@LizLazarLit I sent you a DM.

Hi #picturebook #pb #writers, our monthly Zoom critique group seeks a new member! Fridays 11:15am - 1:15pm EST. We're seeking someone who's either agented, traditionally published or both. Here’s my #12x12 forum post for more info: juliehedlund.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/3... #kidlit #critique

@LizLazarLit I signed up on the 12x12 site just now. I'm interested in your critique group opening. Thanks.

Just completed the audiobook of The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin. WOW! Loved it! Hope kids in grades 4 - 8 get to read this amazing book.

@MindyAlyseWeiss Reading. Long hikes with my dog. Playing with children. Walking a beach. A new adventure.

How do you refill your creative well, #PBParty? 🌟I'm always inspired by writing workshops & critique groups. 🌟Spending time with animals is the best--and often gives me book ideas. 🌟Time with friends and family. 🌟I love nature and beach walks. 🌟Playing games.

Join me at the Carrollton BookFest in Carrollton, GA on April 4th for a full day master class on writing and marketing a children's book. Then on April 5th, enjoy the other authors as they share their personal stories.

@AgathaChocolats @AnneLeBlanc2 Hold on. I'm coming.
