Feeling inspired to share my #50preciouswords entry. Thank you for organizing, @viviankirkfield.bsky.social! Hey #kidlit #writers! Let's have fun while #querying. #agents: anyone like to #sail or read about outdoor adventures? I've got a whole lot more in store, unfurled and ready like Brigantine...
Are any other #NESCBWI members struggling to access the registration for the Fall Agent-Editor Day? On pins and needles over here. #kidlit #amquerying
@constantinstep.bsky.social Thank you!
I am honored my poem, "Is this your first?" can be found in the most recent issue of The Lily Poetry Review. It has been a dream journal for some time now. #poetry
Congratulations @rooph.bsky.social!
Thank you!
Can you recommend any picture book mentor texts that pair rhyming couplets with lyrical prose to tell the story? Thanks!
Congrats to the winners, runners up and fellow honorable mention recipients!
Thank you!
So thrilled to receive this Honorable Mention! A huge thank you to the leadership team at @pbrisingstars.bsky.social and to all the mentors for your time and efforts! Congrats to the winners!
I can't believe the big day is finally here! I've been so enjoying learning about the #pbrisingstars.bsky.social community this year as a first-time applicant! Best of luck to everyone!
Any other #kidlit writers on pins and needles as we await the HMs for the 2025 #PBPARTY?! The big reveal is tonight, right?!
Totally me as I obsessively check email/query tracker after submitting to some dream agents! Better get back to those WIPs again to keep busy. #kidlit #amwriting #amquerying

A huge thank you to @viviankirkfield.bsky.social and all of the #50preciouswords judges for awarding by little story, SUNFLOWER, RISE, an Honorable Mention! I resurrected this one from a very old "shelf-for-later" file and I'm grateful the contest nudged me to do so.
Our pleasure :) It was great to meet you and your daughter. And I'm glad we got there early since every seat was filled!
My son and I loved @carriefinison.bsky.social's read-aloud of PIGS DIG A ROAD at Maxima Book Center in Lexington today. We were on the edge of our seats for every page turn! And a chance to wear a construction hat over treasured blue bang bows? Yes please! Thank you for the inspiration, Carrie!

Hooray for #PBRisingStars! Thank you @ebonylynnmudd.bsky.social, @laylafallah.bsky.social, @booksbytrenise.bsky.social and @kaileipewbooks.bsky.social for the amazing opportunity. The application process itself was a great reward. And what a supportive group! #neurodivergent #kidlit #writer
I know! I keep checking her blog 🤣 I thought I read somewhere it would be the first day of spring this year?
I think we’re supposed to hear today or tomorrow maybe?
With my toddler on spring break, a teething, feverish baby, and the start of a new writing class, I'm down to the wire on my #PBRisingstar applications... Really feeling the juggle. Even still, the process of applying is so empowering! #kidlit
