Welcome to #MGlitchat!

We are excited to have a place just for middle-grade!

Though the bulk of the fun will be on Twitter, we have created this blog as our repository of information about #MGlitchat.  Here you can find out the deets about #MGlitchat, read up on twittiquette for chat sessions, check out upcoming chat topics, and scroll through transcripts if available.  If you have suggestions for future topics, feel free to share them with us in the comments below.

Come join us weekly on Twitter to talk about middle-grade books and writing.  We'll see you there!

  3. So bummed, but I have guests over tonight during MGlitchat! Well, I am happy to hang out with my friends, but...you know what I mean. Sorry to miss it. I plan to come check out the tweets after hours, though. Looking forward to the discussion.

  4. Jonathan Arnston and I will be blogging over the next two weeks about the presence of same-sex parents in children's literature. I know you guys have your topics selected for the next couple of months, but just wanted to suggest it for a future topic. Thanks!

  8. I was looking for another way to contact y'all, but couldn't find one. Just wanted to let you know about the MG pitch contest we're hosting at YAtopia with Holiday House editor Sylvie Frank: http://yatopia.blogspot.com/2012/07/sylvie-frank-interview-and-contest.html

  9. Gee, I thought I was supposed to be the newest moderator, but my name ain't up there. Anyway, I'd love to moderate the May 9 session.

  10. Given I often do my own drawings, how about a session on illustrations in MG?
