Young Rider Magazine cover model search

Since so many of you expressed interest in wanting to model for Canterwood or West Coast Prep, I wanted to share a modeling opportunity with you!

YOUNG RIDER magazine is having a cover model search for an upcoming issue.

That’s right!

THE magazine for young equestrians is giving YOU a shot to possibly be on a future cover!

For all the deets, (and no, I’m not in any way affiliated with the contest!) grab this month’s issue of YR.

It would be AMAZING to have a Team Canterwood face representing! 🙂

Write Now! Getting Published as a Young Writer DVD 1 available now!

It’s here!
The first installment in WRITE NOW!, GETTING PUBLISHED AS YOUNG WRITER, digital series is ready!
Taught by Jessica Burkhart, TOP TEN MISTAKES YOUNG WRITERS MAKE, is a must watch video for any writer seeking publication. It is also a great teaching tool for classrooms and libraries.

Published at 14, Jess understands what it’s like to be a young writer. Now, at 22 years old, Jess has 20 tween novels published with Simon & Schuster. Over 500,000 copies of her Canterwood Crest series books are in print.

Jess debunks common publishing myths and highlights truths in this 31 minute long video.

Despite the title, TOP 10 is a useful guide for a writer of any age seeking publication.

Jess has visited many classrooms both in person and via Skype. She wanted to create a video for viewers to be able to pause, take notes, or refer back to.

If schools and libraries use Jess’s videos, they are able to have an author “visit” without the high costs of travel, paying the author, or dealing with any tech glitches.

Some praise for Jess’s teaching:

“Jess Burkhart’s Skype author visit was an inspiration to my Middle School Book Club students. She did an amazing job integrating her own personal life story into a motivational talk about the writing process. My students were left feeling excited about doing some writing of their own!” ~Cathie Bashaw Morton, Library Media Specialist, Millbrook Central School District, New York

“Jessica Burkhart is an excellent speaker who engages students by connecting with them through her many experiences as an author. She is engaging and inspiring while encouraging students to follow their dreams and persevere in their writing. She also shares tips on how to get their writing noticed. I highly recommend this experience for your students!” ~Abbe Waldron, Library Media Specialist, Wamogo Regional High School

If the EBT guide keeps selling a lot of copies, it will allow me the funds to take a break from traditional publishing for a bit and work only on Canterwood Crest e-novellas and West Coast Prep e-novellas. 🙂 So, please keep spreading the word about my beauty guide, reviewing it if you like, and tell your friends.
