#SmallPitch begins in only 6 hours! It will remain open for 48 hours, so there's no rush to submit. Double-check that pitch and your submission before hitting the submit button. Pitches are displayed randomly to editors so again, no need to rush. Just don't miss the deadline 😊

Got my pre-release copy of my great pal's brand new #picturebook It's absolutely stunning! She's not on here, but go check out Hannah E. Harrison's, THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND THE STUBBORD SHEEP published by @HCChristianPub It's on discount for a few more days! amazon.com/Good-Shepherd-…

#AuthorsOfTwitter #writingcommunity #kidlit #picturebooks #askanagent We have an author looking for #PB comps for a #STEAM #biography about Leonardo da Vinci, or any other artist for the 4-7 yr range. Can anyone help out??!!

I did it again! Here are the 2023 numbers from Publishers Marketplace for children's deals, broken down by age category and type #PB #CB #MG #YA #GN. These are *announced* deals, so can't account for pub pros not using PM (rare), delays for illustrated works (common), etc.

Sisterly love! ♥️♥️

@PatZMiller The green sweater with hand-on-chin is lovely, but the brown on brown is magic to me! Can’t go wrong with any though!

I had formal pictures taken by Miriam Bulcher recently, and I'm so happy with the results. Which should I use for my next book? (And, check Miriam out if you need pictures: miriambulcherphotography.com)
