I signed up for 12x12 and Start the Year off Write. I've seen some great resources flying across the Facebook book groups. Here's a few of them: A relatively new website that has a massive inventory of children's publishing topics. It's like a Costco for writers: http://www.kidlit411.com Katie Davis (see video link above) has a YouTube channel with videos on various topics of kid lit, especially how to market yourself and build your *buzzword* platform: http://www.youtube.com/user/BrainBurpsAboutBooks And finally, if you're meter challenged like me, here's Rhyme Weaver's link, a nuts and bolts resource for writing in verse: http://www.writingrhymeandmeter.com. Have a fantastic weekend!
In case your weekend plans don't include much time for writing, here's a few links to help assuage any writer's guilt: Folio Lit Co-founder, Scott Hoffman, and NYT best selling author, Brendon Burchard, have a 50-minute video (it's worth every minute) for writers on how to develop a platform.
They discuss working with agents, self-publishing, traditional publishing and solid tips on how to write and market yourself. See here: http://www.foliolit.com/nytimesbestseller/
