Virginia Zimmerman commented on Georgia McBride's group Middle Grade Lair"Trash by Andy Mulligan is another great MG with shifting POV. Mulligan makes the really interesting choice of having each chapter begin very explicitly, like "It's Gardo again, and I'm picking up the story now." I think this is a…"

Virginia Zimmerman commented on Georgia McBride's group Middle Grade Lair"I need ya'll to keep me from following up on my fulls when I don't really have a good reason to do so except that waiting is driving me crazy. I keep starting e-mails and then discarding them. I have to just keep waiting, right? One agent…"
Virginia Zimmerman replied to Sheri Larsen's discussion Tense & POV in the group Middle Grade Lair"My latest MG is in first person. My first was in a classic third person omniscient, and the voice really didn't come through. I've definitely had more success with my first person. I chose it because I really wanted to focus on voice. That…"

Vonna Carter replied to Virginia Zimmerman's discussion A Sketch in Time by Virginia Zimmerman in the group Middle Grade Lair"Great setting, Virginia. You've already given us lots of conflict and the real problems haven't even started. The MC's pain and confusion come through well.
Everyone else has given you great advice on some particulars, but I would…"
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…"

StaffSheri Larsen said… Hey there,
Georgia just emailed me. She had some advice and questions for you. Have you queried this ms previously? If you have, requery those agents and put Offer Received, Representation Needed Immediately in the subject line. She also said she could submit you to the Agent Mailbox as a priority, right now, even though the March subs have already gone out. She'd need a full synopsis and a query, though, so the agents can tell if they'd be interested or not.
Hope this helps. Excited for you!
