DID YOU KNOW... In 2023, I critiqued over 100 picture book manuscripts. Some of those manuscripts have gone on to land offers of representation from agents, some are out on submission, and some are even published books found on store shelves right now. #kidlit #writingcommunity

@AlexWaldoBooks @BrianGehrlein That's amazing!

When a BIG 5 five, big, big editor says "So, I think there’s something here," you celebrate. Still a lot of takeaways & opportunities to work through, but i'll take it! Big thank you to @BrianGehrlein for the connection! ...how many more times can I say "big" in this tweet?

@jodywrites4kids @SleepingBearBks @CatBallouMealey I know! I'm so excited for this one to come out next month!

@AprilBerryBooks @SleepingBearBks @CatBallouMealey Can't wait to read this! Congratulations, Cathy!

@lizhagearty Thank you! I was getting super frustrated.

PSA if ur looking for the Love is Blind Reunion on Netflix.. you have to search for it / look under “New on Netflix” its a separate listing and not with all the other episodes

Apparently I've been on this app for 15 years... #MyXAnniversary

@kcollazo @carrierobledo Lucky kids! I bet your presentation was amazing!

Thank you @carrierobledo for inviting me to share #EmersynBlake and my other stories with the second graders at Star Elementary! I had so much fun with all the amazing explorers!🥰 #AlwaysWonder #STEM

@WritingOutLoud2 @sheribbooks And even better, my teen daughter chose to wake up early so that she could observe the lunar eclipse with me!!! 🤩 Hooray for mother-daughter bonding time!

@AprilBerryBooks @sheribbooks I love that for you! I’m so happy you got a glimpse.

Friends! There is a Lunar Eclipse this week! So cool, right? If you are looking for a great picture book to read with the kids about lunar eclipses, I highly recommend O'win and the Moon. #STEM @WritingOutLoud2 aprilberrybooks.com/owin-and-the-m…

@WritingOutLoud2 @sheribbooks The clouds overcame the moon here right before the eclipse peak. But here is my fuzzy cell phone photo from a few moments before that.

@AprilBerryBooks @sheribbooks I can say that, we on the east coast, were socked in by clouds & I’m living vicariously through others’ pictures.

@TheSusanKam @DevikaOza1 I think the same thing about you. I am so excited for your books. What an amazing accomplishment! Truly awesome!

@AprilBerryBooks @DevikaOza1 Thank you, April. You're awesome 🤩🥰
