Licensed private investigator in CA. Querying book one in the MG series "Meg Minnehan's Misfits." Being yourself is more important than fitting in.

Hey guys! I got an agent for my MG novel! Slush pile success (again): querying works!

This twitter account is in the pen name I was going to use for my MG fiction. I've decided to just use my name. Gonna close this account, so find me here (I follow back)https://t.co/1wMISsm1Si

Hurray @Janet_Reid has a new post. Her blog is so helpful. And I laughed out loud at "fecal roster."

@daniellecerin hahaha first I'll get an agent, then I'll get published, and I promise I'll send you a copy of the book! 😉

Meg Minnehan knows how to stop a bully: she's going to spy on the evil genius Emily Ann Steed, the bully of the 5th grade, and find something embarrassing to expose to the whole school.
Instead, what Meg discovers changes her life.

@SBaldwin_Author I write what I like to read: third person limited (the narrator is limited to knowing what the main character knows). I don't like to read first person; I keep thinking: "How are you narrating this? Where are you? If it's happening right now, how did you write it down?"

This is what I would be doing on TV without writers.

Writers are asking for fairness: when the studios invest millions into producing a film or series, they can pay for the value writers create. #WGAStrong #WGAStrike @WGAEast @WGAWest
