A canva graphic with details of Lauren Magaziner’s essay in Writer’s Digest.

Heading: WRITER’S DIGEST
Title: How to Find Light in the Darkness in Fiction
Subtitle: Bestselling author Lauren Magaziner shares how to find light in the darkness when it comes to writing fiction, especially for MG readers.
Except from article: β€œIt’s no easy task to remain truthful about these grim and pertinent themes while also giving kids enough optimism to find their courage. There were a few craft techniques I used to maintain that delicate balance.

The graphic also contains a head shot of pale skinned, dark curly-haired Lauren Magaziner, as well as a picture of the electric blue-purple cover of The Incorruptibles.

My @writersdigest.bsky.social essay went live!!!! It’s all about walking that tonal balance between darkness and light, especially in middle grade fictionβ€”how to find the hopeful note in the face of insurmountable odds πŸ’œ.
