Hey guys! I just typed "The End" on my #MG Elf Punk manuscript for Edison Skrooluse and the Junkyard Bodyguard (42K words)! Post-apocalyptic, inventor-kid in an orphanage full of fae refugees, builds a 7-foot robot that comes to life....
OK, who wants to read it?

No one told me that when you finish writing a series you'll feel a little sad about saying a final goodbye to those characters.
Why did no one warn me??

A THIRD Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW for the wonderful Flash Gang Adventure series by Downing Waugh : "A third series installment that offers compelling storytelling with emotional depth and chilling suspense." #mgbookchat www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...
yippee!! i'm happy to help out with #MGBookChat wherever needed :D
I think there might be some discussion of maybe doing #MGBookChat once a month here, but we'll see what happens.
There was a chat called #mgbookchat that ran every week and I absolutely loved it! I was so sad when it went away.
I just opened my copies of the German edition of Spellbinders: The Not-So-Chosen One, and they are absolutely beautiful! Loewe is treating the series with such care, and I couldn't be happier.
Available February 13, 2025.

#KidLitChat I found my first critique partners through PitchWars. I've also connected with CPs from @highlightsfound.bsky.social workshops, and just finding that someone's story sounds super awesome and reaching out (or them reaching out to me!) Like Scott #MGBookChat on X was a great way to connect
Great to see you Scott! Almost like #MGBookChat days!
To be honest, #KidLitChat and the old #MGBookChat were my first successful interactions with online communities. (I'm pretty reserved and offline, usually, so these were a big deal for me.)
Midwest Book Review for Laurie Schneider's GITTEL: "Original, skillfully crafted, emotionally engaging, and an inherently interesting coming-of-age story blended with an immigration-themed tale of hardship, prejudice, hope, and happy endings." #mgbookchat
