b'
Marissa chats with Arn\\xe9e Flores about her debut middle grade fantasy - THE FIREBIRD SONG - as well as the importance of preparing for and practicing your elevator pitch; how to handle it when an agent or editor asks you to drastically trim your manuscript's word count - and one idea for what to do with all the content that gets taken out; how focusing on dramatic chapter endings can improve the overall pacing of your novel; and adapting your writing schedule to life with young kids. (Speaking of young kids, there is also a surprise visit from Sloane and Delaney and a butterfly!)
