🎉 IT'S LAUNCH DAY! 📚✨ "101 Books to Read Before You Grow Up (Revised Edition)" is officially here: geni.us/Q6VG 🧵 1/3

People looking to work in publishing please be aware this salary is NOT acceptable. 4 days in office in NYC with that list of responsibilities for 42K? As someone who has been an assistant to high level executives & has worked in publishing... No. This is is not a serious offer.

My “smile line” of the day: “Did it hurt? When you fell out of whatever Norse myth you came from…” (From A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna) #amreading #readingbringsmejoy

Have kids in your life? Have Blue Jays in view? Here’s a must-read, must-have #KidLit #Bird book for your collection: www.10000birds.com/the-blue-jay...

For the #NF #KidLit creators: The first session today for the @scbwi.bsky.social University’s Nonfiction Series class with Lesa Cline Ransom was fabulous, with lots of insights into creative (often expository) NF. It’s recorded, and there’s still time to sign up for the full series.

My 6th grader showed me his "About Me" presentation for school. On the Favorite Things slide, smack in the middle of it, surrounded by Michael Phelps, donuts, African wild dogs, & bicycles is none other than the cover of MY BOOK. Friends, I'm a grateful mess over here. 😭😭😭

Role reversal on The Growing Readers Podcast! I stepped out of the host chair as Mel Schuit from @quartokids.bsky.social interviewed me about my newly revised "101 Books to Read Before You Grow Up" (out September 9th). 1/3

Thank you Erin! I know we'll have a booth that will be manned by SCBWI authors and illustrators throughout, and I know a bunch of them are on panels and presentations. I'll see if we can get a comprehensive list of them, but until then, we'll invite folks to let you know about them here.

Among the Waves The original pencil sketch is from circa 2010, back when I was in 7th grade and rereading the Percy Jackson books a dozen times over. At the time, I was obsessed with this drawing and thought that it was absolutely sick. #art #kidlitartist #throwback #childhoodart

With a little time on my hands this morning, I’ve pulled up at a nearby indie #bookstore, ordered my decaf chai, and am adding a new opening scene in my drafting MG wip. #writerslife #writingcommunity #amdrafting

Today on the blog: my Shelf Awareness review of The Blue Velvet Chair, a poetic rumination on the world outside young child’s window, from the familiar comfort of a favorite chair. lynnbeckerbooks.blogspot.com/2025/09/shel...

A surprising story about a global seed vault where over 580 million seeds from around the world are preserved safely in the permafrost. This beautifully illustrated book is intriguing and informative. With connections to both SCI and SS, this book belongs in every school library.

Check it out, my mom wrote a book! #historicalfiction #bronzeage a.co/d/36TOW4c

‘Roxanne, what’s it like having kids in school in the U.S. right now?’ Well, let me tell you. roxanneparis.substack.com/p/another-on...

The Art of Revision She ran fast. She ran quickly. She ran quickly like a fox. Like a fox, her feet pounded as she ran. Her feet pounded as she ran. She was a fox, pounding on the pavement. Like a fox, her feet pounded on the pavement, quick & quicker still. She ran fast.

The Art of Revision II She ran fast, but it was no use. She ran fast, yet it was no use. She ran fast. It was no use. She ran fast--it was no use. She ran fast; it was no use. She ran fast. But it was no use. She ran fast, but it was no use.

I think every #book we #write is a new experience because we start with a different vision for each. We might know this about the setting or that about the plot. Or we have an immediate sense of our MC. But I rarely know all of this from the initial vision. #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky
