@jcyoungstrom This is a great pitch--clever concept!🥳

The birds of Dusky Town have no bedtime, until one Friday the Thirteenth when a shady crow brings one bad omen after another and bedtime is the only way to wake up the tired town. #TLPPitch #PB #HOL #bedtime #badomen

Educating the teens on 90s music and B-side Beatles and enjoying every second.

@jcyoungstrom If you can do the illustrations, you definitely have an advantage.

I've been debating on learning illustration, but #PBParty just made my mind up for me. This year they received 1094 entries. 139 of them are from author/illustrators. Much, much better odds!

@canoesandcosmos This sounds very relatable!

@kidlitjenny Yes! I wish you could delete them and start again.

When you're excited you got a like on #PBPitch, but then you realize its not from an agent or editor.

@KenaiDiane Oh, Alaska has my heart. Good luck!

@AileenWStewart Great attitude! Keep going!

If I don't get ♥️s on pb pitches today, I will still stay positive because "Give Up" isn't in my vocab. I've practiced, perfected, pitched & persisted for 15 years. I'm getting champagne rejections & cps love my work. I just need one agent or editor to fall in love. Just one!

@HeatherM_kidlit This book is NECESSARY!

@RenslowJessica Thanks! Rooting for you today!

@AndiKate11 Neat concept ✌️💕📚

@birthdaygirl925 Haha! Smart premise!

@KariAnnGonzale1 Haha! This sounds very cute!

@DJChristie6 We love surfing books!

@AngelGan Great concept!

#PBPitch Carpenter is no ordinary cat. He’d rather build things then play in mud puddles and chase butterflies. The other cats find faults in every one of his creations. Carpenter doesn’t know what to do. Should he continue building things or should he be a “normal” cat?

@halforange Haha. I love a good pun!

INTERSTELLAR CINDERELLA x LOVE, TRIANGLE ✨CylinderElla shines✨ at Prism Palace: no glass slippers, but her geometric skills roll, stack, & slide her to the top. So will she earn the respect she deserves to live happily ever MATHter? #pbpitch #stem

@womeganwo Cute concept.

@jes_trudel Hahahaha! I have a bunch of pet peeves like this, but you just blew my mind because I have totally done this! Changing now!

What are your linguistic pet peeves? It irks me when people pronounce mischievous as MIS-CHEE-VEE-OUS. Where does the extra syllable come from?

@SFlom03 Haha--smart! Love the shoe size!

@TheFeltTipPen Great concept!

Percy wants to impress his friends with a real life, flies-in-the-sky, but not too high, kid-sized airplane. When his plans fail, he must learn that mistakes are part of the process, while his friends prove that HE is what’s most important. #pbpitch #STEM #SEL

@CLathamwrites Hurray! I wrote this to sound like a drum cadence.

@AndiKate11 This has an excellent beat!

@jburbank Oh, this image of William is one of my faves.

#pbpitch When goat, William, & his boy, Danny, realize the box of William's favorite breakfast, GOATMEAL, is…gasp…empty, stomachs drop. They'll have to cook up a compromise before tempers boil over in this 353-word fiction pb. Capybara is Friends with Everyone meets Cave Dada.
