What a wonderful world it could be…

A reminder that your book matters, regardless of bells, whistles, shinies, and accolades. It matters because a reader enjoyed it. Because maybe it inspires them. Because you put your heart on the page. Because you did a hard thing, and the act of doing it has changed you.

Hey #kidlit lovelies! Let's do an #askkidlit! Send all your publishing questions on over.

I think you're all doing great, even if it doesn't always feel that way. #kidlitchat

I'm opening up an #AskKidLit while I work on projects. Feel free to send your questions about the publishing world. If you'd rather DM, just let me know. And please don't be shy. I know someone else has the same question. We're in this together. That's what makes the KidLit community so special.

“Many teachers are secret revolutionaries and still assign whole books." A culture where reading and studying an entire book is revolutionary. How disheartening.

Reminder: A lot of great books published this year during absolutely bonkers news & world event times. That squashes people talking about them. Keep buying books please, keep borrowing them from libraries, and for the love of all that's good, talk about them. Post about them. 📚

their love of reading because they read YOUR book, that's a huge win. You can't create for the stars and shinies. Stars rise and fall. This round of shinies will be packed away before the new year as the industry folk start chattering about the 2026 gems. (It's already started.)

With the recent brazen robbery of the Louvre, I can't help but think of @tphillipswriter.bsky.social's THE CURIOUS LEAGUE OF DETECTIVES AND THIEVES: EGYPT'S FIRE. Did Tom write this into being? Is there something we don't know? Should we call Toadius and John? holidayhouse.com/site/pixel-i...
