Hey #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m Hollie, an illustrator and author.

I always thought I’d be a stage mom, natural progression from theater teacher / director but apparently I’m a sports mom.

Happy to collaborate on pb to middle grade projects! Happy spring!

It's finally time to reveal the #kidlit agent I'm interviewing this week... @laduskevich.bsky.social! Lindsey shares her path to becoming an agent, her plans for her first year, and everything on her #MSWL. Read to the end for a giveaway!

He’s a corgi.

A corgi with a red cap on giving a look that says - I get a treat for wearing this thing right?

I find pitch contest overwhelming. I tend to pop in and out. But supporting everyone’s incredible work made it worth it. Fingers crossed for those who got agent hearts.

A fake email offering a fake deal.

An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals!

This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?!

Please let me know if you receive an email like this!
