I was the visiting author for the Young Authors celebration in the Shenandoah Valley. For 4 days, I gave presentations and talked to students, teachers, reading specialists and librarians about books, writing and art. It was an amazing, inspiring & uplifting experience. #schoolvisitsarethebest

This is brilliant. A declassified World War II guide for citizen saboteurs on how to fight fascism is going viral www.404media.co/declassified...

Thank you for sharing Nina! 🩷

My #artvsartist for 2024 for illustration. ✨

I just wrapped up my first big holiday market and had a great time. The best part was connecting to people who loved my stuff, especially new art like my paper maché witches, painted ornaments and clay gnomes & mushrooms. It’s so cool to meet new people in person who love your work. 🩷

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m deep in prep mode for my first big craft market this weekend so I’m combing a little something new with a little something from last year. I’d love to illustrate other writers books, early chapter books and early graphic novels! #kidlitpostcard

To say I’m very disappointed, incredibly angry, very depressed or extremely worried seems inadequate but I must go on. I’ll share my light and when I can’t, you can. When we can’t, they can. We’ll light these dark times together. #kidlitartpostcard #kidlitpostcard

Hey #kidlit illustrators, we’ve been talking lately in-house about the need for more funny, character-driven picture books. Let’s do an #artshare. I’d LOVE to see the most infectiously funny and likeable character you’ve ever come up with. Share samples below. Please no DMs/emails. 💙❤️

Happy New School Year! I’m currently scheduling visits for 24-25 and have some availability! www.pippinmathur.com

Happy Mermay!

Happy #kidlitpostcard day!

Very comprehensive list of tips here. I’ll add: there is no baseline algorithm at work here, clamoring for your attention. This is a grocery store, not a restaurant. If you came here because you don’t want other people messing with your feed, you need to learn to cook.

Join my sister in law and me for one of these great events as we celebrate the release of our second book together! Online or in-person! #holi #holihai #newpicturebook

Are you a kidlit book author or illustrator who enjoys connecting with schools & libraries? Read attached guidelines FIRST then reply w/info. Shortlink to this thread: debbieohi.link/kidlit-creat.... Older thread here (incl. dormant accts hence this new thread) #Edusky #Skybrarians #SchoolVisits

Nope, I didn’t forget about this app until I saw a post from @debbieohi.com 😅

I’ll be joining these talented #scbwi authors and illustrators at #VAASL2023 on Nov 2nd and Nov 3rd where we’ll share information about our school visits! @erinteagan.bsky.social @terrycjennings.bsky.social @marciefatkins.bsky.social @debrakshumaker.bsky.social @ediblewords.bsky.social

Happy #kidlitpostcard day! I’m interested in illustrating other traditionally published authors work in addition to my own stories. My style is colorful, magical and ever evolving. #kidlitartist #kidlitart

It is really hard being a writer these days. The industry is getting tougher all the time. You can REALLY help authors and books you love by talking about them. Word of mouth is real magic, your voice matters, it's never too small. Share your enthusiasm for books you love. And THANK YOU.

It’s time!

It’s fall ya’ll! I’m trying to draw a lot of cute critters before I start on witches for October.
