RULE OF THREES review from Shelf Awareness

May 25, 2021 By Marcy Campbell

Loved this great review from Shelf Awareness, especially because it uses the word, “humdinger,” a favorite of mine that doesn’t get enough circulation anymore! Rule of Threes Kids in middle-grade novels tend not to have it easy. Even so, in Rule of Threes, Marcy Campbell (Adrian Simcox Does NOT Have a Horse) comes up with a […]

RULE OF THREES Review from Publishers Weekly

April 6, 2021 By Marcy Campbell

Don’t/Do Cross the Streams

March 30, 2021 By Marcy Campbell

As I’ve mentioned here once, or twenty, times, the publishing world moves slowly. A book that sells today won’t see a store shelf for at least two years. My next picture book with Corinna Luyken, SOMETHING GOOD*, comes out this September, but sold three years ago. I remember when I heard it wouldn’t be out […]

Hopeful Gifts

January 6, 2021 By Marcy Campbell

Like pretty much everyone, I’ve been in a bit of a funk, and the end of the year means heaps of melancholy, hooray! On that note, I’d say the absolute best Christmas song is “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” because it pokes at that holiday sadness and acknowledges loss, which we’ve experienced so much […]

Scissors, Markers, and a New Book

December 2, 2020 By Marcy Campbell

With my first middle-grade novel ready to come out in the spring (RULE OF THREES! May 2021! From Chronicle!), I’m focusing on Novel #2 with a process that requires scissors, markers, and a retreat into my attic. Writers often get asked about our “process.” Every writer has a different one, and writers might have different […]
