Thanks for what you do. I'd love to meet you sometime. WIll you be going to the ACFW in September? Any other conferences?
Best,
Michelle
