Congratulations to Evena, Kristy, Jill, and Sue; Plus: Children's writers wanted for a critique group

If you’ve had a story (or a book!) published, if you’ve won or placed in a writing contest, if you’ve gotten yourself an agent, or if you have any other news, send me an email so I can share your success. As writers, we’re all in this together, and your good news gives us all a boost. 

Also, be sure to let know if you're looking for a writers' group or beta readers; a notice in Quick Brown Fox, will help you find them.

Hi, Brian.

I got a second short story published! You might remember this one as a chapter from the novel I'm working on, Supers. Thanks for encouraging me to submit chapters as short stories – what a great idea! I've learned so much from your courses and particularly the Friday morning group, and look forward to the learning yet to come. 

Cheers!

Kristy Jackson

You can read Kristy’s story, “Dragon Breath” on Short Kid Stories, but you can also read it on Quick Brown Fox with way better images here.

 

Hi, Brian.

Great news! I just wanted to let you know that my five minutes of life in 100 words piece “Swimming Lesson” has been accepted for Five Minute Lit’s June publication. 

Thank you for your workshops and the help they have provided.  

Kind regards,

Evena Gottschalk

Writer to Writer

Hi, Brian.

I would love it if you would post something on your blog asking if there are any other children's writers out there who would like to join a critique group.

There are currently two of us who share our writing bi-weekly. We are both in the greater Hamilton area and have remained hopeful that in person meetings will become a regular thing again. However, if someone is interested and not local, we do meet on Zoom and would be happy to continue doing so.

I'm still working on my Middle Grade novel and the other member of the group writes picture books and is currently working on a YA novel.

Your help would be most appreciated!

Warm regards,

Stacey Moffat
