Josh Allen

@Jess_a_Roux @Inkymole Thanks for reading! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it!

Feel like stepping into a sinister middle school version of The Twilight Zone? Then check out Once They See You by @JustJoshAllen with art by @Inkymole. I've been slowly digesting these one spooky story at a time. For fans of: Things that go bump in the night 🌙 😉 #amreading

@JDarowski Right?! People were all, “A Jedi would never just hideout on a remote planet and toss away their lightsaber!” And yet, in the first three films, the only things we see Jedi do are hideout on remote planets and toss away their lightsabers.

Throwing it away is literally the last thing we see Luke do with a lightsaber in the original trilogy

I. Love. My. Life.

@GavinWoltjer @johngreenart Thrilled to hear this! Hope she enjoys!

I would like to report a robbery. My littlest little has absconded with both of these titles after I described them to her. (If she only knew that this was my plan from the start…)

There’s no escaping these deliciously creepy tales of everyday horror in ONCE THEY SEE YOU. The perfect Halloween read! @JustJoshAllen @inkymole #mglit

So thrilled about this shoutout for ONCE THEY SEE YOU from The Horn Book! Woo-hoo!!! (And such good company!) #mglit #middlegrade #HorrorStories

Me: I'm going to give up. Writing is too hard. One kid: I love your books! You're my favorite author ever! Me:

@Sharl @Inkymole On it!

@Inkymole The Optimus seems designed to fuel nightmares. @JustJoshAllen will have to write them into his next book!

Why do all the Optimi look like they’re sneaking?

College students come to my office all the time to ask me how they can get published. But they almost never come to my office to ask me how they can learn to write.

When a kid tells you you're their favorite writer: 10/10 When a kid tells you you're their favorite writer in front of your own semi-jaded children: 1000/10

At @spookymgbooks, we firmly believe spooky books should be enjoyed all year long. But even we can admit there’s something a little extra special about reading a them when the days grow colder. Here are top picks for this year’s spooky season. tinyurl.com/spooky-books-f…

@AdamGidwitz @metahatem So cool! Congrats!

Inquisitor’s Tale has just appeared in Italian—and won one of their major children’s book awards! Pretty cool, right @metahatem ? 🙌

@AllyMalinenko Agree! I don’t love allowing “AI assisted work.” That’s a slippery slope! How much “assistance” is okay?

I feel not great about HWA stance on AI for the Stoker

This is Abigail. She lives in my office. She wants you to know that Halloween is 35 days away.

I told my college students I was 50 and chided myself for being old. One girl raised her hand and said, “I hope you’re being gentle with yourself. You’ve done a lot of good and will do a lot more good. So go easy.” It was the third day of class. Man, these kids are alright.

@CiteSomething So brilliant! Such an emotional roller coaster! Buckle up.

UTAH FRIENDS! There's this great opportunity to come heckle me in public! For free! @KingsEnglish

GO, LITTLE BOOK, GO!!! @Inkymole @HolidayHouseBks #mglit #horror #middlegrade

@AllyMalinenko Ally! I’m so thrilled for you! ♥️

That feeling when Stephen King retweets the best news of your life - my cancer treatment is finished after ten long years. I’m free I wish my folks were here so I could tell them ❤️💔❤️
