#FicFest, here I come!

Friends and followers may know about my incredible experience earlier this year as a winner of Pitch2Publication, a contest where authors submit completed books for an opportunity to gain mentorship by an editor or writer a little further along the journey. When Rebecca Faith Heyman chose my YA thriller, "Ten Past Closing," as her pick, I was bowled over. It was a ton of work, but I loved every minute of it. And, as a result, I was bowled over again when I was offered representation by one of my dream agents, Dr. Uwe Stender.

So, as a way of working to help recreate that same experience for another writer, I applied to be a mentor in a similar competition called FicFest, and author and creator, Tiffany Hoffman, accepted me into her FicFest brood. So, ready or not, here I come! 

I'll be mentoring in the Middle Grade category. The contest doesn't officially open until the winter of 2017, but I'll definitely be posting updates along with info on the kinds of books I'll be willing to mud-wrestle the other mentors for. 

Until then...
