Reviews for KING OF THE SCREWUPS
"Going's latest is full of comic moments featuring "Aunt" Pete's glam-rock band buddies and Liam's relentless blunders, as well as his uncommon fashion expertise ("You're like a fashion Einstein," gushes one of Pete's friends). Readers—screwups or not—will empathize as Liam, utterly likable despite his faults, learns to be himself."�Publishers Weekly, starred review
Liam is a multifaceted and resilient character who ultimately learns how to be comfortable in his own skin with the help of his new, makeshift family. Going’s knack for defying stereotypes and creating memorable characters will not disappoint fans of Fat Kid Rules the World (Putnam, 2003) and Saint Iggy (Harcourt, 2006).--School Library Journal, starred review
Writing and Selling the Young Adult Novel -- This book takes readers through every stage of writing for the YA market. Aspiring writers and established authors hoping to move into this flourishing genre alike will find instruction on writing for this special audience as well as tips on getting published. The book covers everything from plot, setting, characters and dialogue to revision and approaching publishers.

I love gift boxes and lovely wrappings. When I was younger I was the designated family gift-wrapper. I suspect that it was more because the rest were far too lazy to do it than any particularly excellent skills on my part, but I loved the whole wrapping process ... Apparently I also drove the family nuts as I would also takes AGES to unwrap my own gifts. Didn't want to spoil the gorgeous papers so I'd take the sticky tape (sellotape to some of you out there) off slooooowly and precisely. heh.
I'm still flooded by too many things to do at the moment! What with getting everything ready for the new home (a never-ending process it seems) and an exciting new project which I'm working on with strict deadlines ... I've been ignoring my daily drawings, online stores and visits to the artists on the net :( So I decided to take some time off today and post a quick drawing I did yesterday, AND pop over to some of your sites for inspiration. See you there!!

I've enjoyed getting to know you via blog the past few weeks! Good stuff!
Awesome prizes, Clara! It's so hard to choose. I would love to win either of K.L.'s books or the free pb critique from you.
Congrats to your sister on her new publication. Fantastic!! Happy Holidays!
Ooh! A contest. :)
I'd love to win either Lela's book or K.L.'s "King of the Screwups." I've already read and enjoyed her book, "The Garden of Eve."
Waving hello to you, Clara, from rainy Long Island!
I want to learn how to write like the fabulous K.L. Going! And I want to find redemption in everyday life - right now I'd like to find redemption anywhere. Thanks for offering these delicious goodies, dearest Clara.
Hi Clara! Awesome give-away and congrats to your sis! I'd love to win the Finding Redemption book!
Thank you, what a wonderful, generous idea! I would love to win a pb critique or Finding Redemption in Everyday Life.
Thanks also for your delightful and informative site.

Wow, Santa's sack is certainly filled with wonderful goodies. It's a good thing I am on the good girl list this year, so I will weigh in by saying I would be grateful to win any of these inspiring gifts <3
Hi Clara! I have benefited greatly from your critiques and would love an opportunity to have another one...would also love to read your sister's book: Finding Redemption in Everyday Life. I love Kelly's works, have read everyone of her books...in fact she led me to you...shout out to both of you. Thanks Kris

You always have the greatest stuff going on over here! Love to see K. L. Going's books. We'll have to get you guys to come back and do another signing some time!
I would love a copy of Writing and Selling the YA novel!
I would like to say I want a critique of a picture book manuscript, but I haven't gotten it to a point where it can be critiqued. ah well :)
Thanks again!
Greetings from a very soggy corner of the USA . . . Thanks, first, to my gracious "little" sister for profiling my book, "Finding Redemption in Everyday Life" on her blog--I'm not in her league but I'm intensely proud of her talent and discipline. Thanks, too, to all you early risers who expressed interest in my book. Since every member of our family is mentioned at least once, you'll get to know us really well, and, hopefully, find areas that you can relate to
in our various life situations.
Hi Everyone! Thanks to each and everyone of you for your enthusiastic response to the Giveaway! You're all the best!
I'll love to win any of the books and the book sound so interesting.
just a better chance to get in the contest for a awesome book.
Hi Clara,
I would love to get a PB critique from you!
What a great Christmas gift for all of your followers !
I'd love to win either of Going's books or Writing and Selling the Young Adult Novel (I've got two ready to market). But mostly I just really like keeping up with your site. It rocks!
Goodness, I have no sense. I'd appreciate a critique from you also! Thanks for the opportunity!
I'd love to win a critique to my middle reader novel-in-progress inspired by my ancestors during the Civil War. I'm determined to finish it finally because the 150th anniversary will be celebrated 2011-2015.
Second choice would be your sister's book.
A chance to win a signed copy of Lela's book, to accompany all of yours on my "Authors I Have Known" shelf----you bet!!
