Paula Chase Hyman commented on the blog post 'Is this Colonial Williamsburg? The National Book Award LESS diverse than PW List? I am going to go churn butter now.'
"I like the idea of an award or some sort of recognition vehicle. That's how The Brown Bookshelf came about - tired of the lack of diversity in featured books we started out own. Sometimes niche awards/recognition vehicles are the best way to…"
Paula Chase Hyman replied to the discussion 'Structure Maps' in the group Children's Writers
"*mwah* Thanks so much for this Susan.
I started plotting my latest WIP a few days ago and am treading very carefully. It's so foreign to me because I'm so used to pantsing my way through it. Believe it or not, I never plotted one of the…"

Paula Chase Hyman commented on the blog post 'Lady Writers...Are we going to have dessert or disaster'
"I think these are the sort of things writers must remind themselves all the time. So many of us think the "hardest" part is this one single thing. When many times simply being a writer, having all those voices in your head, pining for…"

Paula Chase Hyman replied to the discussion 'Do you write to more than one age group?' in the group Children's Writers
"Many children's authors write for different age groups. I don't, but many of my writer friends do. So, I agree, don't give up on anything that's inspired you enough to complete the story. When you reach the point where…"
Paula Chase Hyman commented on the blog post 'COVER GIRL'
"Oops forgot to mention that the change to the covers came with the third book. The first two books in the series remains graphic covers."
Paula Chase Hyman commented on the blog post 'COVER GIRL'
"I remember how excited I was to talk cover with my editor. I had a million ideas in my head and she was sweet enough to let me share them. And my first cover conveyed all that random spittle I spewed. I adored my first two covers, above all they…"
Paula Chase Hyman replied to the discussion 'Suggestions' in the group Children's Writers
"The topic of structure maps interests me. I've always been a pantser (flying by the seat of my pants) when I write. And it's always worked for me...until, now. I'm a character drivern writer and my plots fall into place around them.…"
Paula Chase Hyman commented on the group 'Washington DC'
"I think I prefer writing fiction, but fiction is so hard to sell.
Margaret, do you think fiction is harder to sell, in general, or because of economic times etc? Because I think fiction, especially children's fiction, is going through a nice…"

- Hi Paula,
I am a fellow children's book author and am new to the site. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I look forward to getting to know the members of the board. I am also a prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes in New York City and I received a terrific review that all parents should read and was hoping you would join me in a Twitter and Facebook campaign. Here is the link if you are interested. http://superfunmama.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-body-belongs-to-me-talking-with.html
All the best,

I witnessed the sun rise over Harlem. Harlem NYC.How different it is to wake up here than in Raleigh. No birds singing. No birds in sight. No grass, few trees. No greenery to be seen. But I have found a LOVE for it. I walked down Lenox Avenue, 125th…See More
