A perfect description from @paulbae.bsky.social No notes 🏆

I will never get over the joy of working with creators on great projects and seeing their vision come to life. Nor will it ever get old to see a kiddo's eyes light up as they talk about a book they love or find their next great adventure.

I want to give a big shout out to the generous agent who gave me all kinds of actionable feedback on my pages. Query Tracker doesn't allow messages after a query is settled, which is logical, though I very much wanted to thank this agent for her time. I hope this "thank you" will reach her! 🏹🪶🌼

Thanks to amazing author, Rebecca Bendheim for the kind Goodreads review! I would be grateful if any of you who’ve read my book would help me by copying your Goodreads reviews to Amazon too! Only 9 more reviews to get to 50. Simon Kids @thetobiasagency

We are SO excited for this here! Wootwoot for @jowhittemore.bsky.social 💫

I love @alioop7.bsky.social 's generous #kidlit sessions!

This is a very, very good idea. <hint, hint> #kidlitchat

2 months! 2 months until my ghost book hits shelves! It's a cheerful MG about a girl who inherits a business called The Unfinished Business, and then sets about finishing the unfinished business of its erstwhile owner...which is not so easy when you're haunted by ghosts of your own. #KidLit

What a great way to kick off 2026 🌟

Since it made the reading list for the Stoker, this is my little reminder that the gift-giving season is a great time to give a spooky book to the kid in your life or the one that lives in your heart

"fervent, rapt, and highly distractable energy" 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you @raeradford.bsky.social 😆 I feel attacked 😆

I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

Head to Nowhere with 12yo Ember in INTO THE GRAY before going back with Will in the sequel WITHIN THE BLACK, coming November 14th!!! Spooky middle grade for those who sometimes feel lost. 📚🩸
