I’m pitching “The First Pancake” over on the gram for #writerpit if any editors want to check it out. My username is Stephahenson. Agented. @WriterPit

"The First Pancake" is officially on sub! I'm so excited about this SEL inspired story of seeing the value in trying your best even if you're not 1st, with lots of heart & humor (which is new for me!). Editors, please reach out with interest & I can connect you to my agent. Thx!

Newest PB going on sub this weekend - yay! Editors, keep an eye out for an SEL inspired tale of trying your best with lots of heart and humor, starring a pancake! A version of this story won 3rd place in a writing contest. If you want a sneak peek of the pitch, send me a message!

Hi Editors - with the popularity of “The Summer I Turned Pretty”, readers are eager for romance & research shows even younger readers enjoy romance plots. I have a Lower YA & Upper MG Contemporary, both in verse, both coming of age, with 1st love themes on sub. Please reach out.

Happy 1st Book Birthday to “No School, My Rules!” I'm forever grateful for the support of this book. It’s a Tielmour Press Best Seller + multi award winning title. With school starting up, this book can be a useful tool when talking about refusal, anxiety, bullying, & education.

#When rain plops on a puffball mushroom, its spores rise and float from its center like smoke from a chimney” “Fungi Are...: More Than Mushrooms” is a wonderful non fiction book from Tielmour Press, written by Alisha Gabriel, that is a lyrical exploration of fungi. #SunWriteFun

I decided to give this a shot. I always love the #SunWriteFun writing contest. Check out my entry "Sea Glass Science Fair". @buchetbooks.bsky.social @swildmansf.bsky.social @kmgreenwald.bsky.social #WritingCommunity karengreenwald.com/sunwritefun-25

It’s true. Teen love is very much real. I have two coming of age verse novels on sub (Upper MG & Lower YA) that focus on this. Tweens/Teens want more romance in books without being too spicy. Editors- Please reach out with interest.

Did you know that birds like hawks are trained to deter seagull activity at area beaches such as in Ocean City, NJ? I wrote a Lyrical Info Fiction PB about it and it’s on sub! Editors, please reach out!

I’m not giving up on this story. Editors- please reach out! Pitch- PB that explores Italian American culture through the making of a traditional Italian dessert pastry. But what happens when things don't go exactly as planned in the kitchen? Is the St. Joseph's Day feast ruined?

I’m seeing many teens/tweens wanting more romance that is above MG level but not quite in YA territory. I write that! In verse! I have two books on sub (11 to 15 age range) that focus on first love, heartbreak, & figuring it all out! Editors- Please contact me/my agent.

My Italian focused PB is going out on sub today! Editors, if you are interested in a cultural story surrounding food, family, and a touch of faith - let me know and I can connect you with my agent. 🇮🇹

Just found out that “No School, My Rules!” won a Story Monsters Approved Award in two categories: Picture Book Fiction and School Life. 1/3

Someone tell my main characters. #UpperMG #LowerYA #Verse #writer

“Dear Unkind Mind” is a Lyrical #PB written by a child to their “unkind mind” after being plagued daily by internal mean thoughts. Back matter will include ways kids can write their own letters to break the pattern of negative self talk. #PopUpPitE #LuckyPit #PB #Lyrical #SEL #MentalHealth

A spiritually jaded, impoverished & bullied school newspaper reporter/blogger, has a chance to write a hit piece on the popular kids. But is all fair in crushes & war? Questions of faith & self consume. Will she risk her chance at redemption in the name of revenge? #PopUpPitE #LuckyPit #YA #Verse

First love in Middle School is real. Just ask Samantha. But what happens when her 1st boyfriend dumps her to be with her best friend? A chain reaction: failed softball tryout, breakdown, flee to the beach, escape life with help from a cute Jr. Lifeguard and . . .turtles? #PopUpPitE #LuckyPit #MG

A little girl grows worried about the seagulls & their notorious bad behavior - stealing food, pooping on chairs, & swooping in on people trying to relax. But what happens when she notices a new bird in town whose job is to protect the beach? Info Fiction. #PopUpPitE #LuckyPit #Agented #PB

A child struggles with who to thank on Thanksgiving Day. As a result, she creates a brand-new holiday in order to honor God. This faith based lyrical piece reinforces that God is Good through traditional text & bible verse excerpts. #PopUpPitE #LuckyPit #Agented #PB #Faith

Tis the season for local author events! Just applied to another one. My weekends this Spring are filling up for sure.

Off to speak at a Middle School Writing Club. Wish me luck!

So close . . .

I have some festivals and local author events coming up in the Spring. They are around 4 hours in duration. How much book stock would you bring? Thanks in advance. Want to make sure I have enough but don't want to overshoot it too much either.

Have an after school Writing Club visit tomorrow at a Middle School. Each kid will get a copy of Share Faire Famous and a book swag goodie bag. In the middle of assembling everything now. Fun!

A little fact about me - I have published 5 books with small presses since 2021. There are two that I am very proud of, one that could have been better, and two that I would not do again. A deal is not always the "right" deal. I've learned that in this journey. Here's to ones we can be proud of!

I applied for another festival today. This one is at a local high school craft and vendor fair. These events make me so nervous but I am trying to get out of my comfort zone as a writer. Hoping for the best. Have two events coming up, another pending approval, and now this one. Good vibes!

I had a phenomenal 50th birthday weekend. Let's keep it going. Here's to offers, R&Rs, contracts, and awesome writing news for all of us! Fingers crossed for the ultimate birthday gift - another book deal.

50th Birthday Weekend in Charleston, SC.

Last chance to pick up your hardcover of “No School, My Rules!” For $11.96 (zon) & be entered to win a $50 bookshop.org gift card in honor of my 50th bday. Library requests count too! Ends 2/16, 8pm.
