Why
are we doing this? The answer is simple. It is for YOU – the writers,
librarians, teachers, and lovers of books -- especially books for young
readers. The GROG is fueled by writers who collaborate to bring you
information and resources which will enable you to maneuver the “writing
world.” Our GROG will help you grow and become a better writer. We
are sharing with you what we are learning, and we are learning from some
of the best – Tara Lazar, Kristen McGill Fulton, Dianna Aston, Nancy I.
Sanders, and others.
