Very helpful! I actually shuddered at “The door creaked open, squeezing them against the wall”. Eliza stopping herself from crying out is very emotional. Thanks for sharing.

Comment on One Example by Lynn Dean

I heard this week from 11-yr-old Evan Jones, another Texas homeschooler, who turned his interest in private space flight into a book “by a kid, for kids.” Evan created the outline, did the research, wrote the text, and provided the illustrations. That’s a lot of work! His mom says sometimes he considered quitting before his book was published, but Evan persevered because “it really is a great book that so many kids could enjoy and learn from” and “most of all, he could encourage other kids that they can do anything they set their minds to.”

Available at Amazon.com (http://amzn.com/B0057GTP8U), Evan used Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/publish/books/)to produce his book.

Congratulations to Evan Jones!

No such thing as a stupid question! How can you know unless you ask, right?

The readers, in this case, are our contributors and/or volunteers who are skilled at critiquing. We’ll only forward the first five pages for the purposes of our contest because that’s about how many pages book shoppers (and also editors and agents) thumb through before they make the decision to “buy” or “pass.” It’s very important, therefore, to make those first five pages the very best they can be!

Hello, you mention that the pages we send in are going to be forwarded to your readers. I was wondering if it’s going to be just the five pages or if you are going to want more? Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but I’m just curious.

Please and thank you in advance
