Greg van Eekhout Art Quotations

Middle grade fiction, to me, is really about emergence of self. It's about expressing the idea that the world is going to start affecting you more, and your parents' influence is going to wane. Middle grade is when a lot of kids discover their passions - art, music, sports, what have you.

I think there's only one reason to write in any genre or to any particular age group: You are called to it. You think it'd be fun.
