Having once been a teacher, I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact reading has on teens. Books rule!

Jen Rofe
The Prize: One critique of the first five-pages of your double-spaced manuscript for any fiction chapter book or middle grade novel.
The Darer: Jennifer handles children’s fiction projects only, from picture books through young adult, and is particularly interested in literary, multicultural, offbeat, paranormal, and commercial-with-heart material. She enjoys magical-realism and reality-based fantasy; ghost stories (though not gore); stubborn characters who learn lessons the hard way; and unassuming heroes and underdogs.
The Dare: Place a minimum bid of $35 by leaving a comment, then outbid the highest bidder until you win! *All winners must take the solemn critiquee oath.*
