Yessss! This book is SO GOOD and single-handedly made me afraid of caves for the rest of my life. Go buy it!!

[Margot Harrison @MargotFHarrison]

We Made It All Up is out today! This is a book for the teenage girl I was, who wanted desperately to be on stage but was also terrified of attracting attention because sometimes it led bad places. So she poured things out on the page instead.

[Rachel Carter @RachelCarterYA]

Happy launch day to @yvonnewoon & IF YOU, THEN ME! This book is somehow both charming and emotionally gutting in the best way - plus it has a whip-smart, flawed heroine. Check it out! https://t.co/4kmBevJswo

[Rachel Carter @RachelCarterYA]

Yay! So excited for my workshop buddy @MargotFHarrison! This book is SO good y’all

[Margot Harrison @MargotFHarrison]

I’m so excited to announce my third book, WE MADE IT ALL UP, coming summer ‘22!

It’s a small-town murder mystery that’s also about friendship, the dark passages in our hearts, and the wonder/danger of storytelling. Plus Les Mis fandom and caves! 😱

[Rachel Carter @RachelCarterYA]

Y'all gotta quit lying to young writers and telling them they need to write everyday. Nah, y'all need to go watch a movie. Listen to folklore. Talk to your friends. That's what's going to make the work sing. I think we forget that being a human is central to being an artist too.

[Rachel Carter @RachelCarterYA]

I love it when students call me Prof. Yes I am your cool laidback teacher who doesn’t care about full labels. Yes I might jump on a desk to read you poetry. Yes this jacket does have tweed elbow pads thanks for noticing.

@RedwanHuda @turbovax You just need to keep checking the Turbovax page - they post appts as they become available & you follow those links. But the spots go really fast, so you need to be really quick. I saw that it seemed like appts come up most often at midnight and around 8am. Good luck!

[Rachel Carter @RachelCarterYA]

I COULD NOT get a vaccine appointment at all in NYC. It was a full time job to keep refreshing the 10 different portal sites & calling locations. Found out about @turbovax and got an appointment in a few days. Just want to spread the love - honestly a life changing account!

[Rachel Carter @RachelCarterYA]

@ros_weinstein @turbovax I found it works best at midnight and around 8 in the morning. I had luck on Sunday at 9am, but it took some hunting through Twitter since people were posting direct links in the threads. Good luck!!

[Rachel Carter @RachelCarterYA]

@adrianna_ukaj @turbovax But I’ll also say that I found out about it on Friday, lazily checked the Twitter feed a few times in the morning and evening, and had an appointment by Sunday. So...it definitely works!
