Here's the titles for this month's book report at our Houston SCBWI meeting. If you live in the Houston area and are a writer, hopefully one of your New Year's resolutions is to make it to some of our meetings this year. The meetings are so encouraging and informative - and full of lovely people! I'm really looking forward to next month's meeting - Vonna Carter will be discussing the "Blue Boards" or SCBWI discussion boards. I've always been a bit intimidated by discussion boards, so I'm looking forward to learning more about how they work.
This month, I decided to focus on a genre that sees a lot of traffic in the school libraries, but I don't hear it talked about much in writers' discussions. It's the sports genre. There are some great titles out there for boys and girls of all ages. Check them out!
