Touting a Teen Business

You already know I love teenagers.  (Well, most teenagers.)  And the gang at Write On! is top-notch!

Taryn, teen extraordinaire, is on staff over there; she helps run the chats.  She's also one of my beta readers.  So I was pleased to learn that she's launched her own editing business, and wanted to let you all know about it:

Teen Eyes is the editorial service for your YA manuscript. We bring a dual perspective that your critique partners and beta readers may not have: we are the age demographic of your future target audience--teens--as well as experienced writers ourselves. Kate Coursey is represented by Edward Necarsulmer, head of the children's department at MacIntosh and Otis, and her manuscript LIKE CLOCKWORK is undergoing revisions with Scholastic. Taryn Albright is a querying author with eleven manuscripts written and experience in the publishing world as a lit agency intern. Both are avid readers of every genre, and we pride ourselves on our quick turnaround on submitted manuscripts. To read more about our services, GO HERE.


Yay, Taryn!

And here's my personal blurb:  Taryn beta-read my manuscript in record time, and her notes were clear and helpful.  I was also impressed by the maturity of her editorial insight.  That, and she's simply a delight to "be around." I would love to have her read my work any time!

Interview with Helene Boudreau

Have you read it?  She's one of "our own," you know.  As in, hers is one of our indirect success stories (which I still haven't posted...because it's, yanno, time-consuming).

ANNOUNCING: The WRITE ON! Blog for Teens!

Yay!!

A brand new blog for writing and reading teens is now live!

Check it out:

WRITE ON!

Spread the word! Send the link to your favorite bookish teenagers. Your favorite English teachers.

The world at large!

 I've had a vision for this for months, and I'm pleased to finally have it ready to go.  Two awesome teens will be helping me, which means that, someone along the way, I must have learned to delegate.

Imagine that.

Anyway, please poke around a bit! And leave your feedback here, if you don't mind.  I'd love to work out the kinks in the new blog as early as possible, and you're the best crit group I've ever met.

Hooray!
