I’m over at Go Teen Writers this week talking about 5 Tips for Writing a Sequel. #giveaway! There is a signed and glittered copy of Cinderella’s Shoes up for grabs.

Go Teen Writers is a great community of aspiring writers (teens and those of us a little older!). You can find all sorts of writing advice and get support from other writers. Check them out!
