I just saw on their blog that they're having a party for aspiring YA writers (in Boston): http://paperlanternlit.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/1314/ Sounds great for writers in that area!
Thanks for the responses - it sounds like a good deal.
I'm wondering what kind of conflict, if any, this might have with an already agented writer. If the agent has signed a specific work and not an author, I suppose the writer could use a pen name...?
I understand that PPL retains copyright -- do they also own the pen name, or may writers publish other works under the same name?
I don't believe the use of pen names is standard for WFH -- it may be common in some sectors but I know many writers who do WFH under their own names, in part to build credits and readership. Can writers do that for PPL? I understand that PPL retains copyright -- do they also own the pen name, or may writers publish other works under the same name?
This may seem a bit of silly question, but when they talk about submitting a resume along with the sample pages and a bio is that specifically a 'writing' resume or a more general one?
It's really strange. But you have to register so you can send in a submission. They have a form where you fill it out and send an attachment. But in other instructions they tell you NOT to send an attachment.
So where is their submission email? Or do you use the form? Which is it?
Tri--confused and befuddled.
I'm intimidated by the section for a cover letter. What should I do? Write it like I would for a job? Or is that where the query for the sample goes (even though I know I'm not querying sample)?
