Hey all. As you can tell, I’m rolling up my sleeves and just getting started here. Browse my articles, leave a few comments, make sure to enter my query contest that ends October 31st and stick around. I’ll be posting Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from here on out.
Also, feel free to leave any and all publishing, agenting, querying and writing questions here or email me (mary at kidlit dot com). I’d love to know which issues and quandaries are burning holes in your brains.

I’m getting ready to query a kid’s novel I wrote which is, length and reading-level wise, along the lines of “Junie B. Jones” or “Judy Moody & Stink”. It’s 7K in length, an outdoor sports adventure story. I have been calling it early middle grade, but I’m not sure what you actually call this sort of novel. Early middle grade? Chapter book? Easy reader? Early reader? Something else? And, given a category for it, who can I query with it? I see agents who rep MG and agents who rep PBs, but no one seems to rep that elusive genre right in between. Thanks!

Just starting back to writing after taking a correspondence course to improve my skills as a writer. One thing that they did not explain is all of the terms that some of the writers have been using like 7K, MG, PB
I want to be able to talk with other witers and be able to understand the I. M. language that they are using.
