OneFour Kidlit


Exciting things, y’all!

As if I don’t have enough on my plate already, I’ve joined 7 other authors to form 2014’s (?first) YA and MG debut authors community—OneFour KidLit (Heard of The Lucky 13s? Like that, ‘cept for 2014. But also awesome.) I’m a moderator. It’s sort of a big deal.

OneFour is a way for other 2014 debut authors to get together, network, and best of all, chat about all the stuff we can’t really chat about publically because a) we’re not allowed to, and b) no one outside of publishing industry cares. Here we’ll discuss edit letters, revision hell, option books, cover reveals, foreign sales, marketing, tours (holy crap! tours!), etc., etc. As we come closer to 2013, a blog will be added for marketing of our novels.

Like I said—exciting!

So any authors out there with a YA or MG book debuting in 2014 who are interested in joining our community can head on over to OneFour Kidlit to check out the submission criteria.

And don’t forget to follow us on twitter!

  2. That sounds fantastic! I'm such a nerd I was actually wondering if there were any blogs out there for fourteeners, because I'd love to read about the journey from the beginning(ish). I only wish I did have an excuse to join you guys, but I'll read instead and be with you in spirit.
