If someone wrote a novel about a president on trial for paying off a porn star and the first witness was named "Pecker," you'd hand that back for a rewrite.
Recently received an offer of representation from an agent. How did you review it? Did you have it looked at by an attorney? Any tips? #WritingCommunity #kidlit

#RevisionTip Looking for ways to streamline text? In most cases you can easily cut phrases like “I saw,” “she glanced,” etc. Ex: I saw the girl carve a letter “G” on her desk. ➡️The girl carved a letter “G” on her desk. (We know the protagonist witnessed the act.) #amrevising
Why is @espn not showing South Carolina fans when they do well but will flash to Iowa fans when they score a big bucket?
Tomorrow (Thursday, April 4) at 11am EDT /10am CDT /9am MDT /8am PDT, we'll be talking with @HighlightsFound about Just Do It, our upcoming two-month online creative support group. Registration and info at highlightsfoundation.org / workshops / online courses
This is how @Wendy handled this. They took it offline to protect their image, which I did in good faith. Then no follow-up. They got their money from me. My fault, I messed up I trusted them.

#WriteTip Stuck on a plot point? Try brainstorming three possible outcomes, staring with the expected. Then brainstorm a possibility that might surprise the reader, but also make sense, given the character's feelings. Choose one that creates the most drama. #amwriting #amrevising

Hooray! I just finished my May first draft about twin goats named Lavender and Lemonade. This makes story #10 for the year ☺️ I wouldn't be nearly as prolific if it weren't for #12x12pb 💕
300+ students at A.N. Pritzker School in Chicago. Many of them letting the world know they they are ready to do BIG things. To say it was an honor to share Sydney's Big Speech with them today would be a massive understatement. #sydneysbigspeech @HarperChildrens
Today, 9yo announced that he has tried ketchup and actually likes it. 🎉 This was after years of him looking at it like 👀😬

Lots of takeaways from the @SCBWI_SoBreeze #WIK24 sessions! I even got to facilitate one. 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I was nervous at first, but @tkread had my back 🫶🏽 and @KTerrette made it easy. 💜 #KidLit @TanisiaTeeMoore @GordonCJamesArt @GoGirlsGoBooks @MelissaJMiles
It's possible to be simultaneously terrified by the arrests of the protestors and also terrified by some of the rhetoric you hear at the protests. You don't have to pick.
Reading nonfiction aloud with kids— everyone is in on the discovery 😊
Thank you @nicolakidsbooks for this wonderful quotation. I couldn't have said it better myself. #kidslovenonficitontion @SteamTeamBooks
Congratulations! Yes. Have your contract reviewed. It's the norm. And make sure you interview clients. It's great to land an agent, but make sure they are a good fit for you, your vision, and your needs. It's literally a marriage that may yield book babies. Choose carefully! ❤️
Recently received an offer of representation from an agent. How did you review it? Did you have it looked at by an attorney? Any tips? #WritingCommunity #kidlit
@ChadandDadRich Yay! Congrats! I found a great document online. It might’ve been from the Author’s Guild. If I can find it I’ll email it to you.
The cure for food poisoning's apparently a stellar review from @KirkusReviews! My debut picture book, The Quacken (illustrated by Pablo Pino, @SimonKIDS) to be described as "pitch perfect tension" & "a hilariously over-the-top read-aloud." WHAT?! kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/j…
@ChadandDadRich Congratulations! This is an excellent article: authorsguild.org/resource/an-au…
This book is on shelves next month @penguinkids @KokilaBooks 💜For all the young Black girls that have a lot to say... keep talking baby! Pre-order this debut from educator Ashley Iman, illustrated by @gladysjosedraws: bit.ly/3xzG1Se
Wow the students are inspiring me! 🥹👏🏽💪🏽✊🏽
Thrilled for this huge personal win: Honorable Mention in the 2024 #PBParty among 55 finalists & 25 in the Illustration Showcase out of nearly 1100 entries. Huge thanks to the judges, special shoutout to @MindyAlyseWeiss, CPs, and writing friends for their support! #KidLitAgent
If someone wrote a novel about a president on trial for paying off a porn star and the first witness was named "Pecker," you'd hand that back for a rewrite.
It's been a rough year, w/ my spectacular dad facing dementia. Connecting w/ you and your students is source of joy for me — and for him. Last week, he listened in on virtual school visit. He loved every second, esp. the kids' questions. He hasn't stopped talking about it. ❤️
I read right past my entry on the list! Thanks to @MindyAlyseWeiss for sending a WAKE-UP email this AM and to everyone involved for so much hard work! @mescobarart @GDavisBooks @BrittanyPomales @SylviaiChen
