Wow! Those are some powerful thoughts and questions, and make me want to take a closer look at the story I’m revising to see if I’ve been as honest about my characters as I could have been. Thank you!

Thanks, Sandy! This is deep stuff that can be really hard to nail when drafting. It’s definitely perfect for revision. 🙂

Okay, well, this made me cry. Absolutely beautiful depiction of one of my favorite aspects of MG — taking big, complex, difficult subjects and distilling them down into simple words and images that resonate. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, Alyssa! I really enjoyed your live session earlier on narrative & character arcs and how they relate! One of my favorite topics to study.

I loved this. 🙂 I, too, write MG. My debut and my second both involve death. I lost my mother suddenly and tragically at 7 and this really impacted my life. I love that maybe I can help someone get through, you know? I also think it fosters empathy, something the world could use more of i think. Thanks for this and your books. 🙂

I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re so right about empathy–I love reading MG because they always touch my heart and make me a better person. <3

Thank you for this! I write middle grade and so much of what you touched upon resonated with me. I appreciate how you keep coming back the to the readers–the kids–and what they need and want from books. I’m inspired!
