rachelgrinti It's #mglitchat time! Tonight we're talking
about the future of middle grade fiction. -9:00 PM Nov 29th, 2012
LaurelSnyder hey! #mglitchat -9:01 PM Nov 29th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @rachelgrinti So future as in far future? How
shall we ponder? #mglitchat -9:01 PM Nov 29th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @LaurelSnyder Hey Laurel! #mglitchat -9:01 PM Nov
29th, 2012
Bec_AS Oh, shoot, the future of MG fiction-- I thought it
was futurist MG fiction! #notreally #MGLitChat -9:02 PM Nov 29th, 2012
rachelgrinti Lots of changes going on now! Pubs merging,
formats/tech changing, genre trends. I'm thinking future as next few years to
start #mglitchat -9:02 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @AnshaKotyk @rachelgrinti The immediate future
seems to be a surge in contemporary, as heard through the grapevine . . .
#mglitchat -9:02 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @Bec_AS Silly. #mglitchat -9:03 PM Nov 29th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @MLConklin Yeah I feel like contemporary is where
it's heading... but I've heard that with YA too... #mglitchat -9:03 PM Nov

michaelascotto @LaurelSnyder good to see you! #mglitchat
-9:03 PM Nov 29th, 2012
ilanawaters Woot! Hey hey, the gang's all here at #mglitchat
*looks around* Where's the rest of the gang? -9:03 PM Nov 29th, 2012
rachelgrinti Though if anyone would like to make predictions
as to state of MG several decades from now, knock yourself out ;) #mglitchat
-9:03 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @rachelgrinti I'm curious to see how e-publishing
will translate to MG. More apps? Interactive fiction? #mglitchat -9:04 PM Nov

#MGLitChat -9:04 PM Nov 29th, 2012
ilanawaters @rachelgrinti Hmmm.... *looks in crystal ball* I
see it being full of AWESOME! #mglitchat. Admittedly, that's pretty vague.
-9:04 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @AnshaKotyk There's been so much focus on para/other
worldly places, I think it's a natural swing back towards classics. #mglitchat
-9:05 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @ilanawaters Hi, trouble. We were waiting for you
to get here :) #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 29th, 2012

insights I can enjoy on the archives, 'kay? #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 29th, 2012
NatalieLorenzi @MLConklin @rachelgrinti As an elementary
school librarian, I do see apps & e-readers catching on more & more
with the MG crowd. #mglitchat -9:05 PM Nov 29th, 2012
coachhays64 @rachelgrinti There will be transporters and
phasers and tricorders and warp drives and great, imaginative middle grade
books. #mglitchat -9:06 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @rachelgrinti I expect we'll see more
illustrated/graphic novels, too, a la WONDERSTRUCK #mglitchat -9:07 PM Nov

AnshaKotyk RT @coachhays64 There will be transporters and
phasers and tricorders and warp drives and great, imaginative middle grade

MLConklin @NatalieLorenzi @rachelgrinti Are the kids reading
regular MG novels on ereaders? #mglitchat -9:07 PM Nov 29th, 2012
rachelgrinti @MLConklin I think tech will keep affecting
books. I see lots of kids who give up trying to read on ipods, back to books
for now. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 29th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @NatalieLorenzi In my personal sales I don't see
the ebook moving much at all. So I def wonder about ereaders for MG-ers.
#mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 29th, 2012
rachelgrinti @MLConklin But even then, they definitely like
the book-related apps. The Warriors one was a big hit at the book club.
#mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 29th, 2012
ilanawaters @MLConklin LOL. Lt. Trouble, reporting for duty!
*salutes* #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 29th, 2012
dianezahler Does anyone see the past in the future? I mean
-- historical novels? (Please say yes) #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 29th, 2012
kidlitnetwork I'm late but here! Dang power kept going out.
#mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 29th, 2012
NatalieLorenzi Graphic novels are huge in our elem. school
library, esp. w/reluctant readers. Books like @Mike_Jung's GG&SI are a nice
bridge. #mglitchat -9:08 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @rachelgrinti Just wait until the books are on
e-paper. If we get to see that. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 29th, 2012
jessStorkwrites @MLConklin @rachelgrinti It is interesting
to see how mglit is using the relationship to pictures like picture books are.
#mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 29th, 2012
ilanawaters @Bec_AS *blush* Well, yes. Me and my castle in
Scotland. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 29th, 2012
michaelascotto @AnshaKotyk that matches my experience too.
Maybe as price points for ereaders drop? #mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 29th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @dianezahler I'm sure if we took a look at
genre's we'd see a cycle of what is popular throughout time, everything is
cyclical. #mglitchat -9:09 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @rachelgrinti That's more my thinking. And
interactive picture books. Those are even more well suited to tablets.
#mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 29th, 2012
kidlitnetwork Yes, totally! RT @dianezahler: Does anyone see
the past in the future? I mean -- historical novels? (Please say yes)

