The First Five Pages November Workshop has come to
an end. This group worked so hard on
their revisions, and it showed! A huge thanks to our guest mentor, J.R. Johansson (I can’t wait to read CUT ME FREE!) and also to Pam Glauber, my editor
for The Exceptionals, and now a free lance editor. And thanks to our own Rob Smith who read two
participants entries this month.
We at the workshop are so proud of our amazing
mentors! COMPULSION, by Martina Boone, workshop founder, permanent mentor (and
founder of AYAP), came out a few weeks ago, and is already #9 on Goodreads best
books for the month! And FORBIDDEN, by permanent mentor Kimberley Griffiths
Little, received a starred review by Booklist!
Our December workshop will open for entries at noon
on Saturday November 29, 2014. We'll take the first five Middle Grade,
Young Adult, or New Adult entries that meet all guidelines and formatting
requirements. In addition to our wonderful permanent mentors, we have the
talented Peter Salomon, author of HENRY FRANKS and ALL
THOSE BROKEN ANGELS, and agent Ginger Clark!

in St. Petersburg, FL with his wife Anna and their three sons
Richard Anderson was the last person to see his friend Melanie alive. She vanished when they were six and while the police never found Melanie, a part of her remained—a living shadow that is now Richard’s closest friend.
For ten years, Richard has never questioned the shadow that keeps him company . . . until a new girl moves to town, claiming to be Melanie. Desperate to prove the girl is a fake, the shadow leads Richard to the place where her killer buried her bones. But Richard finds skeletons from several different children . . . and evidence suggesting that perhaps the shadow isn't who she says she is. (From Goodreads)
