I got a rejection today. I was bummed, but... I remembered my Query Pass Punch Card! It's the first time I've punched it since I created it. It took the sting away ever so slightly. Do you want one too? Just sign up for our newsletter! #kidlit #booksky www.keepwritingkidlit.com/subscribe/

What comes first... the writing or the art? Nancy explains her process as an author-illustrator: "Early on, I’d write everything down and then illustrate once the story was fleshed out."

It's less than one week at this point, but the graphic is still adorable! Please look out for THIS IS NOT A SLEEPY BEAR BOOK on shelves near you 11/11/25. @briangehrlein.bsky.social wrote the book and he's a friend of the blog! Way to go, Brian! #ThisIsNotASleepyBearBook

Struggling with rejection? Miki explains how she deals with it in the latest interview: "I remind myself it isn’t personal. I’m proud that I challenged myself, and put myself out there. I am still developing my craft, and rejection is a chance for a new learning opportunity." #kidlit #amquerying

On Wednesdays, we post interviews... and there's a new one up on the blog. I highly recommend giving it a read. #kidlit www.keepwritingkidlit.com/miki-matsumo...

I shared on the blog that I've been using 5 Calls to contact my representatives. These are the issues I have been calling about/will call about today! Caring about these issues can make the lives of kids better! 5calls.org What are you calling about today?

Did you read the most recent interview? Did you notice there's a #giveaway? Did you enter? If not, what are you waiting for?

Today is a good day because I have company on the blog! I published our first interview and sent out our first newsletter. I hope you all love it as much as I do! #kidlit #amquerying www.keepwritingkidlit.com/alma-galapon/

One easy way to support a banned book: Tell the world you're reading it! If you share on social media include a link to somewhere people can get it. Word of mouth is a powerful way to draw attention to books & that takes readers like you shouting about the books you love!

Book signing alert! Are you local to Los Angeles? Go see @natashakhankazi.bsky.social launch her new book at Children's Book World!

This looks like a very good read! #amquerying