AnshaKotyk @michaelascotto Lord knows my 4 yr old and his
iPad are forever inseparable. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 29th, 2012
rachelgrinti @dianezahler Some historical series big right
now, Dear America, etc. Diary format has been a big draw. Maybe will lead to more?
#mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 29th, 2012
PBWorkshop @dianezahler Gotta vote yes 'cause that's what
I'm working on now- wishful thinking? Let's hope not. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov

MLConklin @NatalieLorenzi You are the total insider scoop!
Lovely to meet you :) #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 29th, 2012

@rachelgrinti There will be transporters and phasers and tricorders and warp
drives. #mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 29th, 2012
coachhays64 @MLConklin @AnshaKotyk Yes. More of the classic
middle grade story, mixed with a plentiful amount of fantasty/adventure.
#mglitchat -9:10 PM Nov 29th, 2012
rachelgrinti @jessStorkwrites @MLConklin I love pictures, so
I won't complain there! #mglitchat -9:11 PM Nov 29th, 2012
NatalieLorenzi @dianezahler Diane, with the Common Core
Standards, I absolutely see HF novels for the MG audience on shelves.
:-)#mglitchat -9:11 PM Nov 29th, 2012
jessStorkwrites @AnshaKotyk @dianezahler I agree. Fantasy
was really big the last couple of years, and now contemporary seems to be
amping up. #mglitchat -9:11 PM Nov 29th, 2012
dianezahler @NatalieLorenzi At last! A reason to like the
Common Core! #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 29th, 2012
PippaBayliss I'm guessing the changes won't be in the
writing or genres so much as all the add-ons: interactive opps & apps,
visuals, audio #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 29th, 2012
MLConklin @kidlitnetwork @dianezahler Yes, it all comes in
cycles! Historical is another way to do "strange new place," it's
picking up. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 29th, 2012
KKittscher @MLConklin @rachelgrinti And as tablet/ereader
prices come down, more parents will buy them for kids w/o worrying about loss,
etc #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 29th, 2012
ilanawaters I'm hoping there'll be more genre-blending.
Cowboys in space (like Firefly), comtep. fey-were-vamp-mermaids mystery
romance. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 29th, 2012
kidlitnetwork @coachhays64 @MLConklin @AnshaKotyk Like
Lauren Oliver's Spindlers? Which I haven't read but just got from the library
yesterday. #mglitchat -9:12 PM Nov 29th, 2012
dianezahler You've all made me very happy. Here's hoping
you're right! #mglitchat -9:13 PM Nov 29th, 2012
nardinisisters @MLConklin We sell more ebooks over
paperbacks for our mg novel. #mglitchat -9:13 PM Nov 29th, 2012
AnshaKotyk @ilanawaters oooh, I like the genre mashups!!
#mglitchat -9:13 PM Nov 29th, 2012

seeing this. And kids able to save up and buy for themselves, too. #mglitchat

Bec_AS @NatalieLorenzi @dianezahler First I thought you
meant High Fantasy, then I rememberd Diane asked about Historical Fiction-
oops! #MGLitChat -9:13 PM Nov 29th, 2012

NatalieLorenzi @michaelascotto @AnshaKotyk As a school
librarian, I know kids read on their parents' e-readers. BYOD is coming to

#MGLitChat -9:15 PM Nov 29th, 2012
NatalieLorenzi @PippaBayliss For our school's reluctant readers,
ebooks with their built-in dictionaries are a huge help, as well as audio
books.#mglitchat -9:15 PM Nov 29th, 2012
dianezahler @jessStorkwrites I'm doing Common Core
correlations for some publishers' catalogs. It'll affect what schools/libraries
order. #mglitchat -9:15 PM Nov 29th, 2012
rachelgrinti @NatalieLorenzi @PippaBayliss And using
tablets/ereaders to pair a book with audiobook helps too. Opens up a lot of
options. #mglitchat -9:16 PM Nov 29th, 2012

the price of ebooks can't be beat. #mglitchat -9:18 PM Nov 29th, 2012

@rachelnseigel @KKittscher What would count as tween? #mglitchat -9:32 PM Nov
29th, 2012
KKittscher @jessStorkwrites @rachelnseigel In Germany they
split it 8-10, 10-12(which I think of as tween). That makes sense to me.

But how will the kids become better readers if they don't challenge themselves
