    Back from Hiatus

    November 9, 2020 /

    Hi, everyone! Been a while, huh? Anywho, since I’m 4 months out from the release of my debut novel (can you hear me screaming in excitement?), I figured I’d revive this blog! Posts will be infrequent, but I’ll do my best. 😀 Let’s talk covers! I’m getting a lot of awesome feedback on my cover– understandably, it’s absolutely gorgeous!! I was incredibly lucky to have a huge part in the cover creation process. It went a little something like this. First, I sent my publisher a Pinterest board of my favorite middle grade covers. I aimed for ones that were hand-drawn, with bold colors and an adventurous-looking main character. I…

    Hey, folks!  Next week, I’ll be starting a series about querying authors and what their personal experiences have been.  But today, I want to talk about the realities of getting an agent. And more specifically, do you actually want one?

    DFWCon: Young Adult Panel

    July 15, 2016 /

    Aaand we’re back!  Sorry, guys, but I updated too frequently with those DFWCon posts.  It drove me a little crazy.  But the last few weeks have been a good break, so now I’m ready to wrap up what I learned back in April. The YA panel was probably my favorite one, with the exception of Diversity in Writing.  Five lovely YA authors spent the whole hour talking about how they were published, and answering questions for us hopefuls.

    Importance of Writing Buddies

    June 10, 2016 /

    Where in the world is Becki? Well, all over, considering that’s my job.  But I sincerely apologize for missing so many updates.  I thought a lot about it, and I think two times a week was a reach, and not feasible for my lifestyle in the long run.  I’ve since decided that FRIDAYS will be the new update for Novelarnia! Now, on with the topic.  I still have a few DFWCon posts left, but I’m going to take a break to talk about what’s been occupying my time the last few weeks. A new book!!

    Review of #PitMatch

    February 12, 2016 /

    So, after participating in #Pit2Pub (see my review on that Twitter event here), I realized there were lots of Twitter events to promote your novel!  So many, in fact, that I had to set automatic tweets just to keep up over the next few months. Which means I totally forgot #PitMatch was happening until it was almost over.  Oops.
