Hosting #kidlitsummercamp takes me out of my comfort zone. 3 reasons I am doing it anyway:
1) the book world is hard, especially right now, and we could all use encouragement
2) I love connecting people and ideas
3) I get to chat with amazing #kidlit folks
Join us. Will be fun!

I had a blast talking all things structure in #kidlit with my friends and fellow book coaches @SharonSkinner56 and @ChristyYaros. They even encouraged me to display my nerdy side 😊
