What happens when you let a book rest? According to author josette abruzzini, resting a manuscript is more like simmering a good sauce. Read Josette's fabulous post, here. I'm so grateful to have played a small part in her author journey. josetteabruzzini.com/post/pushing-t…

How do you start a story? Today I share the many openings for WOOD, WIRE, WINGS (illus. Tracy Subisak from Astra Books for Young Readers ) on Lea C Maryanow's blog as part of her 'Can You Spot the Difference' series. leamaryanow.com/post/spot-the-…
