Surviving the Slow Burn of Middle Grade, a guest post by Shannon Messenger The trick is to not give up while the slow burn runs its course.

Excellent guest post by Shannon Messenger on the slow burn of Keeper of the Lost Cities. It’s absolutely my favorite #mglit series…To hear about its humble beginnings is shocking but so inspiring!✨ teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2024/11/20/s...

To those of you who don't know me: I'm Laila. I write MG fiction, mostly set in an alternate Egypt, which is where I live (well, in the real version). I've got 2 books out with Chicken House, and one on the way! Pleased to meet you! #kidlit #kidlituk #mglit
