There are so many wonderful writing links that have helped me on my
writing journey. How about you guys?
Do you have a collection of links you still refer to from time to
time? Some you’ve just discovered?
For this post, I’d like kick off 2017 by offering a query critique to
one commenter in exchange for sharing a link that has helped you along the way.
You never
know whose world you might enlighten with one of those links!
If you'd like to be
entered for the query critique, please leave your email address after the link(s). I’ll choose a winner by Friday, January 20th (links are still
welcomed any time after that! Share as many as you like!).
I’ll start with just a few of my favs (I even dug out some from the Middle
Grade Minded archives). Hope they come in handy!
Best to all my fellow writers in 2017!
Thanks for sharing!

Choosing one source is tough, but here it is: http://writershelpingwriters.net/
This site continues to refine itself and the sources are excellent. Planners, character interviews, emotional thersaurus - it's all here. Writers Helping Writers is a must for your bookmarks! It's one of the first sites I started using, and I go back to it often.
Great list! Here are some I use a lot.
This is the best advice I've every found for writing a one page synopsis: http://www.publishingcrawl.com/2012/04/17/how-to-write-a-1-page-synopsis/
And I love this method of creating your character: http://yatopia.blogspot.de/2014/01/the-wound-and-want-how-to-breathe-life.html

Thank you for sharing this excellent resource!
Two Writing Teachers is a group of educators who blog about getting students to write. There is also a strong philosophy based in all of their posts that teachers that write are better teachers of writing. Also, mentor texts are another focus.
Teachers and school librarians put books into students' hands. As writers, it is a great idea to connect with educators on social media and to have a pulse on how our writing may one day be utilized in the classroom as a mentor text. Plus, an author may get a better idea of what young children might appreciate in a school visit.
One more thing...Every Tuesday and for the whole month of March, TWT hosts the Slice of Life challenge. Stacey Schubitz, the leader of TWT, gives prizes for participants of the March challenge. It would be a wonderful prize to receive MG books!
