@elawreads @HolidayHouseBks This one has sidebars. Great book! bookshop.org/p/books/the-le…

Hivemind, I need mentor nonfiction picture books with sidebars. I get manuscripts submitted that way, and often work with private clients on ms.s with sidebars, yet @HolidayHouseBks hasn't done a single one in more than 10 years, and our nonfiction wins a lot of awards. [1/2]

@Murphyrhymer @mlindorice @LCSLiterary Perfect!!!

This is a gift from my daughter, Maggie, putting an exclamation mark on my recent fantastic news! @mlindorice @LCSLiterary #amwriting

@Tenderhrtdteach @12x12Challenge I’ve been a member for years. There are many ways to connect and grow. You CAN participate in everything but the offerings are so generous that I’d be overwhelmed and so I personalize my experience in terms of my needs at the time. It’s my writing family!!!

Not sure that my PBs are polished enough for #pbpitch tomorrow. So I might sit this one out. But, I really want to join the @12x12Challenge. Is joining worth it?! #childrensbooks #writerscommunity
