Good for you! I knew you would succeed in your quest!

It was encouraging as I just had a book acquired by a small press after parting ways with my agent in March. I agree that the connections we build with editors over time is the fun part of our job.

@mattforrestvw.bsky.social Thank you for the wonderful information during your webinar tonight. Congrats on all of your publishing successes.

Great children’s book alert! Julia Donaldson’s new book provides an entertaining story PLUS facts about this bird AND perfect rhyme is a joy to read aloud. Kiddos will love it! On my buy list.

@golden.house.gov instead of relaxing on a Saturday morning watching my gardening shows, I am freaking out about my loss of voting rights which I have enjoyed since I was 18 yo. I changed my name when I married. Now I may have to jump through hoops to be able to vote.Why did you vote for this?

So let me get this straight — you can’t give out bottles of water for fear of influencing elections, but immigrant billionaires publicly giving out checks to buy them is fine? Make that shit make sense.

Me watching Meet The Press hoping for even a crumb of good news about our democracy and economy. Nope…

This is an amazing tactic. Should be personalized for all of our R leaders.

Can you tell us exactly how you are fighting for us? Can anything be done?

They were all too poofed up with power to see clearly. I think European leaders may have take this over in order to get this right for Ukraine and not give Putin any more power.

We have a lot of added responsibility lately, don’t we? Exhausting!

Respectfully, Mr Schumer, I’m with you but I don’t see much “fighting for ME”.

Stop magnifying the words “constitutional crisis” which is falling on deaf ears to most Americans. Talk about saving our social security &Medicare, decreasing inflation and grocery prices, and stop tax breaks to wealthy at the expense of the rest of us. That will get R’s attention in America.

Loved this book!

February = Nonfiction Fest time! Daily posts by wonderful kidlit authors. Yes, please! I’m in!

Reminds me of the lake we had a family camp on when we were kids. ❤️

Great books!

Celebrating completion of new NFPB. Feels great! Now on to crit group then agent. Cheers to a productive 2025!

Should I call my home office decorating style “creative chaos” or “1st draft/research shambles”? Ugh! So not me.

A playful book cover featuring the title "I'M BORED" in bold blue letters against a light blue background. An illustration of a young girl with pigtails, wearing a striped shirt, leans against the word "BORED" with a disinterested expression. The Junior Library Guild Selection gold seal is displayed in the lower-right corner, highlighting the book's recognition.
