Writing Middle Grade fiction with LGBTQ-parented families

Have you seen the Project Mayhem middle grade blog? It’s devoted to crafting middle grade fiction, and it’s chock full of resources, book reviews, author interviews, craft tips, and more. I’m part of the Project Mayhem team, and I recently shared some ideas from my presentation at the New England SCBWI conference.
