I won an ABIA! Thank you so much to the good folks at @HardieGrantCP especially @ChrenKali and @arrjaydub and all the industry folk who voted. I am so thrilled! Children’s poetry for the win (just so sorry I couldn’t be there in person to collect it) Have a few drinks for me.

@DoorDash Hi there, I cancelled my door pass on 13 Jan 2023 and my partner has just told me we are still being charged?

@Brocklesnitch There was a period in time when the US didn’t have backstreet boys! And when they did release an album there, it was a mix of songs from the first two albums we had had in Aus/Europe, meaning ‘Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)’ was on their US debut 🙃

@slamup Our school does this at their end-of-semester celebrations. They’ll have a bookseller in the library, & kids pick a book, pay & write their name on a slip. When the book goes into the library it has a ‘donated by’ sticker in the front. We bought ITSOTT at the one we just had 😘

Every Book Week at school, Mum used to buy a book for each of us and make us take it in to the school library and donate it. I can’t remember if lots of families did this, or just ours. Does anyone else have any recollection of doing this? And is it still a tradition?

If you edit my books, you get to deal with stuff like this where even one tiny punctuation edit throws the entire poem out of whack and then it takes half an hour to fix it. It’s fun! Come join us!🤨🤣😂😭😭😭

So thrilled about this book - it has been such a long time in the making. I want all kids to have the opportunity to fall in love with poetry the way I did. Hopefully there’s a poem in there for everyone! Now available for pre-order. Out June 7.

I have a book of 100 new contemporary poems for kids out in June this year with @HardieGrantCP! It includes limericks, haiku, sonnets, acrostic poems, tongue twisters, free verse & more. Big thanks to @Creative_Vic for funding the latter part of this absolutely mammoth project.

@TriciaDearborn @vic_reader I do ‘who sells stationery? A stationer.’
English
@vic_reader (How perfect is that emoji?) I do this, but "e" because "letter" – and stationary with an "a" because "car"
English
Wondering if other editors (or writers) have particular ways of remembering spellings. I never type "bourgeois" without thinking "bor-jee-oyce", or "manoeuvre" without saying to myself "man-oh-ee-oover"

Favourite #kidlit #pb reads this week - Flocked by @ChrenKali and @AndrewJoyner8 - hilarious and moving! and the lyrical Peek and Boo by @coralvass and @JessRacklyeft - shades of The Best Nest; a childhood fave 😍👏📚

@_budgie Publishing emails (esp kids’ publishing emails ) were already a fairly informal land of ‘hurrah!s’ and ALL CAPS EXCITEMENT and kissy sign-offs, but the pandemic unleashed the emoji and the genie ain’t going back in the bottle 🥰🥳😇

Me: Hooray we are going interstate for the first time since 2020.
Qantas: we've cancelled your 6am flight, put you on a flight to an airport 1.5 hrs away. You'll get a bus to original destination
Me: ok.
(lands in Brisbane)
Qantas: AND we've lost your suitcase.

@msmisrule I was beside myself. I was sixteen or so, and I remember my mum coming home and finding me on the lounge room floor, crying. For years, I’d just have to think of Carter seeing her and I’d be 😭

@nicolasantilli So glad! And, YES, I did it in 2012 but would love to do it again.
English
@ChrenKali It is the most amazing, glorious, indulgent experience to spend four days talking all things editing! 😍 I wish editors from all levels of experience got to do this on an annual basis!
English
Somehow doing these late at night after a very busy day seems to be working for me? 😅 Must be all the editing talk!
