That’s my book!! 🤩 ⬇️ #TheAtoZteachingtoolkit #Teachers #Educators #k12teachers #ece #teachingbooks #Education #ClassroomManagement #StudentEngagement #Elementary

It’s cominggggg!!! #kidlit #KidlitZombieWeek

It was SUCH a pleasure to be a part of the @writersworkout.bsky.social Conference this year! And #kidlit friends, my presentation is now live and ✨FREE✨on their website & YouTube!!! I hope it supports you in your journey! #writingcommunity www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNFi...

Picture books are one of the hardest formats to write well and one of the easiest to underestimate. Thirty-two pages. No wasted word. Every line has to carry weight.

An early bday gift! So honored to be chosen by @kateallenfox.bsky.social l as a @pbrisingstars.bsky.social runner-up. #PBRisingStars

There are some things in life that speak for themselves. A manuscript with the heart to tell you it wants to live? Yeah, that'd be one of them. #KidlitZombieWeek #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity

🧟‍♀️☎️Need we say more? #KidlitZombieWeek June 1-5. Blog posts. Discussions. Community. And prizes. #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

I haven't seen the statistics to know for sure, but slush pile drowning seems like a HUGE reason for story death—especially in this climate of flooded agent and editor in-boxes. Help your manuscript survive and find life as a book. #KidlitZombieWeek #WriterSky #KIdLit #WritingCommunity

Why didn't the manuscript zombie stand out in the slush pile? Because it didn't have any legs! Get that dearly departed story idea back on its feet with #KidlitZombieWeek. June 1-5 on BlueSky and Instagram www.instagram.com/kidlitzombie... #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunty #KidLitArt

I might also try Ask the #KidlitZombieWeek Audience & 50/50—in which someone else magically erases 50% of what I DON'T need in my story so that I can get a better sense of what I DO need in there. 🤔Hey, playing this Millionaire-style might actually work!😏 #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity

I pulled an old one recently and gave it a good (I hope) work over. Sent it to my critique group for help!

🤣😂🤣

What's better than zombie drool for inspiration?! 🤣

@kidlitzombieweek.bsky.social KidlitZombieWeek is coming. . . Unearth those manuscripts that have been buried and get ready to bring them back to life! ⚰️🧟🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️ #kidlitzombieweek

Favorite lifeline? Phone-a- #KidlitZombieWeek -friend. We've got your back, #amwriting and #amrevising #KidLit peeps! Share and tag all your CPs to join the hoarde June 1-5 right here on BlueSky and on Instagram www.instagram.com/kidlitzombie... #WriterSky #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

@boringstorybook.com I went to find a "good luck" gif and this popped up! "I know this creator!" So cool that you've made gifs.

My advice is to never implement a critique suggestion literally. Always use it to hone what you want to say in your own voice. #kidlitchat

I take critiques as opportunities to spark ideas - I hardly ever take suggestions at face value. A good critique helps you consider what your own intent was and if it is coming across clearly. #kidlitchat

Yes, the thought of digging that old manuscript back up might be terrifying. The revisions might be torture. But at least it won't have a reason to stand there drooling over your shoulder anymore.🧟‍♀️🧟🤤 Think about it: Drool free shoulders!🫠 #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

The weekend is a perfect time to talk about stopping. Our brains and bodies need it—in #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and every month. Love That Brain: The Art of Stopping to Start Creativity Flowing kcstrocchia.com/2026/03/19/l... #WriterSky #KidLit #Anxiety #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

Deep in a cave at the bottom of a graveyard, Lived a little zombie, and his name was Ziggy Zou. Ziggy lived alone and had nobody to play with. He wished someone would visit him. He'd like a friend or two. #zombie #vampire #kidlit #halloween https://www.ziggyzoubooks.co.uk/home/littlehorrors

When I showed one of my character illustrations to a 4-year old neighbor today, she cracked up and said, “that’s really funny.” The best critique. 😄

That story that keeps gnawing at the back of your brain? The one that torments you in your sleep? We dare you to dredge it back up. #KidlitZombieWeek is coming June 1-5. #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

Honestly, sometimes my manuscript and I both look this rough after we've been in the trenches together. So, a revision makeover sounds like a pretty sweet plan to me!🧟‍♀️🧟💄🪮💅🤩 #KidlitZombieWeek #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

Sounds like I'm gonna need me a pair of steel toe boots! Between the headstones falling and the manuscript zombies stomping to life, we're about to have a proper foot smashing. 🪦🧟‍♀️🧟🥾😱 #KidlitZombieWeek #WriterSky #KidLit #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

Ah, yes, brain is not very cooperative today. Today is a safety scissors kind of day!

I have a new story that’s been bouncing around in my brain that I have been “writing” while driving, showering, cooking, falling asleep and pretty much anywhere that doesn’t actually involve typing the words into my computer! 😆 😂 #amwriting #kidlit
