So, you want to write a middle-grade novel... maybe you have an idea that just won't let you be. Or maybe you've spent years writing picture books, and you'd like to try something different.

But when you sit down in front of your computer… well, you don't quite know how to start. 

That's why, in this episode, we're taking a deep dive into how reading like a writer will help you:

• learn about middle-grade guidelines
• understand why something isn't working in your own book
• increase your chances of being published
• create a protagonist kids can relate to
• grow as a writer
• remember what it felt like to be a child
