Carolrhoda Books Blog: Let me help you
http://carolrhoda.blogspot.com/2012/09/let-me-help-you.html
Friday, September 14, 2012. Let me help you. Oh the demographic humanities. It’s authorial cognitive dissonance of biblical proportions! Old people are buying lots of YA novels! Publishers are creating new audience categories for new adults. Meanwhile 80 percent of all query letters contain a version of this phrase “teen readers will relate to/empathize with/etc.”. Who will come to your aid? What is an author to do? Posted by Andrew Karre. Let me help you. Lerner Publishing Group Blog. Ilsa J. Bick.

Carolrhoda Books Blog: A Way It Could Be
http://carolrhoda.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-way-it-could-be.html
Monday, August 12, 2013. A Way It Could Be. How about a bit of utopianism for Monday morning? Here’s the deal. If you spend an hour with this 11-video oral history of skateboarding photography.
