One year ago today, SKYLIGHT was released to the world. Now, I'm not an overly sentimental person, but this debut year has been quite the learning experience. Happy birthday to my 1st book baby! Many this next year be joyous and filled with new fans 🎉🎉🎉

Love how these tips apply to new writers as well! My favorite is to just get started by working on a one-shot! A writer's equivalent to a short story 🥰 www.creativebloq.com/art/digital-...

I try hard to keep my opinions to myself, but I also teach that silence is consent. When we're silent, we are 💯 complicit in the happenings around us. We must stand up for those without a voice - even at our own peril. Speak up & speak out so others don't feel alone 🤎

It was such an honor to be included in this chat on representation in middle grade! Thanks so much to Annie McCann for inviting me! 🥰 www.bookfairaustralia.com/author-talks
