Bursting with some news... I'm *thrilled* to have signed with an absolute dream of an agent, the incredible @Rachel_petty_ at @TBP_agency in London!
I couldn't be happier to have found my way to such an amazing literary home. 📚🎉

Loving the #LittleWomen thinkpieces...still mulling over this one. So true about “sentimental attachment to stories of young women about to bloom” & how Marmee’s anger “should be a central part of this story about creativity, love, home, and world-making.”

I am a lucky bum who got her hands on the new #LittleWomen movie, and as a diehard fan of the 1994 version, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. What a fresh, relevant, beautifully done retelling, yet completely… https://t.co/zZo9aGFunf

So much that resonates in this #AnneofGreenGables piece.
"Real, working motherhood—isn’t pretty. While Bertha might have been beautiful and expressive, she isn’t the one who is able to give Anne stability or education or a moral centre. It’s Marilla..." https://t.co/WDeMoRUchX

Get out the kleenex again. A follow-up to that beautiful TIME article about children, sadness & books, this time by #KateDiCamillo. We reread #CharlottesWeb not because we think it will turn out differently, but for the feeling we are not alone. #whyweread https://t.co/vpMIqM0gLS

Just in time for #InternationalWomansDay, finally we have a @HistoricaCanada video about Lucy Maud Montgomery, a writer who's meant so much to me & a woman who still inspires so many with her words. #AnneofGreenGables #LMMontgomery #HeritageMinute #canlit https://t.co/pDU5bNUP0Y

Ack! Apologies, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board of Ontario... this tweet was somehow written by my 22-month-old. And is apparently in Turkish. #toddlers #toddlertweets #parentingfails #myphoneisnotmyown

@TeresaRobeson Thanks @TeresaRobeson :)

When your other half offered to do all the childcare so you could write all weekend, but instead you all caught a stomach bug of doom, wept, and were very gross.

Tears in my eyes. Beautiful article about children, sadness and books.
"Many other facets of diversity remain in the shadows... for those who’ve yet to experience that kind of sadness, I can’t think of a safer place... than inside the pages of a book...

Researching character names and accidentally fell down an internet rabbit hole concerning Friedrich Bhaer from #LittleWomen. Man, is that guy dull on the page. #TeamLaurie, obviously.

Heartbroken. A profoundly good person, a warm and loving editor, colleague, friend, and mentor to so many. An indescribable loss. https://t.co/DF6OhGcdrQ
