LDK 38 - Young Author Roundtable

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Jill Williamson, Nadine Brandes, Lauren Brandenburg, and Katie Grace to discuss writing from a young author point of view. You'll notice that we have fewer laugh tracks because we all had our microphones muted! Also, we had 7 people on a chat, so some of us had some technical issues. :( Sorry about that!) Some of the topics we discussed were: Challenges that young writers face, from their own perspective. Challenges for mentors to young writers. Who mentors the mentors? Creative people versus non-creative people. Making time for writing and editing. Different writing software--and tools and apps! Character arcs of favorite superheroes. There is no such thing as good writing, only good rewriting. -- Robert Graves Books you have to read (besides our own): The Lunar Chronicles
