"I always want to offer a peek into some kind of neurodivergence because those are the books I could have used when I was a kid": @EmilyBarthIsler on how her own neurodivergence impacts her work, including her middle grade novel ‘The Color of Sound’ https://t.co/TTO3QFnpeD
@joannelipman Just finished the book and loved it. The real-life stories were so inspiring - and put patience in perspective. As a magazine editor in the midst of reinvention, it truly resonated. Thank you!
"Her father was so concerned about her prospects that he paid for a full-day career test that flagged her potential as a park ranger."

Loved your podcast about the psychology of fiction, @AdamMGrant and @jenlynnbarnes. Having spent many years focused on child psych at Parents Mag, I'm now writing MG fiction. You talked about what's most satisfying for YA readers. Are there any other key factors for MG?
@MSWLMA@JillSantopolo And encouragement that following your curiosity can lead to compelling books. We can't always write what we know...we need to explore and share new territory without fear.
Great author advice from @JillSantopolo on @MSWLMA podcast: Save 10% of your advance to spend on marketing your book, whether it's a fun launch party or billboards on commuter trains. A reminder that promoting your book is part of your job and you're entitled to spend $ on it.
I got to read the ARC of @LDamour's fabulous next book, THE EMOTIONAL LIFE OF TEENAGERS (Ballantine, Feb), and she was kind enough to share her best advice about surviving this season. 💪

It will be interesting to follow the public-access Post45 Data Collective's findings...
@bjmillermd@andersoncooper@feliciapatinkin@bjmillermd I just listened to your conversation with @andersoncooper and am so glad I happened to find it. Carter was a childhood friend mine through high school and even though we'd lost touch in his last years, my memories of him as a very special person stay with me.
