@author_laurenk @adriamgoetz This ^^
Not much else you can do. Rejection stinks but it is what it is.

[Jasmine Ann Smith is a PBParty Finalist @JASmithWriter]

@adriamgoetz Nah just rip the bandaid off so we can move on. If anyone is hurt by that they’ll never make it through the query trenches anyway.

[Jasmine Ann Smith is a PBParty Finalist @JASmithWriter]

@adriamgoetz No response to a request for more work/full. I get it if you can’t respond to every query—those numbers are crazy. But the agent asked to be sent this material. Doesn’t even need to be detailed, although nice if it is of course.

@shawnproctor I visited Assateague Island for the first time last year--it's a whole vibe.

@jes_trudel How the Dinosaurs Went Extinct by Ame Dyckman and illustrator Jenn Harney. I guess TECHNICALLY the lesson is don't pick your nose and eat it or you might die...

@AllyMalinenko Isn't casting Jenna Ortega a little too on the nose?
But in seriousness, I'm super excited. If Catherine O'Hara is in then so am I.

@reedandwriteki1 Haha! This is how I look when I vacuum too.

@kidlitjenny Yes plz!

@JEngelMattern I did this during the height of the pandemic, when family vacations and conferences were not an option. I still think about my little cabin (with a hot tub!) I wrote, meditated and did yoga. I think I did not speak out loud for 3 days. So awesome!

Practicing drawing comics because they use panels similar to how picture books use page turns. They are EXTREMELY stupid, full of bad dad jokes or #punny, making them unfit for the public. I’m making an exception today because my trees came out so cute. #PictureBooks #arteveryday

@rew_erin I never thought of it like that but…yeah. Truth.

[Jasmine Ann Smith is a PBParty Finalist @JASmithWriter]

@fabandfamous1 I only died a little. I’m done now 🤪

[Jasmine Ann Smith is a PBParty Finalist @JASmithWriter]

Dying. Excited! I informed my family right after breakfast that I had to go tweet verrry important things and they had to fend for themselves now. Thank you to all the judges for your insane amount of work and love. #PBParty
