Coming soon: new projects from @jyotigopal.bsky.social @painternik.bsky.social @marianallanos.bsky.social @debrownst.bsky.social + more buff.ly/4hWZfBl

I wrote an article with my tips for writing a children’s book. I’m often asked this question, so I thought I’d put it all in a blog post. #kidlit #booksky www.marianallanos.com/single-post/...

Teachers and librarians, I’m booking visits for Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond. I have a new book coming out in November! Visit my website for details #edusky #booksky #librarians marianallanos.com

Here’s a reminder that not because someone speaks in Spanish it means that they can be a translator or copyeditor. There are so many nuances to consider when one is translating. Also, knowledge of the craft and industry is a must! Hit me up if you have any translation projects.

My #FathersDay post is WAY too late but here it goes: Meet Patrick,Vampirita’s dad, or Father as she calls him. He’s kind, understanding and most important: he is present, even if her parents are divorced. Happy Father’s Day to all dads who are like Patrick! #booksky #earlymg #kidlit #ReycraftBooks

I loved translating these amazing books and more (in comments). If you want your books translated into Spanish, recommend me with your editor 🥰✨. #booksky #translator #kidlit
