Haven’t been on here in a minute but I’ve got some ✨news✨

I’m thrilled to officially be assisting the absolute powerhouse and badass that is @jenazantian!!

And don’t worry, I’m still actively an agent at ALA. 😉

Here’s to new ventures, growth, and so many more books!

[Jennifer Azantian @jenazantian]

I am so furious about the @InkyardPress situation. The poor team over there! My poor clients! What a casually cruel way to handle this. A mass email?! Did we not learn our lesson about mass emails?!?! I don’t know where to even put how ragey I am right now.

Made a quick comic to work through some depression bouts. My friend suggested that life would be so much easier if we could blow dust from our brains like we did for game cartidages. They're right.

Writing about myself was the hardest - & easiest - part of writing this book! @mcmsharksxx The most important shift I had to make was thinking about page flow & the page-to-page reading experience. @DevinElleKurtz https://t.co/ivcyc2TJiG #interview #kidlit

One of new favorite books is Mother of Sharks by the amazing @mcmsharksxx and illustrated by the talented @DevinElleKurtz 🦈

I’m so excited to share this one from @penguinrandom with our readers this month. It’s the perfect mix of autobiographical and fantastical as Melissa shares her fascinating story. It will take readers through a beautiful journey through the wonders of the ocean and share the importance of marine conversation. 🌊

I put together a choice board for our readers to learn more about Melissa and sharks with #PebbleGo and eBooks. I’ll put this in the front of the book with a short url and QR code.📚
