A former teacher of mine is teaching a creative writing class to high school seniors and invited me to speak to them—basically offering that they would read a few chapters of my ms (which has an agent offer) and then we could have a discussion. While a part of me would love to do a school visit (and start building my reader platform), I’m not sure if the timing is right since I don’t have published book yet. What do you think?

I’m new to writing and currently working on a YA book. I have three main characters in my book that will be going on different quests. How should I handle each quest in one book or should they each have a book of there own – meeting up at the end? Thanks for you help!

A friend and I are considering submitting a collection of our poems for publication. We have each written about half the poems. How do we handle this in our query? We each have some publishing credits for our poetry.

Dear Editor…
My MG is around 20,000 words. Too long to be a chapter book and too short to be in the ideal range for MG… so do I cut and change the vocabulary to make it a chapter book or do I try and expand on the characters, add scenes, to make it more like a solid MG?
Thank you!

Dear Editor…
I’d like to post a 1- to 2-page excerpt of my latest manuscript along with a summary of the book on my blog. Do editors and agents frown on having the material out there for all to see before they’ve had a chance to sell it? Should I worry about the idea getting swiped before I publish it?
Sincerely,
Heather
