My first novel was embraced by an editor, she told me to not give to anyone else, all she had to do was bring it to her editorial meeting.<br /><br />Two weeks later I got a curt rejection.

These girls were about fifteen and to give them an idea of something they could create at their young age, I told them I knew a girl who wrote her book (that is now getting published) at the age of thirteen! Their eyes got wide! Your story made their day. :)Mary Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381578745894421730noreply@blogger.com
