Aubrey Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Creative Writing textbook?! Hey, I find that sexy as heck! When will it be available for sale? And what age range will it target? Congratulations!!! :smilielol5: See? That's what I just said! I have no idea when it will be available. The contract has tiny print w/ a bunch of lawyer words, & my hands are shaking. I'd say app. 8-11 grades. Maybe a wider range? I don't know. Dd insisted on hearing a story one night, so I read her a ch of this. It made dh & I laugh until we cried, so he convinced me to finish it. Personally (& I'm not biased or anything), I think it's good enough to just *read* w/out teaching anyone to write. But you might want a second opinion on that. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's someone we all know. :D Really?????? :w00t: I wonder if I'm guessing correctly..... Well...it's a creative writing textbook. Whooohooo!!! I'm so excited for you! I was going to ask if it was your novel you were working on awhile ago, but then I read this. Wow, hey, I was at a friend's house the other day, and noticed she had a TOS magazine - I'd never seen it before, so I picked it up to browse through. When lo and behold, I saw a familiar picture and name, and I ran to my friend and said, "Hey, I 'know' this girl!!!" It was you! Hooray for you that things are coming about with your writing!
