Agent 1: I want to know the MC better before the inciting incident.
Agent 2: There is no time for ramp-up; show me the stakes right away.

A reminder that this is so subjective. Hang in there!

Thrilled to share the cover for my upcoming pb bio about Jewish South African freedom fighter Ruth First, illustrated by Gabhor Utomo. It follows Ruth's journey from her early call to action to joining the fight against Apartheid. Fall 2023! #kidlit #picturebooks #jewish #read🇿🇦

Woah crazy footage of a ‘tense encounter’ between orcas and humpbacks yesterday morning in the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Observers said it was hours of breaching and loud vocalizations.

I love working at #WritersHelpingWriters with @AngelaAckerman, @beccapuglisi & all the amazing Resident Writing Coaches.

It's been an incredible year...and I'm thrilled to celebrate the current (and past) Resident Writing Coaches.

My daughter had nothing to do with me for 7 years when I was using drugs. At 9 years clean I got to babysit my grandson last night for a couple of hours!

I request a brief query and the first 30 pages of your completed and polished manuscript.

[Kelly Dyksterhouse @KellyDHouse]

Hello, #amquerying #kidlit authors! I will be closing to queries at the end of the day Friday, Sept 2 in preparation for fall travel and conference season. I have a good many queries and fulls to get through and am trying to respond in a timely manner.

[Kimberly @books4kimberly]

#MSWL Time: First and foremost, I’m looking for manuscripts from all voices and backgrounds for the genres specified on my list. The following are MSs I would be especially interested in and only means these will go to the top of my reading list (if I’m not already caught up).
