Thank you, @pbrisingstars.bsky.social, for such a thoughtful application process. It's worth walking through the questions if you need a little jumpstart to articulating who you are as a #kidlitwriter on this🌏:) #amwriting #writingcommunity #kidlitcommunity #scbwi

I want to give the reader the kind of book I want—without plot holes or speed bumps. #Amwriting #Kidlitwriter #WritersLife
