Project Middle Grade Mayhem

11 Comments

There are a lot of book blogs devoted to young adult novels, but not many I’ve found that focus only on middle grade.

That why I’m so excited to share that I’ve been invited to be a part of Project Mayhem, a blog devoted to all things middle grade. The blog is headed up by NIGHTSHADE CITY author, Hilary Wagner, and includes authors Rose Cooper, Timothy Power, Dee Garreston, Jen K. Bloom, Dawn Lairamore, and Marissa Burt, as well as fellow new additions Michael Michell and Yahong Chi.

Click over to read my first post, which ran yesterday.

If you’re looking for other middle-grade blogs, try these:
MiG Writers
From the Mixed Up Files

Any other middle-grade blogs you know of?


Be sure to stop by next week when I run March’s One-Sentence Debut Reviews and enter to win Elevensie and 2k11 bookmarks.

    What a great site! As a mom to a middle schooler, I love learning about new books.

    Congrats Caroline. I agree there aren’t too many out there. But Shannon Messenger often does a marvelous middle grade Monday feature where she discusses a middle grade book and there are usually links. http://ramblingsofawannabescribe.blogspot.com/

    And there’s Middle Grade Ninja http://middlegradeninja.blogspot.com/

    Project Mayhem is fantastic!! Best of luck. I’ve focused most of my blog toward YA; however, I’m trying to spread the wealth a bit and discuss more MG, too. Even picture books seeing how I’m writing those now too. So much going on!!

    Thanks for these links. I’ll have to check them out. My current WIP is middle grade so it will be fun to follow some middle grade sites.

    Awesome! I think The Mixed Up Files blog is middle grade. It might be YA too, but I know a lot of MG authors are there.

    Wonderful! I follow Mixed Up Files but I didn’t know about the others. I will stalk those too! I agree, there is a shortage of middle-grade sites and I really love middle grade.

    I’m hoping to make my blog more middle grade heavy in the coming months…such an untapped market of readers there…people who really love reading and need good books in their hands. Congrats on your participation in MAYHEM…looking forward to checking it out!

    I’m constantly looking for MG blogs. I’m a MG writer and I love project mayhem.

    YALitChat.com also has a MG lair for all the MG writers.
