I have been sitting on this news for a while, and I can’t wait to share these jaw-dropping stories with readers! Thanks to my agent @StaceyKondla for believing in this project and to editor Tom Russell for sharing my nerdy vision. #NonFiction #middlegrade #WriterCommunity

@DustinNickerson I think the team's media relations people are dying a little every time one of these video clips pops up ...

What do I think about the drama of the Mariners at the World Baseball Classic? I’m stunned that a) there are this many Mariners in the world baseball classic and b) the national media cares about them Dreamed of times like theses 🔱

“Not much rhymes with dinosaur.” Author Sue Lowell Gallion loves a challenge... like #writing a #nonfiction book in rhyme. Read more from this #kidlit author on my Six Questions blog: boonewrites.com/post/six-quest…

@LaurenWise60128 It means you didn't want to work with them anyway.

An agent rejected me after 2 minutes. What does that mean...? #writingcommunity

Last week I got to celebrate my new #middlegrade #book with students at Roosevelt Elementary in #TacomaWA. Today, @tacomaschools shared an article about the event: tinyurl.com/55tj798c

Butt in Chair. #Author Sue Lowell Gallion says mentor Jane Yolen's mantra sticks with her. "That is #advice I always need to hear: Just sit down at the computer or with pencil and paper and #write something." Read more here: boonewrites.com/post/six-quest…

@vixfar @A_Woodley_ It so, so difficult. I think friends and family mean well, but life is busy. I find that other creatives "get it" and are much more likely to leave reviews and you can do the same for them!

@mk_is_writing Big step. Congrats!

I have OFFICALLY sent in my first-ever QUERY LETTER to a real-life AGENT...... insane to think I finally made it this far 🥹 #amquerying

@vickyweberbooks Quick rejections are OK -- far better than never hearing back. But a rejection that comes within 10 minutes of submitting? That's a special kind of OUCH.

What’s one thing you wish agents understood about querying?

I couldn't be more pleased to have #author @PatriciaNewman on my Six Questions blog this week. She's a true pro at creating the kind of #nonfiction #books that curious kids adore! Read it here: boonewrites.com/post/six-quest…

@BigRedGun1 @PaulNewhouser69 @prycesandfort Or 13. Decent. But tonight belonged to the Hawkeyes.

@boonewrites @PaulNewhouser69 @prycesandfort He’s the kid that’s gonna drop 20+ points on Iowa tonight.

Can we all agree that we’re booing @prycesandfort tonight

@KT_Carlisle Love this mindset!

You know what’s really cool? The entire Big 5 is currently reading my manuscript. 🥹 Even if they all end up passing, the fact that they even know my name is bonkers to me. And guess what. They won’t stop seeing my name until I get that yes. 🤭

It's release day for my new middle-grade #nonfiction book UNFATHOMABLE. If you know a young reader who'd like being WOWED by stories of underwater cities, octopus wrestling, or exploding whales, this is the #book for them! penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770932/u…
