Good books on writing
Send us your suggested titles!
Over time we've compiled a list of suggested resources we share with writers and writing contest participants. We count these books as main resources in our �how to write� library.

2008.06.12
Sandy Ferguson Fuller has returned to full-time work as agent, author/illustrator, and consultant. She's already listed with SCBWI for her critique services. Alp Arts Co. will entertain any critique project, however they specialize in picture books.

CCF Writers' Group Guidelines
New members welcomed!
There are as many ways to run a critique group as there are members who participate in them. These are guidelines used in the Critique/Writers groups CCF sponsors.

Rules of Engagement
Nov 1, 2005
Cheryl Klein's "Rules of Engagment" eBookAt the RMC-SCBWI 2005 Fall Conference one of the speakers was Cheryl Klein, Editor at Arthur A. Levine Books, an imprint of Scholastic. Klein's talk on The Rules of Engagement: How to Get (and Keep!) A Reader Involved in Your Novel is a rare opportunity to understand, from an editor's point of view, what it is that makes a manuscript work and what keeps it from working.
