From Andrea Brown Literary Agency:

Jennifer began her career in agenting after working as a long-time children's bookseller and buyer. She is also the founder of the extremely popular YA event series "Not Your Mother's Book Club". She joined Andrea Brown Literary Agency in 2007. Always on the lookout for sparkling YA and middle grade fiction with unusual and unforgettable characters and vivid settings, she is drawn to all kinds of books, whether realistic comedies or richly imagined magical adventures. However, the common thread in her favorite stories is an offbeat world-view. Jennifer adores simplicity, but she is not interested in the conventional, predictable, mechanical, gimmicky or ordinary. Jennifer loves funny books, thrilling books, romantic books, books that make her cry, and all-around un-put-downable books... and her true favorites are all of the above. 

SO um have you bid yet? Cause I'm about to....

The sweet and so talented Natalie Whipple is offering an amazing package for today's auctions!

from Natalie:

A detailed read of your completed manuscript, catering to what you desire from the critique. Since I write YA, my feedback will likely be most helpful to a YA writer, but I am willing to look at anything in any genre.

PLUS

A drawing of your choice, be it a character from your novel, etc. I work in anime style, so your picture will be cartoony. Just so you know:)

From Natalie's blog: Between Fact and Fiction

I'm a YA writer repped by Anna Webman of Curtis Brown, LTD.When I'm not writing I spend most of my time keeping my two little ninjas out of trouble, which is as hard as it sounds. Ninjas love trouble. I also cook, draw, and watch more anime than I should.

If you just have to stalk me, I'm also on Twitter. I may or may not stalk you back. If you want to see more of my drawings, I'm also at deviantART
