Introduction

Hey, I'm a local writer! I write MG and YA and would love to do a meetup write session. I'm also a member MWA and www.yalitchat.ning.com which are both supportive of YA writers. Anyone doing nanowrimo?

What genre do you write? This is primarily a group for adults writing young adult or children's genres, so will you be able to contribute to this?

YA SciFi with a sprinkle of romance.

What length pieces do you write? Short stories, novels, poems, etc?

Novels

Have you been published? If not, how serious are you about getting published?

Yes, and I go through the process for each book. Very serious.

Have you ever been part of a critique group before? If so, how was your experience?

Yes, it was good for my level at the time. Now I'm looking for a supportive, experienced group of writers that give good critiques without being nasty.

Why do you write?

To relax. I typically kick out 3 manuscripts a year. Which causes me to do beta switches instead. I talk about writing and my journey on my blog. http://lmpreston.blogspot.com

What LM Preston is saying about this Meetup Group

Great exchange of information. Would like to see a progression from Critique of manuscript to include Query Letter writing and Synopsis writing for submission of work to lit agents.
