Alana DeVito is querying ✨

@baronchrisbaron I’m sorry for your loss 💗

I wanted to let everyone know my mom-Hyacinthe Kuller Baron, passed peacefully at 88 years old. A renowned artist, friend, feminist, mentor, mother, grandmother, great grandmother & one of the toughest women in the world. Her life & work reached so many. Forever an inspiration.

@baronchrisbaron I agree!!

Whenever I read poems by Ada Limón---poetry is new again.

Welcome Kaitlyn! 🥳

@KaitlynLeann17 Makes sense, thanks!

@alanamayd Happy summer! I think novels in verse are great but not really my jam especially because I’m focusing on more commercial mg

I'm delighted to share that I'm OPEN to #PB and #MG submissions! I just updated my #MSWL. which can be found here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kait… And you can submit with this link: bradfordlit.com/kaitlyn-sanche… Thank you for trusting me with your work and wishing you all the best!

I loved volunteering at my son’s ice cream social / used book sale. So many beauties hidden in the stacks and — seriously — pure joy when kids realized they could buy a paperback for $1!!! Amazing. I got a few gems myself 💗

@baronchrisbaron You can do it!!!! Don’t overthink it just set out to write something crappy and see where it takes you?

Novel deadlines: I got this. But I’m under deadline to write a single poem- and it feels like lifting the weight of the world.

@writeloudly Awww so sweet. Here’s mine when she was a lil pup… She’s got some issues but she’s all 💗

Today is #nationalrescuedogday and I’m so honored to be this little guy’s mama. He has special needs right now; it’s been a rough couple months. But I’d adopt him all over again. He is the sweetest, most lovable pup ever. Look how happy he is to go for a walk!

@MonicaAcker1 @KaitlynLeann17 Love it!!!

@_ashleedani So exciting!!!

The best thing about interning at a literary agency is reading all of these utterly *fantastic* manuscripts before they become books and knowing you’re one of an author’s earliest fans 🥲 Oh, and yes, I’ve started my journey to become a literary agent! Woohoo!

I love reading the @MadnessPoetry entries — and building my vocabulary! Check them all out! (my word was “mulish”) 👀 #WritingCommunity

@halforange @MadnessPoetry Thanks, Hannah!

@alanamayd @MadnessPoetry YAYYYYY Alana!!!! Somehow I hadn’t seen your name on the bracket yet!! Probably too busy writing 😂😂 sooo fun, have a blast with it!!!

I’m participating as an “authlete” for @MadnessPoetry for the first time ever. Voting begins tomorrow! I’m hoping I can make it to Round 2! 🤞 madnesspoetry.com

I’m loving all this querying advice Thanks for asking the question! 💗

@katie_mcenaney @viviankirkfield @pamcour_MyLMNOP @LeahMoserWrites @ShirinsBooks @dianestoy Congrats!!!!
