Oh hey there! :D I just noticed this place existed!! Thought it might be a good place to be : )

[Alison Pearce Stevens]

Hi everyone! *waves*  I'm Alison, and I write MG nonfiction and MG fantasy-adventure. So excited to explore and see what's here!

[Sheri Larsen]

Hey, Alison!! Fancy meeting you here. Love blogging with you and now we can share our writing journey here, too. I'm our MG Lair's moderator. Head over and join our group!! Excited to work with you. I'm hoping to get my MG fantasy writing this summer. ;D

[Alison Pearce Stevens]

Hi Sheri! A friend suggested I head over here; I didn't know MG writers were allowed! ;-)  I've joined the MG Lair. Now if I can just find some time to write with the kids at home...

[Hayley Arens]

Hello everyone! Call me Hayley! I am a jumble of emotions right now: nervous because I am both young and an ultra newbie to this world (not to writing, although I'll be the first to say I still have a lot to learn!), excited because I don't have friends who write, and quite frankly, overwhelmed.

I write YA, but I haven't really stuck to one genre. I've done fantasy, urban fantasy, scifi, historical, contemporary, and always romance! I'm a draft hoarder and pathetic editor, Haha. I'm currently working on MSS #4.

My biggest problem is what I call 'draft hoarding.' I have some kind of block, physically or mentally--maybe both when it comes to querying. I'm working on overcoming that.

Now you know my life story, and that I'm verbose. So, let me finish by saying: I am very excited to be here! And I can't wait to immerse myself into this site! :)

[Sheri Larsen]

You said verbose. I like you already! Welcome to YAlitchat, Hayley. Glad to have you here. Feel free to surf our site to get familiar with your new surroundings. Looking forward to working with you. ;D
