HIDDEN TRUTHS X CATERPILLAR SUMMER 12yo Ivy doesn’t want to be Cinderella or give up her room. She wants her best friends to get along and her mom to notice her. What she gets is a snarky grandma and a forbidden crush. And maybe a way to shine. #questpit #q

Amy's Looking For Her Next Client!
🧵I've been meeting with editors all week and asking most of them two questions. 1) What keeps you reading a submission? 2) As far as craft, what advice do you have for authors? And I'm sharing some of that with you today! #writingcommunity #amquerying

STARLINGS IN WINTER (EXCERPT) —Mary Oliver Ah, world, what lessons you prepare for us, even in the leafless winter, even in the ashy city. I am thinking now of grief, and of getting past it; I want to be light and frolicsome I want to be afraid of nothing as though I had wings.

“In November, the trees are standing all sticks and bones. Without their leaves, how lovely they are, spreading their arms like dancers. They know it is time to be still.” ― Cynthia Rylant I'm trying to be still. 🤞 #VoteKamalaHarris2024 #Kidlit

We buried my husband this weekend. We cried. We told stories. We laughed. We wept. In his honor, I offer you this poem by Henry Scott Holland. Read it now or tuck it away for the dark days when you are grieving for one of your own. #blessings #grief #death #widowdom

Stuck in her siblings’ shadow, 12yo Ivy's determined to perform in the talent show to win Mom’s attention, if only she had a talent. But when she ruins her friends' dance act, will she stay in the wings or step into the spotlight w/an unlikely partner? #Questpit #MG #Q

"We are saved only by love — love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend." — Tennesse Williams #screenwriter #WritingCommunity #Kidlit
