Another novelist's success encouraged children's author Wendy White (@Wendy_J_White) to publish an adult novel as Sara Gethin (@SGethinWriter), and she's so grateful for that nudge. ow.ly/8lmX30lHaVk #authorQA #childrenslit #kidlit #childrenswriter #literaryfiction

I still have more queries to hear back from, plus more to send out. I’m not giving up!

I have a picture book out on submission which is thrilling. It’s great to be back in the mix after years in the wilderness. Burnout was real, but the refresh is wonderful. What is going on in your writerly world today? #kidlit #kidlitwriter #childrenswriter #kidsbooks #kidswriter #author #scbwi

Hey there! My first post on BlueSky. I’m returning to writing after a long break. I had successes and losses and needed a reset. I feel refreshed and energized with new ideas. I’m excited to write again. #kidlit #childrensbooks #kidlitwriter #childrenswriter
