Yes, I was only able to open for one day. I now have over 400 submissions to read so I want to take the time to focus on each of them. I'll post again when I catch up and am ready to open again.

Memoirs can be tough to sell unless you have a big platform (it's possible to see it, it's just tough). Send the picture book.

OMG, I'm loving these cat photos! So excited to see today's #MSWL submission in my inbox. I'll stay open until I wake up tomorrow morning, 4:30am Eastern. Send me your #YA, #MG, #PB and Adult and Kid #NF.

And keep the cat photos coming!!

Maybe! Would love to take a look at the query if you don't mind sending.

My sophomore novel COPE FIELD was named a Printz Honor Book today. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude to far too many people to name here. I want to say that never in my wildest dreams would I have believed this could happen, but I have always dreamed big. And you should, too.

Last night, 4 people were shot and killed and another was wounded by an AR-15 style rifle in a New York City office building.

It was the 254th mass shooting this year. We’ve passed an assault weapons ban in 10 states—including New York. But Nevada—where the shooter is from, does not have one.

And yet Republicans want to make New York LESS SAFE by passing nationwide permitless carry in Congress and striking down state assault weapons bans in the Supreme Court.

Shame.

Over 2500 people (not including the hundreds of cars that drove by and honked in support) showed up in Rockland County #NY17 to declare there will be #NoKings in the US. "No Faux-King Way!" Kudos to @indivisrockland.bsky.social for an awesome event. @indivisible.org

“Simpson’s frank, unflinching portrait of two defiant teens struggling to transcend brutal violence is a crackling alchemy of baseball and punk rock that shook me, made me cheer, and kept me up all night. A rare, relentless, gorgeous gem of a novel, recommended for anyone who's ever had something to fight.” —Sarah Lariviere, author of Time Travel for Love and Profit
