Really great to read about Danielle's unconventional path to publication, and get up to speed with how things are changing. I love her description of hope as a defining characteristic of MG fiction, and I shall be using that in future! Forever Birchwood looks great, btw!
“… however you do need someone to read, someone who is not your friend, someone who will put red lines across it and want to see the story shine. An expert. Choose this person carefully.”
It had better not be a friend because you won’t be friends once they’re finished with the red pencil.
