go.bsky.app/SerEDfN Here’s my first starter pack to share with the #kidlit community…picture book people with new books coming in 2025!

Tonight, I did a scary-to-me thing and survived! I read four minutes (one chapter) of my YA novel in front of authors, agents, and an editor. I'm proud of myself for conquering my fears! #theverge #ctcwriters #kidlit @thewritingbarn

Post a picture you took(with no description) to bring some zen to the timeline #kidlit

Do the scary thing!

Last weekend myself and 3 other #picturebook creators presented “DinoMania” for kids at the West Valley Library for stem, art, and history content related to our books. Complete with a scavenger fossil hunt. So much fun to collaborate and make an exciting, educational event. #edusky #kidlit

Kelly, JennL, and Jennifer are currently open to queries. Resharing the new ABLA Second Chance Inbox and submission guidelines again here, as all agents will get a chance to go through the SCI even if they're currently closed to queries! bsky.app/profile/andr...

Friends: it would mean the world if you could call out to the ether and share my books! They're about two tween stepsisters who constantly run afoul of ghosts, monsters, and other creepy stuff. They face them all with wit, snark, and especially snark. Did I say snark already? Also snark 😆

Had another fantastic meet-up with The Verge writers tonight—a Q&A with editor Mark Podesta. #kidlit

Looking for my #kidlit friends who left Twitter…

Why isn't there a candy cane emoji?? How hard would that be, emoji gods???

Spend the afternoon diving into to Creating Inclusive and Culturally Sensitive Stories with Sarah Steinbacher. Don't miss out! Replays available! thewritingbarn.com/classes

Happy Pub Day to my CRITIQUE SISTER, Maryna Doughty! #middlegrade #kidlit www.amazon.com/Sincerely-Di...

My niece just gave me the most thoughtful gift…a ghost Garland with my words printed from my blog! (my MC in my YA is a ghost, and @thesydneydavis knows I’m obsessed👻) #kidlit #amwriting

Amazing 🧵on revision! #amwriting #kidlit

If you don't agree with agent/editor feedback, don't freak out. You can always start a conversation. Much like in a relationship, you're not trying to win the argument, you're trying to move forward together, stronger. 10/

Speaking of #moss…

“One of the things everybody seems to want to ask writers is, “Where do you get your ideas?” When people ask me this, my usual response is, “Ideas are the easy part. The hard part is writing them down.” - Patricia C. Wrede #amwriting #author #writing.

Happy hump day people. #writing #screenwriting

Hello! Any #kidlit friends here? PB and YA!
