Critique on the First Fifteen Pages of Your YA or Middle Grade Manuscript with Denise Vega #KidLitFotHaiti Auction




KID LIT FOR HAITI: Denise is giving a critique of the first fifteen pages of your middle grade of YA manuscript

Denise Vega

Denise Vega earned her undergraduate degree at UCLA and graduate degree at Harvard (I love bragging on behalf of Denise, since she never brags herself). She served as the RMC SCBWI Co-Regional Advisor for a decade where she not only organized our group of writers and illustrators (and avoided cheese at all costs), but she also taught many writing workshops.

I first purchased a Denise Vega book out of sheer love for Denise; now I purchase Denise Vega books out of sheer love for her writing! Her debut novel  CLICK HERE (To FindOut How I Survived Seventh Grade)  was a bestselling title in the Scholastic Book Club and won the Colorado book award for YA literature—but of course it did—she is a master of creating compelling characters—real and flawed people whom you want to follow—and she knows the art of creating the page turn.  Read her books! Then you’ll know a critique from Denise Vega can help your story come alive!

Grandmother,Have the Angels Come (Little Brown Books for Young Readers, 2009)
Build a Burrito A Counting Book in English and Spanish (Cartwheel Books, 2008)
Fact of Life #31 (Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008)
AccessDenied (Little Brown & Co.2010)
Rock On  (Little Brown & Co.2012)

And coming soon:
If Your Monster Won’t Go to Bed (Knopf/Random House, Spring, 2017)
And…(we’ll let you know!)
