How to Pitch Your Book If You're an Introvert | The Manuscript Academy Pitching your book doesn't have to be terrifying. Learn the exact formulas agents use — plus introvert-friendly ways to practice — so you can walk into any pitch feeling ready.

Right now, flipping between Burn Baby Burn by Meg Medina and What The Woods Took by Courtney Gould and listening to Anxious People and Bunny. I like to have options 🤣

I’m just happy to see the word cryptid and hope to see it on more folks’ mswls in the future. I have a YA horror on the back burner I’d love to return to one day…

There’s a kid out there who needs your book. Maybe to know they aren’t alone or that there’s more possible than they imagined. To learn something new, visit an old friend, or make a new one. Maybe they just need a smile on a tough day. There’s a kid out there who needs your book. Write for them.

@yatllive.bsky.social Hi! We were in AMM together. I have a question for you that I don’t want to ask “out loud.” Can you email me at niki.g82 at gmail?

TOPIC: Tonight we're hitting the #kidlit classics. Can you point to the stories that inspired you to pursue a career in books for children? What about the ones you missed early on and have come to admire as an adult? #kidlitchat

And we've got our own Starter Pack now!! Click and follow below for updates from our fabulous authors/illustrators! 👇

I haven’t attempted an #askkidlit here in a long time, but I’m up for trying. Use the hashtag. Let’s get smarter together.

Yeah, my Twitter (I refuse to call it that other name) account has been gone for over a year. I definitely made the right call. It’s nice to see more action over here after, uh, recent events. Hopefully, the trend will continue!
