Greetings, Sports Fans!
A few years ago, I had the great pleasure of meeting Deborah Halverson at an SCBWI retreat in Indiana. One morning, we got up early and took a leisurely stroll through the beautiful woods of Brown County State Park. I remember being so impressed with her warmth, her humor, and her smarts.
At that time, Deborah was an assistant editor at Harcourt Brace, really just starting out in her bright new career. Since then, she’s gone on to write her own young adult novels…
…and…
Not only has Deborah embarked upon a successful career as an author, she’s also continued to work as a freelance editor, including managing and running her wonderful blog, “Dear Editor.”
All this on top of being the mom to triplet sons, Darin, Vance and Kirk!
And now, she’s cooked up something else, something that I guarantee will be of use to anyone who is interested in writing for young adults. Check it out!
This book is seriously good! And that’s not only because she invited yours truly to be a contributor . . . really . . . it’s not! In fact, there are a whole boatload of contributors, including a forward by my homie, M.T. Anderson.
To learn more, be sure to check out the other stops on Deborah’s blog tour:

Calloo, callay!
Nice video, Kathi! Glad Hoss could help! I can’t wait to get my own copy of the book as soon as I get home from vacation!

Cindy, what would I do without Hoss?
Too cute! Hoss is definitely brilliant, and you might be as well.
Hoss is gifted and talented.
