I am so grateful for you, kidlit community.

@alioop7 Congratulations! That’s awesome! 🎉

I had 3 books come out today. 3 brand new books. I'm a very tired editor.

@kellylbeck Right?! Like I’m scared of this possibility!

@melodypendy Omg I think about this ALLLL the time. I’m blind as a bat. Allergic to eggs peanuts and gluten. I would totally die.

I’m considering getting lasik because if for some reason I step through a portal and end up 200 years in the past in the Scottish Highlands, I’m gonna be screwed.

@kellylbeck Congratulations 🙌

TWO FULL REQUESTS IN 24 HOURS! I'm so excited. BUT I want to follow that up with some transparency. 🧵 #amquerying #writingcommunity

I love how it’s the story I always wanted to read!

My toxic trait is thinking, no, an #editor isn’t uninterested in book, they just love it so much that they need a few months to muster up the words to explain their enthusiasm. #authorsonsub #writerscommunity

#Threads users! How is it different than Twitter??

@writes_isa Because I’m low maintenance 😂

Okay I have to ask: Why do you use Microsoft Word or Google Docs for your novel? (Instead of writing software like scrivener, etc.)

Just a reminder that finding the right fit as your literary agent is SO worth the wait. Sweet emails that say things like, “I just feel very lucky that you are my client and I get to read all of your fantastic work,” really hits you in the feels. @litagentamy #queryingauthors

@SarconaStephen Of course!

@melodypendy Ah! That’s what I thought. Thanks!

Let’s be honest, creating aesthetic collages of your books is what makes being an author 🙌 #WritingCommmunity #bookaesthetic

@SarconaStephen Thanks so much! I used Canva!

@melodypendy These look great! What do you use to create them?

@jes_trudel This is so great to see!

I was doing some research in Publisher's Marketplace today and decided to make this graphic to help me visualize the children's book deals announced so far this year. Now, I'm sharing it with you. #kidlit #pb #mg #ya #gn
