DRAW reviewed on Voracious YAppetite

And a very nice, very detailed, very thoughtful one at that: http://www.rebloco.com/2010/09/02/review-draw-the-dark-by-ilsa-j-bick/comment-page-1/#comment-14913

Writers of the Future Video

PW mentioned today that L. Ron Hubbard’s Writers of the Future contest celebrated its 26th year on August 28.  That’s a contest whose second quarter I was fortunate enough to win in 2000, and this video features many talented writers.   What everyone says here is right on, and two of my mentors, Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch, are also featured.  (Me, I pop up around a minute and twenty into the thing, which is kind of cool–but pay attention to the big guns.)

Enjoy!

SWEET goes to Carolrhoda

As announced on PM, my latest YA contemporary goes to Carolrhoda Lab and my fantabulous editor, Andrew Karre:

Author of DRAW THE DARK Ilsa Bick’s SWEET, the story of a girl who is sweet sixteen, a straight-A sophomore… and a killer, again to Andrew Karre at Carolrhoda Lab, by Jennifer Laughran at Andrea Brown Literary Agency.

I don’t know yet when this will come out–perhaps in spring, 2012–but I am stoked!

Now, back to work . . .
