BUG-NAPPED: THE BIRTH OF A STORYTELLER Bonnie is a regular pill bug until the day the rock moves, little fingers scoop her up and toss her in a cage. Bonnie must survive bug jail, find her way home, and discover her new purpose. #PBPitch #HA

Sir Zeke loves fighting dragons, but the boy knight is terrified of vegetables! When Zeke discovers the asparagus in his dinner are DRAGON TAILS, he calls upon his knightly courage- slash, pierce, flatten! But the tails remain until Zeke knows he’s brave. #PBPitch #HA

@Jess_a_Roux Love this perspective shift. Reminds me of Truman, a personal favorite!

A loyal dog spends every day training his young human, but when he woke up today, his human was gone! As he frantically searches town for his lost friend he is reminded of just how well trained his boy is, if only he can find his way back home! #PBPitch #FirstDayofSchool 🐶🚍

@HollieWolverton Haha, sounds like a funny story!

@CKMalone2 thanks for the great post on #FirstDraftFriday. Today a story that's been percolating all summer made it's way to the page or screen and onto a few post it notes too :)

Take a peek at the first share from the 12 x 12 Summer Illustrator Challenge! 🎨 #12x12PB member Molly Cranch knocked this one out of the park by showcasing ALL of the characters AND a #LittleFreeLibrary 📖 Great work, @MollyCranch! #illustration

Why were the people with disabilities mentioned in this article not interviewed? It's about parents' planning retirement, sure, but their voices were omitted, ignored, excluded. Do better, #NYTimes #ableism #diabilitytwitter nytimes.com/2022/08/27/bus…

@elawreads I read this today and felt the same! As a not yet published author with several stories on submission, I’m relieved you think it’s unrealistic too!

I'm sorry, but this article is a joke. She had worked at PW, "a mutual friend recommended she email Meredith Kaffel Simonoff"--this is not a typical story about how someone who didn't know anything about publishing got published! It sounds way too easy. nytimes.com/2022/08/25/boo…
