Success Story

A Kiersten White Retrospective

Lapsed minion (and contributor to Evil Editor Teaches School) Kiersten White has a book out, titled Endlessly. It's the third book of a YA trilogy. Long-time minions may remember Kiersten as the author of numerous cartoon captions, including:





...as well as numerous writing exercises, including this "Write Like Poe" exercise, in which she apologizes for abandoning us and makes an empty promise to return to minionhood.

Here's another sample of Kiersten's best work.

And one of her film screenplays.

Congrats to her!

Dayum, get a load of that amazon sales rank. #2102 overall. That's terrific.

It was all downhill after I stopped playing on the blog. We can admit it. The EE/Poe poem is probably my best work ever. The novels are just a pale imitation of my former cartoon-captioning glory.

(Also, aww, thanks! You helped so much with the query that got me my agent.)
