Do you write for middle graders or young adults?

Bid to win a critique by me, author Cynthia Leitich Smith, of the first 10 pages of your novel in progress!

I’m the author of Rain Is Not My Indian Name, Tantalize, Eternal, Blessed (Feb. 2011), and Tantalize: Kieren’s Story (Feb., 2011; a graphic novel) as well as middle grade-YA short stories and books for younger children.

I’m also on the faculty of the Vermont College of Fine Arts MFA program in Writing for Children and Young Adults.

I’ll provide extensive comments on the manuscript, an overview letter, and, if applicable, suggest both additional resources for study and marketing strategies.

Bidding begins at $10.

Auction ends at midnight CST March 30. Bid here!
