Next up is the dynamic duo of Kami Kinard and Rebecca Petruck, two authors who have managed to combine heart and humor in a couple of wonderful middle grade reads.
Kami Kinard's THE BOY PROBLEM and THE BOY PROJECT (Scholastic) are both laugh-out-loud funny and endearingly charming, capturing the essence of adolescent angst in facing that age-old problem of finding someone special.
Rebecca Petruck's STEERING TOWARD NORMAL is...well, now that I
think about it, both laugh-out-loud funny and endearingly charming, too! And cows! Lots and lots of interesting stuff about cows! Her WILL NOLAN EATS BUGS (ABRAMS/Amulet) is slated for a March release and with a title like that, I expect it to be a big hit with the middle grade crowd.
It's no surprise then that their intensive is "Building Characters With Heart and Humor." Writing funny is not exactly a laugh-a-minute--it's hard work!--but I can promise you that there will be plenty of laughs to share in this intensive. And plenty of know-how from two writers who know how to combine heart with humor to make a winner for publishers!
So, I'm sorry for all of you attending wik'18 because I don't know how you'll choose your intensive. But choose you must, and as soon as possible!
(Though now that I think about it, whatever intensive you choose, you can't go wrong. They are all just write!)
