This NEW middle grade horror had a 'heated' five-way auction. Five-territory rights deal. 😲 I know that doesn't happen often. Celebrate every win! Oh, and ... WATCH OUT for the babysitter. 😱😆 #writingcommunity #middlegrade #amquerying #writers

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1378: Many would-be authors make the mistake of believing that you "start off" as a children's writer, then "move on" to writing for adults. This is both completely incorrect, and terribly disrespectful to children's authors.

Of course, I just typed-up my best synopsis ever (that never happens) and it's 868 words, which only means one tragic thing: 🪓🪓🪓🪓📄🪓🪓🪓🪓

I was recently thinking about the number of legendary storytellers who have contributed to kidlit. All amazing and unique in their own right. But the other day, while talking with family and sharing my experience getting to work on some of these authors' books, it occurred to me that,

My lovely #KidLit and #YALit folks: You are doing great (even on the hard days), and I'm so proud to be among your ranks. Keep making. Keep dreaming. Keep spinning those stories. You never know who you'll inspire or what greatness you'll spark.

I just felt my character’s anger so much that my hands were in fists. 😱😄 👻Revising my Coraline-vibing ghost doll horror. Although it's third on my list of novels I'd query, I'm fixing it all up. 👻 This one is shorter than my others. I'm near the end right now, so the fight is on. #writing

How do you write an engaging first line? First of all, don't sweat this, especially not during a first draft. Your first line only has to accomplish one thing: make your readers curious to go on to the next line. Here are a few tips on how to do that: 1/5 #Writing

My draft notes to myself are almost always: EMOTION. EMOTION HERE! 😂 I really hope I never forget to delete any. 📚 #writingcommunity

Someone I’ve known since I was five-years-old passed away. Loss reminds us that time is slipping away too fast. I keep replaying my childhood, wishing I could pause everything and everyone I've ever cared for so I'll never lose them. ❤️😔 #writingcommunity
