So as you can see (and as Alvina said) we've freshened up here at the Blue Rose Girl blog. As we head into the next decade and our 5th(!) year, we thought we could use a little enlivening. Thank you so much, our faithful readers that have made this blog what it is and helped us keep our conversations going.
One of the reasons we started this blog was to talk to each other, but we want to talk to you too! So one of the new features we are planning are our Blue Rose Girl Conversations. Once a month, we'll tackle and talk about kidlit topics that are causing our brains to work in overdrive--kind of like "Hot Topics" on the View!
But we need your help! What do YOU want us to talk about?
But we need your help! What do YOU want us to talk about?
We're open to any and all suggestions! You can go deeper than the usual "how do you promote your books" (though we're happy to talk about that, too)-- you can also suggest the real nitty gritty like "what are the ethics of authors reviewing other books?" to "have you ever thought of leaving the industry?" Everything will be considered! Combined, we have over ten years of struggles, triumphs, failures and successes to talk about, as well as the issues we face everyday. So, what do you want to hear about?
Don't worry, besides our thanks, we are giving away a big thank-you gift! To a commenter (chosen at random) we'll send you a collection of our books (one from each BRG) and some delicious, homemade cookies (made by moi!)
(these aren't the actual cookies I will send you, I promise they will be fresh and extremely yummy)
All YOU have to do is leave a comment that tells us:
1. what you want us to talk about
2. your occupation/why you read our blog (teacher, author, etc)
Comment & make as many suggestions as you want.
Winner announced on Wednesday, November 10th--so get going!
Many thanks for being a Blue Rose Girl Reader, from all of us!
