So sorry that this is little late. Also because I've been working so ridiculously hard on the fabulous Hillary Homzie's and my upcoming webinar that really is like a free mini-course, I didn't have time to do my usual Mondays with Mira. Instead, I want to share a bit about what we'll be doing in the webinar, which is the little webinar that grew and grew, and got better and better. It's called 7 Things Every Writer Must Know To Succeed (No matter what your genre) because we provide examples for all different ages and include both fiction and non fiction.
We'll be sharing about the creative, structural, and practical aspects of writing, as well as how to position yourself to maximize your chances of publication. It really is a treat and it's FREE!!!! We want to share our love for kidlit and kidlit people with lots of incredibly useful information, resources, and prizes this coming Saturday the 25th at 11AM Pacific/2PM Eastern. And don't worry it will be recorded if you can't make it live. We truly hope that you can join us. Sending gobs of goodness and love, Mira and Hillary

I just finished Mira's picture book class. Mira is an awesome person, teacher, and artist. I highly recommend not only this free class, but also her middle grade class. You will learn more than you every thought possible, and you will love Mira!
