@mclairecruz Illustrator here! Adding myself to the rolodex! kaylastark.com

Lately feeling like I'm having trouble sourcing artists (esp unagented) that I can add to my mental rolodex and pitch for book projects. While I don't have a specific project in mind, I want to open my virtual door to artists looking to connect!

🍂THE BELLWOODS GAME🍂 is officially in stores today!! ✨✨✨ Get your copy here: bit.ly/44q72mG Thank you SO much to @AndreaAgency, @Alex_Borbolla, @minjipatterson, Reka Simonsen, @ElBoogieSparks, Jacqui Hudson-Underwood, Clare McGlade & everyone at @SimonKIDS 🧡🖤🧡🖤

@hellomrforrest @jenrofe Eeee good luck!

I WROTE A BOOK!! ✨ my agent @jenrofe and I are going on sub really soon. It’s a whimsical story about childhood that means a great deal to me, and hopefully to many others. Let’s hope it finds a home with a publisher!!🤞🏻 #kidlitart #WritingCommunity #kidsbook #picturebook

Young readers in Mississippi now losing access to ALL books via Overdrive & Libby due to book banners. This is absolutely devastating for kids who don't live near physical libraries. bookriot.com/hoopla-overdri…

Same. 😂

@denisangelov_ Ah yay!!!!! I can’t start a piece without them 😅🙌 This is so good!

Detail + thumbnails. Shoutout to @StarkKayla 's newsletter for reminding me just how important spending a few minutes doing thumbnails could be!

Happy Friday, folks! I hope we all get to be bunnies enjoying a nice picnic this weekend. 🐇

@heyimjarvis That sucks! I'm sorry 😣 I always looked forward to seeing your posts. This is such an annoying problem too many artists have had to deal with.
