Lisa Albert

The Darer: After many years of mud pies, skinned knees, sibling rivalry, crushes, boyfriends and heartbreaks, List got serious and penned her first novel when she was sixteen. She joined the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators in 1996 and sold her first article in 1998. She’s been a contributing author to the Children’s Writers and Illustrator’s Market (CWIM) and has written three nonfiction books for Enslow Publishing. Lois Lowry: The Giver of Stories & Memories (2007) , So You Want to Be a Film or TV Actor? (2008), and Stephenie Meyer: Author of the Twilight Saga (2009).

“Lisa’s books are heavily lauded and she’s not only a fabulous writer, but she’s got the personality to go with.  I’ve known Lisa for years now, and I have no doubt that she will take great care when evaluating your manuscript to make sure you’re headed in the “write” direction. She also has loads of tips on how to write biographies of living people. It’s an ART!” – Cynthea Liu

About Stephenie Meyer: Author of the Twilight Saga:

“If there was ever any doubt that an entire book could be written about Stephenie Meyer’s rise to success, let it be forever put to rest. Lisa Rondinelli Albert’s biography of Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series and The Host, is a fluid and comprehensive presentation of that very story.

Stephenie Meyer: Author of the Twilight Saga is part of Enslow Publishers‘ Authors Teens Love series (within which Albert has also penned a biography of Lois Lowry, and others have written about anyone from Roald Dahl to Isaac Asimov).

The book is thorough, well-paced, and unendingly interesting…” – Examiner.com

Kelly Milner Halls

The Darer: Kelly Milner Halls is a quirky nonfiction author and speaker, specializing in “weird” (but cool) books for young readers including Tales of the Cryptids, Albino Animals and her upcoming release, Saving the Baghdad Zoo.  From Bigfoot to albinism to dinosaur poop, she offers reluctant readers a pathway to literacy in a most unusual way.  Halls studied journalism before she dedicated herself to writing for kids, so as odd as her topics may be, they are rooted in top notch research.  She makes her home in Spokane, Washington, where she also works as Chris Crutcher’s zany assistant.

“Kelly is an extremely well-know author in our children’s nonfiction market. Her books have won a zillion awards (see that fancy symbol on her book?), and you would be completely remiss if you did not bid on her critique. GO. BID. Now!” – Cynthea Liu
