many matters that are not often presented in guides to writing and
publishing, such as the importance of mentors and critique groups,
as well as courses and extracurricular activities that can be of
great help to the up-and-coming teen author. The book explores
various writing careers and the basics of publishing and marketing,
including how to write query letters. Schwartz also provides tips
on writing both fiction and nonfiction, as well as genres a new
author can explore, like poetry and songwriting. With this
resource, teens will find all the information they need to develop
writing skills and build confidence as a writer.
