But there are so many out there it is very hard to choose! I will definitely be following your series and I will go check out Figment since I do write YA (even though I can (luckily? Unluckily?) say I'm not under 20).Katharina Brendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01982524502377987393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493497810399763130.post-14484739167817161502012-04-20T17:17:38.119-04:002012-04-20T17:17:38.119-04:00I'm not a YA author or reader (or under 20) bu...I'm not a YA author or reader (or under 20) but this was helpful -- looking forward to reading the rest of the series!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493497810399763130.post-46187431987801631252012-04-20T08:49:34.547-04:002012-04-20T08:49:34.547-04:00Great post, Melanie!

If it generated enough interest, Harper would give a free critique of the work. Unfortunately, the site dwindle in the last few years after authors felt it worked more like a popularity contest rather than a showcase of good work. Hence, Figment! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
