And now that I’m back on Twitter (which, upon reflection, played a crucial part in my publishing journey), I’d like to join so many great colleagues by providing an open offer to do informational interviews with Black aspiring publishing professionals/creators. DM to schedule!

@kellogg_camille HARD SAME except it’s now been a full year for me.

If you need any proof that @DrLindseyFitz and @TealCartoons are the real deal:

Working with @DrLindseyFitz and @TealCartoons on this book has been a blast. With just the right amount of gore and macabre, this trip through history will make you glad to be alive in the 21st century (and grateful for all those PLAGUE-BUSTERS who came before us!).

@LBeguiristain @asiacharden If there’s one thing I miss about the office…

[Sophie Flynn @sophielflynn]

I’ve seen a lot of debuts (& non-debuts!) recently not enjoying being published as they hate marketing and feel like their book isn’t getting noticed and they don’t know what they can personally do. So, here's a v quick list of super-easy things you CAN do...

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

So excited for this book - it’s going to be gorgeous all around!!

[Jem is OPEN to queries! @Jemiscoe]

Congrats, Michelle (@michellieart)!!! This is such an adorably sweet bedtime story, and I can't wait to see the beautiful scenework you create to go with Debbie's beautiful, lyrical text. 🥳🥂

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

@studioroxas @GeorgiaHeard1 @aramkimart @MacmillanKidsUK Amazing, so well deserved!! Congrats, Georgia, Isabel, and team!!

@Two_Desert @sdobinick @allisonm610 @bloomsburykids Such a moving and beautiful book!! ✨💕✨💕

[Zahra Marwan (زهراء) @Two_Desert]

I'm so happy about the release of my debut picture book tomorrow!

Forever grateful to @sdobinick for bringing this book to life! And editors @allisonm610 and @megadoooodle for seeing me through. @bloomsburykids

[Brian D. Kennedy @bdkennedybooks]

Not to be alarmist, but my book, a gay rom-com, was up for pre-order at @Target earlier this year

And now it's gone? Along with some other queer debut books?? While the straight titles from my publisher remain?!

I really hope there's a logical explanation
(besides homophobia)

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

@nicolasoregiron Great news!! ✨

Doing the pomodoro method today, by which I mean working for 25 minutes, then taking a break to snack on some cherry tomatoes.

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

@KatBrzozowski FOMO!!

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

@Bartography So true!!

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

Friendly reminder that “it’s always been like this” is not the response you think it is.

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

@kellogg_camille Wow I need to adopt this perspective. Instead I get consumed by overwhelming dread at the PRESSURE of convincing potential buyers! Clearly I’m not a glass half full person 😂

[Megan Abbate @megadoooodle]

Me, unable to resist the feminine urge to begin this tweet with “friendly reminder that” 😵
