Hi all. I've been hovering on the edge for a while and decided it was time to dip my toe in. Hoping there aren't any crocodiles.
I write YA and MG novels with a fantasy element. I've had some small successes with long listings for them and my short stories. Had a handful of the shorts accepted into anthologies, but am still in search of that elusive agent. Currently wrestling a new project - a dystopian YA dealing with prejudice and inequality.
I read a lot of YA as research (and pleasure). Current favourites are A Good Girls Guide to Murder and The Hate U Give. But I'll read most genres. Favourite books in the last year are Natasha Pulley's The Watchmaker of Filigree Street duology.
One thing I've learned about writing is the importance of getting feedback and good critique partners. Gold dust.
