Interview w/ RMFW's Mark Stevens
Interview w/ MG Ninja
If you've always wanted to write a MG or YA mystery, I wrote this book for you!
This book teaches you how to:
Develop a concept (or: how to pick the crime).
Introduce the suspects, and how to plant clues so they're not too obvious.
Create depth with theme and character arcs.
Build an outline using sequences.
Find time to write and how to revise your first draft.
Look for publication once your manuscript is finished.
Get a Clue: How to Plot, Write, and Sell Your MG or YA Mystery is the just-the-facts handbook to write your mystery for MG or YA.
