Captivate the hearts and minds of young adult readers!

Writing for young adult (YA) and middle grade (MG) audiences isn't just "kid's stuff" anymore--it's kidlit! The YA and MG book markets are healthier and more robust than ever, and that means the competition is fiercer, too. In Writing Irresistible Kidlit, literary agent Mary Kole shares her expertise on writing novels for young adult and middle grade readers and teaches you how to:

• Recognize the differences between middle grade and young adult audiences and how it impacts your writing.
• Tailor your manuscript's tone, length, and content to your readership.
• Avoid common mistakes and cliches that are prevalent in YA and MG fiction, in respect to characters, story ideas, plot structure and more.
• Develop themes and ideas in your novel that will strike emotional chords.

If you want the skills, techniques, and know-how you need to craft memorable stories for teens and tweens, Writing Irresistible Kidlit can give them to you.

What do spirit mediums themselves think about what they do? What do scientists and Spiritualists think about "messages from the spirit world?" We are a social scientist and a psychotherapist who have spent ten years answering these questions. Acting as mediums ourselves, we question and marvel at our own experiences. To learn more, we interviewed 40 mediums and studied the lives of 80 others. Journey with us...INTO THE MIND OF THE MEDIUM.

Cycling the End to End is so much more than just sitting on something no bigger than, and as hard as, the sole plate of an iron and pedalling, as Julia was to discover.  Every experience seemed to be about extremes: Cornish hills, Cheshire plains, busy Devon lanes, empty highland roads, downpours, droughts, smooth cycle tracks, hazardous cattle grids, psychedelic B&Bs and homely hostels.  And when the terrain and the weather weren’t against her the wildlife was: terrorising Labradors, formation herding sheep dogs, kamikaze squirrels, plagues of midges and road-senseless sheep.  Between the start of her journey and the finish, 1477 miles later, she encountered not only ups and downs of terrain but mental and physical highs and lows as well.

With no backup, and just a bike and a puncture repair kit for company, that strangest of traveller, the lone female, set off to tackle the ultimate British cycle ride.  If only she had got a pound for every time someone told her it was all downhill the other way she could have bought a lot more chocolate.  As it was, sustained by copious quantities of tea and as much chocolate as she could carry she finally reached her wet and windswept goal.

After the phenomenal success of Never Say Goodbye, Patrick Mathews became one of the most recognized mediums in the country. Forever With You invites us back for a closer look at his fascinating life as a spirit communicator and all he’s learned.

These vivid and unforgettable stories help us understand what it’s like to talk to spirits, how our loved ones have—and haven’t—changed since crossing over, and how they continue to impact our lives. Answering questions only a medium can, Mathews offers insight into life’s biggest mysteries—what happens when we pass into spirit, heaven and hell, God and angels, reincarnation, the purpose of our physical life, and more.
