Hey everybody,
I just joined up yesterday and am slowly learning to navigate my way around... (technologically challenged but learning slowly) I just completed my first upper middle grade fantasy and am now working on its sequel.

Hey everyone!
Yep, 'yolo' is definitely a thing. I actually find it kind of funny (picked it up from a kid) and now I say it sarcastically occasionally. Don't judge me!!!

I just got my account validated today and I'm really excited to start learning my way around.
Most of my favorite books growing up have been Middle Grade books so that's what I write now. My four biggest projects, including the one I'm working on right now all fall under this category.

Hey guys. I'm working on a MG dystopian in the realm of The City Of Ember (but with Goblins!). I have 3 questions, if you wonderful people would be so kind, 1. I asked about word counts for upper MG in a separate thread- I'm mostly wondering what other people are writing. Seems WC is trending up for MG. (thread is here for the full question http://absolutewrite.com/forums/show...44#post8172744) 2. recommendations for good dystopian MG? 3. Is dystopian as dead in MG as YA right now? I didn't think so but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks :-)
