Holly Niner, author of No More Noisy Nights, recently received the most heartwarming call from her son. Her 7-year-old grandson, who has been working hard to learn to read, wanted to read No More Noisy Nights to her! Hearing him read her own story was a great joy. @ipgbook.bsky.social #authorlife

@amynielsen.bsky.social Hello, I just tried to send you a query but it says you are closed to queries on query manager?

@amynielsen.bsky.social When querying a short picture book manuscript of around 1,200 words, and the guidelines request a synopsis, would you still prefer that a synopsis be included, or is the query letter itself usually sufficient for a manuscript of that length?

If you're querying, this guide by agent @AmyNielsen06 is a must-read. She breaks down exactly what she wants to see in your query, first pages, and synopsis. amynielsenauthor.com/2023/10/02/polishing-your-submission-packet-for-querying #WritingCommunity #QueryTips #Querying #KidLit #AmWriting

Autism isn’t just a self-discovery journey for us—it’s a condition that usually shows signs by 18 months and affects every part of life: communication, behavior, safety, school, and more. It’s relentless, beautiful, and hard.

This International Women’s Day, I’ll be rallying in solidarity with the women of Iran. Women should never be treated as worth half of men. Children should not be tortured or imprisoned. Today I stand with those demanding dignity, freedom, equality. #InternationalWomensDay #WomanLifeFreedom

Freedom doesn't see colour, borders, or bloodlines. It belongs to everyone. We deserve leaders who honour that light, not extinguish it. #FreedomForIran #FreeIran #IranFreedom #StandWithIran #FreedomUnitesUs

"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." — Albert Einstein. Iranians are being killed, tortured, and imprisoned for peacefully demanding their basic rights. You don't need to donate. Amplify their voices. #HumanRights #Free Iran

« Au cœur de l'hiver, j'ai découvert en moi un invincible été. » Camus knew. The warmth doesn't come from the season. It comes from the people who refuse to let you freeze alone. Literature has been telling us this since the beginning. #LiteratureForFreedom #SolidarityIsNotSelective #FreeIran

"When the state kills its own citizens for speaking or protesting, it declares that dissent itself is a crime — and condemns justice to silence." — Václav Havel #HumanRights #Justice #FreedomOfSpeech #Dissent #NoToOppression #StandForTruth

"The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference." Elie WieselThis quote reminds us that silence in the face of injustice is complicity. As the people of Iran continue to fight for their basic freedoms, we cannot look away. #IranProtests #HumanRights #StandWithIran #ElieWiesel #EndIndifference

‘Oposición’, por fin una novela de Sara Mesa que me gusta (y mucho)  elasombrario.publico.es/oposicion-po...

Grateful to the Flame Tree editorial team for publishing “Time Dust Under Seven Walls” in their February Newsletter. My story explores time as residue rather than continuum, and the quiet ways history reshapes identity long after the moment has passed. #flashfiction #speculativefiction #amwriting

If u care about human rights, children's rights, and women's rights, join us TODAY to stand with the people of Iran. The brave women and men of Iran have been fighting for freedom, dignity, and basic human rights. Let them know they are not alone. Human rights are not negotiable. #GlobalSolidarity

I am in awe of the bravery of the people of Iran. Of their refusal to live split from themselves. What they are offering the world is more than resistance. It is a reminder that dignity, choice, and wholeness are not luxuries.

"Writers, readers: what's one UNFORGETTABLE physical characteristic of a beloved female literary character? Not a personality trait, but a specific gesture, a unique physical detail, or an unforgettable sense (like a scent she carries). #WritingCommunity #Books"
