I looked up Tamora Pierce on amazon.com-- she's a fantasy/action YA writer--to see what her author creds are. Here's an excerpt:<br /><br />"A self-proclaimed 'geek,' she devoured fantasy and science fiction novels, and by the age of 12 was mimicking her literary idols and writing her own action-packed stories. It was thanks to her father that Tamora began writing. 'He heard me telling myself stories as I did dishes, and he suggested that I try to write some of them down,' Pierce says."<br /><br />I think this is a nice example of one way you could go-- in this case, the interest BECOMES the credential. I know you think that's not enough, but I think it works. <br /><br />Just a thought :)Alexa Jacksonhttp://www.looseleafediting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533366308514711711.post-59123688368246930842010-03-25T02:15:59.448-04:002010-03-25T02:15:59.448-04:00Who do you know connected with theater who could g...Who do you know connected with theater who could give you a back-cover blurb about how authentic you sound?
