Okay, let's see how this goes. I'd like to give away two copies of my new middle grade horror, Not Quite a Ghost to educators/librarians. So if you are a #teacher or #librarian and are interested, please respond to this post. #edusky, #skybrarian #kidlit, #schoollibrary
We have 13 mentors this year across picture books (dummies or manuscripts), chapter books, graphic novels (scripts or pages), middle grade, young adult, and portfolio review. Applications open January 10th #Kidlit #LGBTQIA+
Not Quite a Ghost is a middle grade ghost story about a girl who comes down with a #CFS -like illness and is stuck in the bedroom of her new house with its creepy yellow wallpaper--where it seems like she's not alone. It's out *checks watch* Jan. 16!

Hey folks, I could really use some help circulating this on social media and other writerly spaces where they may be LGBTQIA+ kidlit creators. Thanks in advance. Here is the alt text: Queer Kidlit Mentorship March-May 2024 applications open Jan 15-Feb 1. Illustration of overlapping children who are different colors of the rainbow. Different genders. One has a hijab. One glasses. One has crutches and an infinity symbol on their shirt. One is holding a stack of books high. Over them is a rainbow and it says, “Queer Kidlit” signed @tbeardraws (Taylor Barron)
