\nThe first thing you see on Shannon Lee Alexander’s website is her banner: Writer of stories with heart, humor, and hope. Always hope. <\/i>Today we welcome Shannon Lee Alexander, author of LIFE AFTER JULIET, as she shares her success story and why it was based on the hope she found thanks to a great group of cannibalistic writers!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n“If you\u2019re a writer who feels like you have hit a writing plateau…Find a tough-love writing group. Gold stars and compliments feel good, but they don\u2019t improve our writing…Then…tear those characters\u2019 lives apart so you can put them back together in the greatest story ever written!”<\/h3>\n

\nThank you, Adventures in YA Publishing, for inviting me to hang out here on the blog today! <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019ve been a voracious reader my whole life. One of my earliest memories is of learning to read. I remember it was an early morning, and I\u2019d snuck into my parents\u2019 bathroom with Dr. Seuss\u2019s ABC book. I sat on the edge of the tub in the morning light and tried to read the book by myself. I wanted to surprise my parents when they woke by reading to them. There were some pretty tricky words in there that had me flustered as I tried to sound them out. But as my parents snored softly in the next room, I was blinking back tears because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn\u2019t figure out the words on the letter Q page (stupid letter Q<\/i>)! I forced myself to take a deep breath and refocus. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n“And then, BAM! It was like a light was turned on. I could read.”<\/h3>\n

\nOkay, so perhaps it was my father turning on the bathroom light. And maybe he helped me sound out the words that were tripping me up, but the pride I felt as I read along with him is something I\u2019ve never forgotten. And the worlds that reading opened up for me, the places I could go from the comfort of my own bedroom, kept me coming back for more. <\/p>\n

\nThat morning I became a reader. I devoured every book I could get my hands on. Reading was my thing. Making the transition from reader to professional writer over the past few years has been somewhat difficult. The number one tool that has made the biggest impact on my writing, that which I credit for turning me from a reader who sometimes wrote stuff into an \u201cauthor,\u201d is my writing group.<\/p>\n

\n“The number one tool that has made the biggest impact on my writing…is my writing group.”<\/h3>\n
\n<\/div>\n

When I moved to Indiana, I knew no one outside my husband and two kids. No one. That loneliness spurred me to start making some connections. I reached out to the Indiana chapter of the Society of Children\u2019s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), an international group with local chapters across the globe, asking if any writing groups might have an opening for a newbie writer.<\/p>\n

\nAt the time, I had a draft of what is now Love and Other Unknown Variables (LAOUV) completed and one shiny rejection from an agent. That was the sum total of my writing experience. Until meeting my writing group, I\u2019d never had writer friends. Thankfully, a group in Indianapolis took me in. Shortly thereafter, we named ourselves the YA Cannibals and gave ourselves our motto: We Eat Our Own.<\/p>\n

\n“We named ourselves the YA Cannibals and gave ourselves our motto: We Eat Our Own”<\/h3>\n

\nThe Cannibals are tough critics. They never avoid telling me the sometimes harsh truths about my stories. However, they are all invested in my stories, the characters, and most importantly, me. Over the past five years, we\u2019ve become very close, even through shake-ups and mix-ups. We\u2019re a writing family that pushes each other to be our best. I\u2019d rather have a fellow YA Cannibal make my story bleed than see it rejected over and again by editors. An knowing that the Cannibals are working over my stories, leaves me with more confidence that by the time I\u2019m ready to submit, I know my story is as tight and strong as I can make it.<\/p>\n

\nThat draft of LAOUV I submitted when I joined the Cannibals was almost completely rewritten due to their advice and help (I think only one scene survived unscathed). The cannibalized version of LAOUV caught the attention of some literary agents, helping me find my agent match in Jessica Sinsheimer of the Sarah Jane Freymann Literary Agency.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

\n“The cannibalized version of LAOUV is what sold to Entangled Teen two weeks into the submission process. And that cannibalized version is what is now sitting on bookshelves in stores across the globe…But it wouldn\u2019t have gone anywhere if I\u2019d continued to work in a vacuum.” <\/h3>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nIt\u2019s mind blowing, really, to think of all the places my story has traveled, places I\u2019ll probably never see in my lifetime! But it wouldn\u2019t have gone anywhere if I\u2019d continued to work in a vacuum. My story needed the love and care (and utter destruction) that came from other writers reading and critiquing it (numerous times).<\/p>\n

\nI believe the YA Cannibals have helped me grow as a writer. I\u2019m a better critical reader and thinker from the years of reading their stories and offering my own advice, too. And I am more aware of my own common writing pitfalls. Often when writing, I can hear their voices in my head complaining as I let my characters \u201csit and think\u201d too much. When I let my sense of humor get too crazy and hyperbolic, I can see them pulling on invisible reins, reminding me that less is more. And when I slip into purple prose, stinking up my story with cheap, dime store perfume, I envision a whole chorus of eye rolls.<\/p>\n

\n“Knowing my weaknesses allows me to avoid them.”<\/h3>\n

\nKnowing my weaknesses allows me to avoid them (or at least, has taught me to carry a ladder with me for when I fall face first into my personal writing pitfalls, so I can climb back out). If you\u2019re a writer who feels like you may have hit a writing plateau, my advice is to find a tough-love writing group. Gold stars and compliments feel good, but they don\u2019t improve our writing. Find writers who will love your characters as much as you. Then, together, tear those characters\u2019 lives apart so you can put them back together in the greatest story ever written!<\/p>\n

\nABOUT THE BOOK<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nLife After Juliet<\/b>
\n<\/a>by Shannon Lee Alexander<\/b>
\nHardcover<\/i>
\nEntangled Teen<\/i>
\nReleased 7\/5\/2016<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

Becca Hanson was never able to make sense of the real world. When her best friend Charlotte died, she gave up on it altogether. Fortunately, Becca can count on her books to escape\u2014to other times, other places, other people… <\/p>\n

Until she meets Max Herrera. He\u2019s experienced loss, too, and his gorgeous, dark eyes see Becca the way no one else in school can.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, kissing is a lot better in real life than on a page. But love and life are a lot more complicated in the real world…and happy endings aren’t always guaranteed.<\/p>\n

The companion novel to Love and Other Unknown Variables is an exploration of loss and regret, of kissing and love, and most importantly, a celebration of hope and discovering a life worth living again.<\/p>\n
