Hi #portfolioday I’m Hollie, an author and illustrator in New England. I’m open to picture books and chapter books, and MG. #kidlitart #kidlit www.holliemichaels.com

I find pitch contest overwhelming. I tend to pop in and out. But supporting everyone’s incredible work made it worth it. Fingers crossed for those who got agent hearts. Here is Super Benny rooting for the projects who didn’t get noticed this time. #dvpit #kidlit

An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals! This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?! Please let me know if you receive an email like this!

Last night I heard the cat yelling out - usually means he has a mouse. The dog went running to join in the fun. Moments later the teen is yelling for me to wake up. “A chipmunk is in the bathroom!” Friends it was a flying squirrel. 🫣 (He was scooped up with towel and released outside.)

So I went downstairs to write but my husband is playing “cleansing singing bowls” loudly on the dinner speakers because the poltergeist in our 175 year old home has been a lot lately. Anyways these are the normal things keeping me from working today. #writingcommunity

I’m trying to write pitches but Oberon said nope.

I went from being the loud teen friend singing in the back seat to the MOM driving all the loud singing teens to the mall. 🫣😭 #momlife

It’s so great to pop into a library and see the excitement on my son’s face when he sees a book I wrote. Especially this one because he inspired it. #kidlit

Delighted to let people know that Sangu Mandanna’s upcoming second book is a goddamn delight even more than the first one was, has ruined me for all other cozy witch romance: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/696868...
