I'll share my OPWFT-type news as soon as I can. For now, I'll dance some more because my short story was also accepted to the AW anthology :D

I had a VERY good publishing day yesterday. It was honestly a "it never rains, it pours" type of day.

OMG now i want to know... :D CONGRATS regardless! :partyguy:

The title was a joke response to Teens Writing for Teens. Then people kept posting in it.

There is a College Students Writing for Teens too, but it's not stickied because it's not as popular

Yeah, but if we let every possible category start a thread, there would be nothing but "Writing for Teens" threads in YA. So I close them.

They're mostly chatty threads anyway. Nobody cares what age you are.

New member and this thread was the first to really catch my attention. I'm only thirty but hopefully not too old to write for YA/Children's market! I think mentally I would classify as a teenager given that my bookshelf is filled with The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Fallen, anything by Amanda Hocking, etc.

Ah, generally anyone can write for teens. As long as you are writing for that age and about things that are relevant to them.

Hi, all. Pretty sure I qualify for this thread, since I was in high school in the heyday of John Hughes movies. In fact, I have a couple kids in high school now, so they help me keep my writing from sounding too dated.

Hey all~~~~~~~~~! Greetings from overcast but GORGEOUS San Francisco....where your friendly neighborhood Moni is living it up like the hellion that she is!! ;)

Parump....LOVE the new avi! It's GORGEOUS dahlink!

Ok.....so there is just WAYYYYYYYYYY too much to update with....so I'll just go to say that right now Ava is currently with a friend being edited for content etc.....the agent that requested the first three chapters gave me an R but she did say that she would be happy to look at the revamp of it....so I can't wait to get Ava back from my friend so I can affect the changes & get it back to her! With that being said I've started writing the sequel Ava's Folly. Personally now that I've gotten all of the details out of the way on Ava....Ava's Folly is going amazingly & is sooooo much more exciting than Ava ever was! I'm soooper excited! So....what's new w/ y'all?? Besides the fact that Krista is now TOTALLY published & all that stuffs! :D

Hiya, Moni :Hug2:

Great to hear from you - glad things are going well. :) You've been missed around here. :D

I'm just chilling with some beta work at the moment to have a break from my own writing (procrastination - moi? Lol!). Will soon have more free time cos I'm being made redundant at the end of the month (I'm gonna hibernate over the winter, lol).

:welcome: to all the new people, btw.
