VerseDay: Verse Novels

May 23, 2013 /

Verseday

 

Today, Marion Dane Bauer writes about why an author would write a novel in verse instead of in prose and writes specifically about why she chose to write LITTLE DOG LOST in verse.

And I’m a bit late with this, but Holly Thompson shared last week where she got her inspiration from her new novel in verse, THE LANGUAGE INSIDE.

Our VerseDay organizer, Gabrielle Prendergast, has a book coming out in the fall called AUDACIOUS. She revealed her cover last week.
