a photo from the audience view of Sophie Blackall giving the closing keynote at the SCBWI Winter 2025 Conference in New York, the slide above her an illustration of her note to herself and us, "Give voice to your own astonishment" surrounded by drawings of a lighthouse, whale, child characters, and more all donee by the artist herself.

#kidlit Inspiration from Sophie Blackall at #SCBWIwinter25 on what she reminds herself and what we need to do as creatives: "Give voice to your own astonishment" - Brilliant!

#kidlit wisdom from @padmatv.bsky.social at #SCBWIwinter25 Talking about what's seen and what's unseen in your scene - "It is in the space between the words that we meet our characters."

Author goal level unlocked: THE GENDER BINARY IS A BIG LIE is a Golden Kite Finalist (nonfiction for older readers)! Look at what great company it's keeping... #kidlit #grateful #scbwiwinter25

#kidlit inspiration from @erinentrada.bsky.social at #SCBWIwinter25 "We want to connect with young readers, make them feel seen, feel safe." But what if your book is about a farting chicken? "If your book has made child laugh, you have accomplished something."

#kidlit wisdom on world building from @tiffliao.bsky.social at #SCBWIwinter25 Your job: "make us homesick for a place we've never been."
