- Laurie Halse Anderson on the basics of writing picture books.
- The sad news began circulating over the weekend that Norma Fox Mazer had passed on after battling invasive brain cancer. She will be remembered and celebrated throughout the week over at the VCFA children's/YA alum blog, Through the Tollbooth.
- Meghan has some great writing quotes.
- More love for Whip It! Which you really must see if you haven't. And, semi-related at least, Betsy tosses out some children's lit-themed roller derby names and asks for more. (See also: The more general ones in the comments on this post. My fave's OLIVIA NEUTRON BOMB.)
- Carolyn has a great profile/interview of Sherman Alexie in the LA Times.
- N.K. Jemisin offers wise words about southern racism.
- Kate Messner has more fun with Scrivener. What a great idea on the color coding of the index cards.
- Liz has a must-read summary of the FTC's clarification of its new "guidelines" at KidLitCon (oh, wish I could have gone). Sounds practically, gasp, sensible.
- Excellent news from Cat Valente–she sold Fairyland to Feiwel and Friends. Huzzah!
- The thoroughly awesome Bill Schafer gets interviewed about what nefarious and amazing hijincks Subterranean Press is up to over at Omnivoracious.
