Win a 30-min AMA with Middle Grade Author Kelly Jones!

Always wanted to ask a writer something? Have questions for a traditionally published author of middle grade books? Bid now, and let's schedule a 30-minute video (or audio) conversation* to talk about anything from writing and revising your work, to what happens after you send those queries, to how to handle your career post-publication (from the writer's side). I'm happy to talk with writers of any age or experience who've got questions about working as a writer.

*Can substitute up to three detailed email responses in place of the video chat if that works better for you and your questions.

Perfect for:
- Beginning writers who want to know more about their next steps or what being a writer is like
- Experienced/pro writers with questions that go beyond the basics (or who want a second opinion on something)
- Friends/family of writers of any age who want to give a thoughtful and supportive gift (I can send you a "gift card" to print for this, and I'm happy to talk with young writers)
- Teachers and librarians who'd like to share a special experience with a class or book group (I'm happy to modify this to be a presentation for a group of kids or adults, and you can schedule it during a future school year if that works better.)

Kelly Jones is the author of 5 novels for kids and teens that were published by Knopf Books for Young Readers and various international publishers, including Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer. She's been a writing mentor and presenter through SCBWI Western Washington, and has presented in person and virtually to schools and libraries around the country.
