Happy Anniversary to the Mixed-Up Files of Middle Grade Authors blog. Can you believe it’s been 8 years already? To celebrate our anniversary, we gave ourselves a rockin’ new face lift! Did you notice?
We have brought this blog firmly into the 21st century with our updated and dynamic new home page. All of your favorite topics are right at your fingertips. Each post has been placed into a specific category so if you need to look for one, you can just click on the drop down tab and go. Of course, we still have our search the blog option available, but using categories should make things a whole lot easier.
Take a moment and look around. Scroll up and down. See how things zoom across the page at you? Did our smiling faces across the bottom make you want to smile back? Great! That was our goal.
After all, we want this blog to be a great place for you to visit when you need the latest information on all things Middle Grade KidLit. But don’t worry, our face lift is not just cosmetic, we have some changes in store for you as well. We have already brought you STEM Tuesday, but now we will be bringing in two new features in the next few months:
Agent & Editor Spotlight and Teacher Tips Thursday
