im tabling at the mississauga comic expo this weekend ! i'll have zines, and my NEW JUST RELEASED graphic novel ghost circus stocked 🌟~ saturday, november 15 from 10am - 4pm at the hazel mccallion central library

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to "help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

THE CITY WE BECAME was literally my first thought when I saw this table

Frey won 😡😭

🎶🎵 GOOD FUCK'N MORNING, BLUESKY!!! 🎵🎶 💃🕺💃🕺

Mamdani!!!!! YESSSSS!! Mayor of Minneapolis likely won’t be decided tonight though SO THE ANXIETY CONTINUES

I have half a bottle of prosecco in my fridge leftover from a brunch and I'd really like to toast it to Fateh (or at a minimum not Frey) and Mamdani tonight!! Come on Minneapolis and NYC!

I think I want to do an #askagent later this week. Like #amquerying folks can ask publishing /querying/writing etc questions and I'll answer as best I can. I know I used to see those a lot on twitter but I don't seem too often here. Would that be something people are interested in? ☺️

Still looking for a job and would love love love to run virtual writing workshops for a writing organization, which i have 12 years experience doing! Open to other opportunities that wouldn't require me to quit agenting though!

Psst! I am opening up to unagented children's book submissions *just for the month of October*! This is an exciting experiment. The email to send submissions to is [email protected]. You can find out about what I'm looking for at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/me...

DVpit #querying Tip: As you scroll the feed make note of which agents like pitches in similar categories/genres as yours & add them to your general querying list! The feed is so busy, they might've missed yours, but if they're liking similar stories that means it's something they want in their inbox

Hello #DVpit! I'm so glad you're back!! I'm closed to regular queries to keep catching up on past requests, but I can't resist jumping into pitches today! If I like your pitch and you want to share your material with me, please use this event-specific link to query: querytracker.net/query/erinca...

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate

OH YEAH I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY COMMISSIONS THING IN THE THING

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Stay tuned... #DVPit #writersky #booksky

Happy book birthday to I Know the Whale by @robinyardi.bsky.social and @mattschu.bsky.social, published by Little Bee! I love this book about the wonder and beauty in nature, in death, in all of us so so much ❤️🐋

"Is it dead?” a kid asks… I’ve heard this question many times from kids on field trips to the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History where it was my task to answer them. Today, this book, illustrated by @mattschu.bsky.social and published by Little Bee, hopes to honor their question honestly. 🐋

Hey #kidlit illustrators! I’m looking for samples of cute, cozy (Cozy? Yes, cozy), anthropomorphic, vehicles for a new board book. Please respond with relevant samples. Please no DMs. 💙❤️ #kidlitart

I'm closed to queries but I'll put this out into the world for when I reopen - in honor of the Barkley Marathon going on currently, which I'm obsessively checking updates on, #MSWL for a MG or YA inspired by the Barkley! Or any other extreme outdoors/survival competition!

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

Happy book birthday to Coral Keepers: Search for the Silver Shell by @robinyardi.bsky.social and Paul Kellam!!!! Visited the real live book at @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social - what a great day! 🧜‍♀️🦈✨🐚

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent. CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN. Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture. MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.

Duckworth N CLOTURE FAILS, CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN. Last few votes rolling in.

I've been working on an idea for a barn shaped book about the crazy stuff that happens when the farmer's away! 🎉🐑 It's fun collaging together a little dummy from pics of animals I found in old cookbooks. It's getting there! Now just to rewrite! 🫠❤️ #kidlit #childrensbooks #kidsbook #illustration

Made a new postcard! It turned out so good. 🦆🐥🐥 Open for illustration and children's books work! ✂️https://www.jaredandrewschorr.com/

Horrified by this e-mail I got from a real illustration agency this morning, advertising the chance to *USE AI* to generate images in the style of one of their illustrators. You join their plan for $$$, pick an artist, give the AI a prompt, then reach out if you want specialization.

*New* on my blog: Basic FAQ abt #KidLitLaunches threads: why I created them, how to use them, how to help. Also a list of links to all the weekly Bluesky launch threads (current and past): debbieohi.link/kidlitlaunches I'll keep this page updated as I post more wkly #KidLit book launch threads.

So mesmerizing 💕
