Any #Editors #SmallPresses interested in modern #STEM fairytale retellings? #Rumplestiltskin

Congrats to Mac Barnett & Carson Ellis on their retelling of Rumplestiltskin!🎉 I am SO excited as I just finished polishing my #STEM-related version of this classic! As an educator, I would have LOVED to have two versions to compare and contrast! open.substack.com/pub/lookinga...

🚨Ok fellow pond dam mystery lovers! The culprit has been captured! (On camera anyway!) Gonna need to relocate, you brilliant rodent.🦫 #STEM

These clumps of debris from the bottom of the pond keep appearing dragged up on the pond dam. Never had this happen in the 28 years we’ve lived here. So…I’ve placed my camera traps in a strategic location to try and solve the mystery!🕵️‍♀️ I’m guessing a turtle. Your guess?

And…to echo my last post, make sure you check out these thoughts from @bethmcmullen.bsky.social #WritingCommmunity open.substack.com/pub/bethmcmu...
