Welcome to Novelist's Café, a cool new resource for teen writers. We cover every aspect of novel writing from query letters to plotting and beyond, Novelist's Café aims to be the number one website for young novelists. Our summer 2008 issue is now up! Read on for kickin' interviews, tips on submitting your work, and more!

Dear Readers,

Summer is one of my favorite times of year. It's the time a time to kick back and relax. But if you're one of those writers worried about procrastinating away three months worth of writing time, then read 10 Tips to Defeat Procrastination. It was written just for writers like you!  

Also in this month, two new interviews with featured teen writers Jamin Goecker and Maddee Schrader. While Jamin shares his strong work ethic, readers will benefit from Madde's helpful hints on rejection.

In addition, editor Lydia Rule gives her advice on how to S.U.B.M.I.T. Your Writing. You won't want to miss this step-by-step guide through the submission process!

Until next time,

Debra Weiss
