Four agents who represent children’s literature, took time out of their busy day to share their insight and wisdom on platform, writing picture books, and writing for young audiences. If you want a better understand of what these agents are seeking in their submissions inbox and in their clients—and thus developing a better understanding of how to approach them and find representation—be sure to pick up a copy of Children’s Writer’s & Illustrator’s Market 2018 for the full roundup!

Alistair Cross and Tamara Thorne joined forces in 2012 and in collaboration, they have written several novels including The Cliffhouse Haunting, The Ghosts of Ravencrest, and Mother. 

They are collaborating actively on several more novels and together, they also host the horror-themed radio show Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE! which has featured such guests as Anne Rice, Laurell K. Hamilton, Christopher Moore, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, VC Andrews, Preston & Child, Charlaine Harris, and Christopher Rice.

Currently, Thorne & Cross are writing the continuing Ravencrest Saga, and a sequel to Tamara’s Candle Bay, which will feature Michael, Winter, and Chynna from Alistair’s vampire novel, The Crimson Corset. 

We have switched to a new chatroom software provider. You are on the correct site. It just looks a lot different. 

You will see pop-up windows on each page allowing you to access the new digs. 

Use the pop-up window and select Public Chatroom and a second box will pop-up allowing you to chat. If the room assigns you a made up name, click on the tiny pencil in the upper right corner to change your name.

To enlarge the window, try grabbing the corners when the tiny double arrow appears. 

In the settings area, the gear beside your name, a drop down window will also allow you to mute the sound effect associated with comments.

WritersChatroom.com/wp/chatroom will take you to a page with an embedded room. I prefer the non-embedded chat because once you resize it the software remembers for your next visit.

Your nominations gave us a place on the list, again. To all of you who from all of us - Thank You!
