Huh…

I am in this weird place where I want to write a blog post but I have absolutely no idea what to write about. The smart thing would be to just skip blogging today, but instead I am going to stare at this little box for a while and then probably write a bunch of [...]

YAcinema

Yet again I am sending you to another site instead of writing something interesting here. Sorry…I will repent, or something. But this is really cool. And you all need to check it out. Four YA-writers-slash-movie-junkies (Kiersten White, Stephanie Perkins, Natalie Whipple, and Molly Brewer) got together recently and started YAcinema. Basically the idea is this: [...]

Is it a good thing, or is it a bad thing?

Can publishers learn from movie studios?

Before the actual post, we have some exciting news today: rock star/ninja/literary agent Nathan Bransford landed a book deal (for his own book, not a client’s). I am excited to meet Jacob Wonderbar in a couple years. Also, this is a must read post. I have been asked many times why I write young adult [...]

Rob Zombie remaking “The Blob”

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming:   I work in the movie business, so I have a LOT of movie news coming in every day. Normally, I will not be posting about movie news (unless, of course, I learn that y’all actually like for me to), but this one is too good (read: BAD) to [...]
