After Tuesday's Autumn Frights class with @laurenwrites.bsky.social on witches, I'm fueled with some ideas for my MG witchy horror comedy. Perfect timing for the writing retreat I'm on this weekend 🤩. So excited to write! #AmWriting #KidLit

I just dropped my pitch on @kidlitgn.bsky.social!

I’m working so hard on book 2 of the Encantadora series that I forgot to share the incredible review from The Horn Book! #kidlit #booksky

Are you readying your manuscript to query agents? Preparing for this year’s RevPit event? What better way to know if your query and first 5 pages have what it takes to stand out in the slush pile than to get an editor’s eye on it? We are hosting a #10Queries event, October 10th - October 24th!

@kidlitgn.bsky.social I have a question, one you've maybe already answered somewhere 😅 for graphic novel script query letters, do we put a wordcount? I've not had much luck googling the answer. Sorry for bothering you 🙈

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Had a blast at the first session of the Autumn Frights workshop 😄! Thanks @lyndseycroal.bsky.social and @alexdavis1981.bsky.social for a great first week!
