Great links...

Here are some great links for the week.

I hate to shamelessly plug, but hey, that's the way it goes!

My new blog, YA Flash Death Match, is having a contest this week...if you're interested in winning one of 2 Barnes & Noble gift cards JUST for being awesome, then be sure to check it out!  Leave a comment, get an entry to win.  Follow me or Michelle Sussman, and get a few more entries!  You've got until Friday!

Kathy Fenton White's blog talks about the joy of writing.  And mentions Michelle and me.  Thanks for the shout out Kathy!

Check out Hilary Wagner's query letter on Matthew Rush's blog to see what worked for her.  Let's hope all of us get to the point where we can share our winning query letter! Congrats to Hilary and her book, Nightshade City, which comes out this fall.

Cassandra Marshall discusses genre, a very important thing to consider when querying!  It's important to be clear on what category your novel falls into. 

And finally, some great writing tips from author Christie Craig on the BookEnds site.  Enjoy!
