Hey friends – anyone have any K-8 or middle school connections in Danbury CT; South Bend, IN; Boston/suburbs; and/or Cape Cod? I will be in all of these places this coming semester and I’m hoping to connect with a school or two (or three) that might like to have me in for an author visit. Tx!

"a 600-word picture book manuscript was written in the same way as a 40k word MG novel. One word at a time. One paragraph. One chapter." Thanks @christebbetts.bsky.social @highlightsfound.bsky.social #kidlit www.highlightsfoundation.org/2021/12/22/b...

Join us tomorrow (Jan 20) for writing, learning, community, and sharing work!

In all the teaching I've done, nothing has been more effective for more writers than the kind of gentle accountability that comes from a regular schedule of shared, quiet writing time. Join me and my co-host @saraharonson.bsky.social to make a commitment to your writing in ‘25!

Hello LA area friends! Please share this with anyone who might be interested... This event with me and Andrea J. Loney is (suddenly) coming up fast... January 14 (online) and January 25 (in person). Registration and info here: www.scbwi.org/events/theat...

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?

I’ll be back hosting Together Alone this week, 12-1pm Eastern, Monday-Friday on Instagram Live. No rules, no requirements, just join in for as much or as little of this shared quiet writing time as you like.

@christebbetts.bsky.social Congrats on making this top 10 audiobooks for 2024! abcnews.go.com/Entertainmen...

If you’re a writer looking for a way to write more regularly and want a wonderful group of supportive fellow writers to join you, I highly recommend Chris and Sarah’s Sprints. @saraharonson.bsky.social @christebbetts.bsky.social

For the rest of 2024, @christebbetts.bsky.social and I are organizing writing sprints. Show up. Get it done. Find community. Brainstorm. For me, this time of year does not always lead to productivity. But this year, these sprints are helping me get it done. And that feels great. #kidlit

Trying out a new thing here. Sarah Aronson and I have been teaching together for several years, and the one thing we’ve found that MOST helps writers with productivity has been the kind of soft accountability that comes from shared writing time with others – – a.k.a. writing sprints on zoom

I'll be offering this two-hour mini version of my in-person workshop and retreat (coming in 2025), hosted by R(ev)ise and Shine, on June 26. $30 plus a $3.85 ticketing fee. Link for more info and registration. Tx!
