As I mentioned, I have been invited to speak at the BYU Writing for Young Readers conference. I’ve been thinking about what I’d like to talk about, because they need the title of my talk soon, and I’ve been inspired by my friend to tackle an age-old question: will writing to the market give you a better chance to get published?
I think this is a complicated question in children’s literature, because there are competing interests that must be considered.
But it’s an interesting topic to me, certainly.
What do you all think? If you were attending a conference to hear me talk, would this be of interest to you? Any suggestions on a snappier way of phrasing the title? (That particular phrasing was right off the top of my head–I know, it’s SO clever!)
