Honored and overjoyed to be chosen as JaNay Brown-Wood’s runner up for this year’s @pbrisingstars.bsky.social mentorship program! So excited to have a mini mentorship with JaNay to learn from her experience and work on my stories. Thank you PBRS & JaNay for this amazing opportunity! 🌟

Productivity has fallen to near zero this week due to new puppy, but the household cuteness level has risen by 1000%. #australianlabradoodle #puppy

My writing group met about one year ago (next week) and so we did a little secret pal book exchange. I feel so fortunate to have found this talented, kind, hard-working group of writers!! 🥰 @annamariejanisse.bsky.social

Added all of these wonderful books to my collection this week!! 📚 I loved browsing through every shelf in @booksofwonder.bsky.social after #scbwiNY25 was over, couldn’t help grabbing a couple more.

Just went on an exciting tour of Random House Children’s Books put on by one of their imprints, Delacorte Press. It was a fantastic experience and I was fan-girling over, well… everything. The editors who met with us were so generous in offering their time and insights! A++ way to begin #scbwiNY25

Learned so much from @juanitalondo8o.bsky.social 's talk on Illustrating Stories Digitally: From Concept to Final Artwork! Such a polished presentation that included everything from brainstorming to color theory to adding final touches in Procreate. #scbwiSummer24 #kidlit

There's so much talent in the SCBWI Portfolio showcase! Definitely check it out if you have a moment. www.scbwi.org/submissions/... #scbwisummer24

One of my favorite quotes from #scbwiSummer24 so far, on staying true to yourself through the writing process, not just writing for trends or just to publish. #scbwinotes

So excited to be venturing into the children books authors + illustrators community! Such a welcoming and fun group of people. #scbwiSummer24 #scbwiBIRD
