ABOUT THE ONDEMAND WEBINAR

It's more exciting than ever to write books for the Young Adult (YA) age group. After the popularity of Harry Potter and Twilight, the YA market rapidly expanded and people thought anything was possible in YA. Today, the market has changed: it's more saturated, but the possibilities are still endless. There are, however, key differences in what makes a novel successful in today's market.

Seven years ago while assisting a literary agent, Suzie Townsend sold her first project at auction less than three months after finding it in the query pile. It was a Young Adult paranormal romance. Since then she has represented dozens of YA authors publishing commercial and literary works of all subgenres. She's sold YA novels to all the major publishers and many have gone on to become bestselling and award winning novels. She shares with you what you need to do in order to write and pitch a Young Adult novel for today's market.

INSTRUCTOR:

Prior to joining New Leaf, Suzie Townsend graduated film school, earned her Masters of Education, taught high school English, and coached a swim team. In her spare time, she read everything she could, which prompted her move to publishing. As a literary agent, she represents all brands of children's and adult fiction. She loves women's fiction, all subgenres of romance, crime fiction, Young Adult and Middle Grade. Suzie loves strong characters and voice-driven stories that break out of the typical tropes of their genres, and she's always looking for unique new voices in stories.

Not Quite So Durable...
Color: B) Medium 3" Ball, Color: B) Medium 3" Ball
Maybe I have a SUPER aggressive chewer...he went through this ball in under a week. I originally bought the ball because of a review that stated the owner's Pitbull had the same ball for two years; not so much for my Rottweiler. He started chewing off and swallowing small crumbs from the ball within a day or two. By the end of the week, it was chunks so I had to toss it in the trash to prevent an intestinal obstruction. On the up side, my Rottweiler LOVED the ball while it lasted. However, I can't, in good conscience, give this ball a rave review based on this experience. Please take this review with a grain of salt as I have yet to find ANY toy that my boy won't DESTROY in a week or two. I hope that someone finds this informative when searching for chew toys for SUPER aggressive chewers like mine.

The perfect toy for dogs!
Style: The Duo
This is perfect when you have 2 dogs who love to play Fetch! They no longer have to chase after the same ball! The balls that come with it are very sturdy, and the launcher sends both balls far enough away so that both dogs get plenty of exercise. It’s definitely worth the price!

PERFECT RETRIEVING TOY
Style: EcoFetch
You can barely whip it and it sails far and fast. This is the perfect retrieving toy for my GSP. She's used to average and we now have a small yard, so the dog park is where she gets to run hard and fast. You can also throw tennis balls with it, which is a plus for when her sister steals her ball. 5 star fun!
