First 250 Words of THE HOLLY KING
Started Jan 24, 2011 0 Replies 0 Likes
Writing the first 250 words of a novel can be unsettling. Many doubts creep in when so much is on the line. I adjusted my opening of THE HOLLY KING considerably in order to interest a more…Continue

Anne Severn Williamson replied to Jamila Mosi's discussion The Darkest Lullaby in the group Synopsis Repair Shop"Hi Jamila!
I always love your stories and the names of your characters. This tale has the passion and sweep of The Three Musketeers, only with magic! Here are a few points that I have learned about synopsis writing. I really hope they help you.…"

Virginia Zimmerman replied to Anne Severn Williamson's discussion The Fairy Lore of Ghost Horse Hollow / Anne Severn Williamson in the group Middle Grade Lair"I really like your first sentence. It immediately gets my attention and establishes the tone.
In the third sentence, I’d take out “uncomfortably.” You chose the great word “bristled,” which establishes discomfort…"
Melanie Singer replied to Anne Severn Williamson's discussion The Fairy Lore of Ghost Horse Hollow / Anne Severn Williamson in the group Middle Grade Lair"Hi Anne,
I liked your first line. Had a lighthearted tone that makes your character's experience with enchantment relatable, a life experience that has its ups and down."
Anne Severn Williamson replied to L. A. Steven's discussion Is there really an upper MG category? in the group Middle Grade Lair"Terrific discussion everyone! I would place HG in the YA catagory. The tone seemed so mature, even brooding or bleak at times. I am writing in the Upper MG category and was just about to put that term in my query letter. Perhaps I shoud…"

Anne Severn Williamson replied to Sheri Larsen's discussion The Hierarchy of Writing Middle Grade in the group Middle Grade Lair"I believe I am writing for upper MG. Is Harry Potter the standard for this group? I am adding a touch of romance with characters that start at 13 & 14 years of age. By the time the series is through, they should be around 17.

Greetings from Ghost Horse Hollow!
Hello Members of YAlitchat!
I am so delighted to be a part of this website community. My interests are raising naturally gaited Mountain Horses, swimming, gardening, cooking. I have always loved children's poetry, theater, and literature. I live in central Montana, where the prairie meets the low pine ridges and windswept buttes. Ghost Horse Prairie Ranch is home to fifteen extremely rare blue-eyed equines and some very pesky goats. They all enjoy munching sweet grass under hawk-filled skies. The YA Fantasy I am currently seeking an agent for is called TURN OF THE BLADE. The galloping tales unfold in the Appalachian woodlands one hundred years in the future. I really enjoy writing fantasy novels for Middle Grade and YA readers.

Hearts and Books Should Meet!

This past month was very special for me as a writer of children's fantasy. I had an opportunity to visit the Lewis & Clark Middle School in Billings, Montana. I had a wonderful time meeting the 7th and 8th grade students that had signed up for the Lunch & Learn program in the school library. Mrs. Elizabeth Waddington, the new Lewis and Clark librarian, introduced me to a delightful audience of young writers and curious readers. It was heartwarming to see the excitement in the eyes of… Continue
Keeping the Faith
Posted on May 14, 2010 at 12:30pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
One of the most challenging tasks for a writer is to consistently "keep the faith" in their projects and their work. It is difficult to prop one's chin up at times, especially when waiting for an agent to return a query. My love for this beautiful and splendid world always inspires me to continue writing. The Fairy Lore of Ghost Horse Hollow is an exploration of humankind's relationship to Nature ... past, present, and future. The characters understand the importance of environmental…
