#QuestPit #MG #Q #C #ownvoices (Now submitting to small presses!!!) 10y/o Iris isn't like other girls... instead of having a phone on her at all times, she has her inhaler ( and her tablet since her dad won't let her get a phone yet) 🫁

5th grade is embarrassing enough. But being known as the girl with asthma makes it's 100x worse. Can Iris beat her reputation and become something more than the girl who can't breathe before she enters middle school? #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #MG #C

Coming soon to a theater near you... PITIFUL PEACHES: Almost Famous + The Summer I Turned Pretty! 🌊🍑 A girl must face the harsh realities of love when she meets her favorite rock and roll band. 🎸 #PosterPitQ #PosterPit #YA #HF #R

Found this photo of me at my first fishing derby 🎣 and now I'm drafting a chapter book about a silly boy trying his best to win a $300 prize pool for catching the biggest fish. (Now that I've been querying for almost a year, it's been hard to write, but inspiration has struck!)

Falling in love with your childhood best friend. Meeting your favorite rock & roll band. Getting in trouble with the cops. Turning 15. The Summer of 1975 couldn't get crazier right? Wrong.🍑 Almost Famous X The Summer I Turned Pretty #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #YA #HF

Honest opinions only. Is it cringey to make a banner of all the poems I wrote about my fiancé in high-school for our wedding? Some are god awful, but that makes it sweet... right?

Got my first ever publishing offer... The catch? It can be edited and published for a small price of $10k. Oh, how I hate hybrid/vanity presses claiming to be trad. Why do they have to prey on desperate authors who want to tell the stories from their hearts? #querytrenches

Happy Valentines Day! 🍑❤️

Doing a development edit with @amandaeditsbooks.com has been eye-opening. She's so sweet and fun to work with! I can't wait to dive into editing the small things that are going to improve my book by 1000% 💞✍️

I entered #SmallPitch on a whim this week. I never do well at pitch contests. I haven't received any likes in the past, so I didn't expect anything, and yet I woke up to a request!!! I'M SO EXCITED.

I may not have an agent or book deal (yet), but 5/5 of my students who submitted their poems in a contest were chosen to be published. My query stats suck but my students' stats are 100% A win is a win. 😅🎉

Shout out to @kellyesparza.bsky.social for already accepting 2 of my poems for FLARE MAGAZINE. @flaremagazine.bsky.social 🥄 Chronic illness rep is important to me, and I'm so excited to read it when it comes out!

Can’t wait to see your work! Please spread the word! #writingcommunity

#CheerPit Iris loves the wintertime because she can sit by the fire and play math games on her tablet instead of worrying about the summer pressures of going on hikes and exercising with her classmates.🎄🔥☕ #MG #WIP

Need a bit of summer nostalgia during your winter time blues? Spend some time with 14 y/o Penny Hartley during the summer of 1975. There's nothing a little sunshine and rock and roll can't fix! ☀️🎸🎄 #Q #YA #F #cheerpit #HF
