Cyd feels utterly unnoticeable...until magic glasses reveal hidden cryptids at the zoo. As he learns about Sea Serpents🐉, Yetis☃️, and Chupacabras🐐#PosterPit #PosterPitQ #PB #LGBT #CL

@bookishmoons Love your PB wishlist. Do you think you’ll ever consider authors, not author/illustrators?

[Nikki @NDVwrites]

@MisterHand1 Thank you! That’s exactly what I wasn’t understanding, appreciate the explanation!

Query tracker question! On an agents query timeline, what does it mean when the cloud ☁️ icons indent?

@DebRocheleau @EditingTales An agent recently called it “ultimately a bit too dark” for their list, if that helps… 😂

[Nikki @NDVwrites]

@LitAgentKatieM Is it better to paginate PB manuscript queries, or not? I’ve gotten conflicting advice.

🖐️Attention all querying authors and agents:

I’ve gotten conflicting advice on paginating manuscripts in queries, specifically picture books. Should we be doing this, or not?

(I’m happy to send an example to any agents who want to compare 😉)

@garnett_nicole Take a pizza class! My husband and I did a pizza and gelato cooking class outside of Florence a few years ago, it was the best evening! We found it through a site called walkabout tours

[Nikki @NDVwrites]

This pick-me-up really couldn’t have come at a better time! Thank you #springflingkidlit hosts, donors, and participants. Contests like this are the best inspiration and motivation to keep on writing 🦋
