New resolution…
Okay, I know it’s not New Year’s Day but, with the help of a little nudge by Jill Corcoran, I am determined to blog regularly.
My schedule:
Monday: What am I reading?
Tuesday: Writing Challenges
Wednesday: Anything Day
Thursday: Industry news
Friday: Useful Information
Looks like today is “Useful Information Day”

Yay, you’re back in the saddle. And thank you google alerts for helping me find you so quickly…on my name, not yours:)
You are a great blogger. Can’t wait to read more.
I think by publishing this information you are really helping writers best direct submissions to the correct editors and agents, something editors and agents truly appreciate.
I’m adding you to my blog roll on my blog right now.
Happy blogging, Colleen:)
Popping over from Jill Corcoran’s blog. I’m happy to see so many agents and editors are interested in edgy YA!
Also, I’ve been scouring the net trying to find out what Marietta Zacker is interested in. This is fabulous. Thank you.
Casey,
Marietta also mentioned that she is very interested in novels with authentic Latino characters.
