Hiii everyone, hiiii! I forgot about this platform and how much I enjoy it🤓 How's everyone doing, #kidlit? What are you working on? #publishing

ooh, there's going to be a hardcover edition of The Unfinished Business. Fancy! regal-house-publishing.mybigcommerce.com/the-unfinish...

Hi MA friends! I'll be signing books at Buttonwood Books in Cohasset today from 10-12 if you wanna say hi! xoxo #kidlit #ma #spookymg

Now that Thelma #3 is in, I'm taking a minute to go "holy crap, I wrote all these." #kidlit #gratitude @snowywingspublishing.com

New arrival! S'MORE SPOOKY STORIES is here at last. Proceeds go to our National Parks🖤 thank you @owlhollowpress.bsky.social ! #kidlit

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Hey, friends. I hope you're all doing okay. Or something approximating okay. May your breath be a blessing. May your work be a blessing. May your care for others and may your receiving of care be a blessing as well. I feel blessed just to know you. Hold on to something beautiful for me, will you?

BITTERFLY BAY is an Amazon Hot New Release in Children's Ghost Stories!!! Thank you everyone for supporting my weird little haunting book!!

Check out this interview with our very own @maryaverling.bsky.social about her new book, THE GHOSTS OF BITTERFLY BAY, available now! spookymiddlegrade.com/2025/02/06/a...

The US Dept. of Education’s Office of Civil Rights has dismissed 11 complaints and six allegations related to book bans, saying it was ending "Biden’s book ban hoax." PEN America counted over 10,000 instances of school book bans in the 2023-24 school year, nearly 3X the number in the previous year.

HI👋 A little intro post for new friends! I'm Erin, mom, author of middle grade fiction, and sometimes-poet. I miss book publishing talk 🤓 Next release is a spooky mg anthology from @owlhollowpress.bsky.social and my 3rd Thelma Bee adventure from @snowywingspublishing.com hits shelves in May! #kidlit

I'm so pumped to have a story included here!!

So many different lives, but I've been writing through all of them. That's a thing I'll let myself be proud of. ❤️ #kidlit

I've had 2 great writing days but I'm in the messy middle of a first draft- in a new genre😅 I feel kind of scared. #writingcommunity

Looking forward to reading THE LOSTING FOUNTAIN after reading this interview with @lorasenf.bsky.social on the @spookymiddlegrade.bsky.social site. #newbooks spookymiddlegrade.com/2025/01/03/a...

Did...Did Tolkien write this article?

OK insomnia, so let's write the book. #writingcommunity

We lost this sweet friend a few days ago. Heaven gains a queen.🐾🪽❤️

Mood #christmas

"Giddy up giddy up giddy up, let's scram... Just look at your hands .." Sleigh Ride as understood by my 7 year old who has apparently never questioned this mid-song dark turn.

Okay, I'VE BEEN GOOD for years. I ignored the most prolific and hateful book banner in America repeatedly jumping into my replies shouting lies so many times. But I went off on him just one little time, as a treat. Once he sees it I'll block him.

Hey #kidlit illustrators, do you love DRAGONS? I do! I’m looking for an artist who can breathe life into a comedic dragon w/ mass appeal for a new character-driven graphic-reader series (ages 4–6). Respond here with images and a link to your folio. Please no DMs. Agents are welcome to email. 💙❤️
