We want you to join us and play in ways that you can't imagine right now to open new doors to publishing. Middle Grade novels are hot, hot, hot. They're the number 1 thing that many agents are looking for. Middle Grade novels pay much better than picture or chapter books and are more likely to be made into movies. Middle Grade novels enable the writer to spend time with their characters and go deeper into their lives and world. Ideas can be more complex as can story lines, which can be a huge asset for writers who feel constrained or limited by short simplified picture book conventions.
We hope that you will join us on this extraordinary, creatively empowering adventure!
