How to Start And Run a Writers' Critique Group
(Are you getting rejection slips and you don't know why? Y...)
Are you getting rejection slips and you don't know why? You need a writers' critique group. A writers' critique group multiplies the success of beginning, intermediate, and expert writers by providing them the non-judgmental support system they need to grow and hone their craft. Writers in a critique group share their knowledge to help each other refine the subleties of plot, characterization, and dialogue, cut dead wood, and punch up slow beginnings, sagging middles, and weak endings. They help cut dead wood, refine nonfiction book structure, and improve article leads and closes. The interaction of talented minds is sure to jumpstart imaginations, to everyone s benefit. In How to Start and Run a Writers Critique Group, author Carol J. Amato shows readers how to: - find original members - organize the critique group - establish critique group rules - critique manuscripts - deal with difficult people - grow into a formal club - sponsor conferences and contests - host author publication parties

The Lost Treasure of the Golden Sun (The Phantom Hunters!)
(Although 12-year-old Anny and Scout Bradford are identica...)
Although 12-year-old Anny and Scout Bradford are identical twins, the resemblance ends with their blond hair and blue eyes. Scout is outdoorsy, good at all things athletic, and a dedicated Girl Scout. Anny is different, very different. She sees things that other people don't. Most grownups thing she's crazy or lying--even her own family. Everyone, including Anny, wonders what's wrong with her. When Anny sees a startling vision of a warrior on a trip to the Navajo Nation, once again, no one believes her--no one except her close friend, Eric Larson. He knows what it's like to be misunderstood--he's deaf. Anny senses her vision has something to do with lost treasure, an unexplained fire, and two visiting archaeologists. She and Eric set out to convince Scout and their friend, Ben Lapahie, that the mysterious warrior is real. But is he good or evil? Is he leading them to the answers to the location of the treasure and who set the fire or to an untimely end?
