AT LAST SHE STOOD by @erinentrada.bsky.social was one of my favorite non-fiction books for young people this year. I learned a piece of history I knew very little about. The book is featured in Philippines Esquire this week. Worth checking out. www.esquiremag.ph/culture/book...

#Fiction #HBReviewoftheWeek THE LAST RESORT by @erinentrada.bsky.social; illus. by Naomi Franquiz (Scholastic): "In this supernatural murder mystery, the versatile Kelly skillfully balances otherworldly horrors with more realistic middle-school angst." www.hbook.com/story/review...

I would love to see you at my annual Writing Marathon! Link in bio for complete info. :)

Candace, The Universe, And Everything @misssmith11.bsky.social is a perfect time travel story, and fits between that YA/MG space publishing seems to avoid. Also, I picked it up because it was blurbed by my favorites: @laurelsnyder.bsky.social @anneursu.bsky.social @erinentrada.bsky.social 💜💜💜

@bookriot.bsky.social's list of the Best Books of 2025 includes THREE titles by book creators from our group! Congrats to Tiffany D. Jackson for THE SCAMMER, @erinentrada.bsky.social and Kwame Mbalia for ON AGAIN, AWKWARD AGAIN, and Neil Sharpson and @dansantat.bsky.social for DON'T TRUST FISH

I know other writers have received mountains of fraudulent emails recently—as have I—but this one is legit, y’all. Her email address is colleenhover43 at hotmail. WHAT MORE EVIDENCE DO YOU NEED. #writerlife

Yay!

At Last She Stood by @erinentrada.bsky.social is a heart-tugging #biography of a #Filipina heroine. My book review for @positivelyfilipino.bsky.social www.positivelyfilipino.com/magazine/tho... #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth

My daughter and I are loving 📚👍 #kidlit #YA #novel #romcom by the amazing @erinentrada.bsky.social and @kwamembalia.bsky.social

I’m proud because my book was an instant bestseller! And I’m also sad that the world is on fire. This feels like a tiny light. But I shall accept light of all sizes. I hope you have a twinkling lighthouse too, my friends.

Some creepy fun from two well-known authors. @erinentrada.bsky.social @peterbrownstudio.com kidsbookaday.com/2025/09/15/a...

Congratulations to National Book Award winning and two-time Newbery Medal winning author @erinentrada.bsky.social on the release of the fourth book in her delightful illustrated middle grade MARISOL RAINEY series. Happy Book Birthday and Welcome to the World, YOUR TURN MARISOL RAINEY

@halburjennifer add this to your classroom library! Kids are going to love this spooky and mysterious ghost story! Complete with QR codes, this will hook mg readers!! Thank you @erinentrada.bsky.social @scholastic #BookPosse

When I was 12, I wrote @stephenking a fan letter. "You might as well answer now because I'm going to write until you do. It would save a lot of time," I said. Well, my friends, that precocious 12-year-old girl is very happy right now because HER FIRST SPOOKY STORY IS ENTERING THE WORLD! @scholastic

I had a super inspiring day with 60 school librarians in Lamar ISD! It was a lot of fun booktalking The Last Resort, The First State of Being, Ruthie Rose's Big Idea, and Louder Than Hunger. @erinentrada.bsky.social

I'm reading . . . @erinentrada.bsky.social

That feeling when you want to leap into a book and stop a character from doing something really really foolish. @taekeller.bsky.social

I am on a train and can only use my phone rn, so AMA. Alternately, one like = one writing tip or book publishing opinion. To kick things off: prologues are fine as long as they’re shorter than 1000 words and not redundant with Chapter 1!

From Jul/Aug #HBMag #ALA Awards issue: Profile of 2025 #Newbery Medalist @erinentrada.bsky.social by Sharon Huss Roat: "The book sprang from her interests as both a history buff and sci-fi fan." www.hbook.com/story/profil... @harperkids.bsky.social @wearealsc.bsky.social @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social

Over in the Broad Street Review, I talked about ten local kid-lit authors folks should scoop up for their young readers. Like @alexlondon.bsky.social @erinentrada.bsky.social @farahnazrishi.bsky.social @dianawallachauthor.bsky.social and more! www.broadstreetreview.com/essays/disco...

My toxic trait is changing my profile picture every other day and I’ve come to terms with it because honestly who cares. Well, except me, apparently.

My essay about Joey Guerrero was picked up by several news outlets, including Orange County Register, Los Angeles Daily News, Pasadena Star News, and so on. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share Joey’s story.

Had an absolute blast talking with @erinentrada.bsky.social and @kwamembalia.bsky.social about their fun, funny rom-com ON AGAIN, AWKWARD AGAIN on this week's episode of Hey YA: bookriot.com/listen/new-y...

A Newbery winner switches gears and writes a work of older nonfiction for her young readers. Today we answer why, and discover just how cool Joey Guerrero truly was. I interview @erinentrada.bsky.social #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/05/21/e...

Fast Five Interview: Erin Entrada Kelly Author Erin Entrada Kelly joins us to talk about her new book At Last She Stood: How Joey Guerrero Spied, Survived, and Fought for Freedom teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2025/05/06/f... @tltkaren.bsky.social @erinentrada.bsky.social

A question of no consequence. If you had to get a tattoo of a non-Disney cartoon character, who would it be?

Finally watching The White Lotus. S1, E1.

Read a conversation with @erinentrada.bsky.social and Rebecca Stead, past Newbery award winners, in @publisherswkly.bsky.social! #kidlit

"With The First State of Being, the question was: how do we live in the present moment when so much is out of our control? Bad things are going to happen, and there’s nothing we can do about it. How do we exist in that space?" — @erinentrada.bsky.social www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Proud of these reviews for my first work of nonfiction! AT LAST SHE STOOD: HOW JOEY GUERRERO SPIED, SURVIVED, AND FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM on sale everywhere May 6. Available for preorder.

As mom used to say: you gotta laugh to keep from crying.

Come out with us! @erinentrada.bsky.social and I will be taking our story on tour in all of its awkward glory.

You are beautiful and I’m happy you’re here. You. Yes, YOU.

#NationalLibraryWeek kicks off today! It’s a time to celebrate the places that welcome everyone, spark curiosity, and strengthen our communities. This week, take a moment to discover—or rediscover—what makes your library special. What draws you to the library? ilovelibraries.org/national-lib...

When you were ten years old, what was your favorite book? And do you still love it today?

I’m here to cleanse your feed with a completely benign question: What’s your favorite household appliance? Mine is my coffee machine. If I could marry my coffee machine, I would.

I love this note because of its many plot twists. 'Do you like cats? I do. I loooooove books to. I have a cat. I'm allergic to cats and dogs. Thank you again. P.S. I was a cat.'
