Misread an author's thank you for preorders as a thank you to predators of a book. Dear authors, that's some next-level gratitude worth aspiring to. May your book's predators serve you in unexpected ways.
2022 in freelancing: 17 clients (2 large publishers, 1 small, and the rest individual authors), 2 graduate-level courses taught, 1 training course completed and another started, and yet I want more from this year. Stories keep me hungry.
Whelp, after 2.5+ years of successfully avoiding it, I've got Covid. Luckily I'm well stocked with tea, audiobooks, and friends and family yelling at me to slow down and rest.
So much of editing is just slowing down and thinking about implications and repercussions.
The crickets in response to this question are saying something: More MG books on this topic, please!

Can anyone recommend a middle grade graphic novel that includes a kid character with an eating disorder and/or body image issues? I just heard about SMALLER SISTER and I'm eager to check it out. Anything else?
I was swept away by this book when I read it at an earlier stage, from the blood-soaked prologue to the inferno near the end, with so much simmering longing and enchanting darkness in between. Congrats, @AdalynGrace_!

Me: You could write a story right now if you wanted to. My 3-y-old: I'm gonna do it later when I have more skills and power.

Just received a work email with the accidental sign-off "All my beast," considering responding with "Yours in beastliness,"
Conference hosts, I love you, but when you first meet publishing pros, please avoid saying things like, "You're so young! I could be your mom!" I know you mean it kindly but it's belittling and awkward. Book ppl might look young but inside we are all ancient.
Putting it out there that I adore MG and YA graphic novels, read them constantly for fun, but haven't gotten to edit as many as I'd like. Publishers & authors, if you have a script that needs extra attention, I'll be over here happy to hear from you.

After nearly 5 years of freelancing I am pleased to report that I can now change the toner cartridge in my printer without cursing. Much.
Sent an anonymous mid-semester survey to my grad students asking for feedback re. course workload. Answering the question "Anything else I should know?" one of them wrote, "You're doing great, sweetie!" For the record, I am not their sweetie.
It's 30 degrees outside, our boiler is broken, & I am warming myself with thoughts of the lecture I'll be giving tomorrow on editing books with kissing in them.
If you had to make a reading list to encapsulate where YA publishing is right now. Max 5 books. All from within past 5 years. Range of genres, both debuts & established auths, bestsellers & not. (This is not hypothetical. I'm updating syllabus for a graduate class.) Suggestions?
To that grad student in my class today who said, "I don't know if this is on topic, but developmental editing IS HARD." That is absolutely true. All of publishing is hard. That's what keeps me interested.
Intro to Pub is back for our second year! If you're a BIPOC individual aspiring to enter the publishing industry please apply for our ~*~freeeeee~*~ seminar at bit.ly/scholasticintr…

GULP! Zachariah OHora’s and my picture book THE TEACHER’S PET came out in Simplified Chinese this month, and they chose one of my favorite interior spreads for the cover ♥️
After all this anti-baby discourse I’ve decided part of the reason we’re screwed is that an alarming number of people live in a selective reality where they don’t see death or the elderly and they don’t see birth or babies; they’re stuck in a jello mold of the present tense
I dedicate this tweet to all authors who include dedications in their mss without being chased. --Your editor
Sorry you got it so badly wrong...or just sorry your actions were made public? Immediate transparency= proof of the former. How was the decision made? Why was the Mentor committee not consulted? "Reviewing" your processes--what does that mean, exactly? mediaroom.scholastic.com/press-release/…
This fits in a long tradition of Asian American suffering being weaponized to break solidarity between us and other BIPOC . Intentional or not, this edit seeks to sanitize the experience of Japanese Americans for white consumption and reinforce a narrative of Asian exceptionalism
OK. No more subtweeting. This is what happened. Full story at the link. I'm so disappointed and furious and unsurprised. But I also have receipts. Scholastic wanted to feature my book, but ONLY if I censored the word RACISM from the author's note. prettyokmaggie.com/blog/2023/4/11…
I'm getting a lot of really lovely support and solidarity, which I am so grateful for. And for those who'd like action items: 1. Tell Scholastic how you feel about this. 2. Buy books by POC authors. 3. Support groups like @PENamerica that fight censorship / book banning.
@emteehall This is unacceptable and you’re a badass. Let us know how to help.

If you ever wondered what publishers are doing in the face of school book bans, it's not what you'd hope, and it's exactly what you'd think.
Thrilling this morning to see THREE wonderful Spring books I worked on in NPR: Wolfwood by @mariannabaer, That Self-Same Metal by @BrittanyActs, and Unraveller by @FrancesHardinge!! npr.org/2023/04/06/116…
My favorite high school teacher died this month. It’s her birthday today. On each of our birthdays, she wrote us a letter about all the good qualities she saw in us. You are so anxious to know who you are at that age and she showed us our best selves. Thank you, Ms. Hannah.
I've missed much of this discussion but reading this astute article made me wonder if we need some YA books that are just easier to read? Part of what the mass paperbacks of the past offered, besides a low price point, was very accessible prose and brevity.
Oldest teen has a big charity event at school and needs donations. Me: “Want me to donate a basket of my books and I’ll autograph them?” Him: “Mom, no. We need stuff people are going to bid on.” 🙃
I was today years old when I learned this...from my kid.
Please help: I just finished reading TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW by Gabrielle Zevin and now I can’t imagine reading another book that isn’t this book. Do other books exist? What are they. Please help
At my school visit today, I sucked in a tiny fly down my windpipe, swallowed it, and kept going with the presentation. I would like for that to be a bullet on my resume.
It's coming SO SOON! Like, DAYS now. I'll start posting excerpts and behind-the-scenes tidbits next week...for the better to entice you with.
THE MANY ASSASSINATIONS OF SAMIR, THE SELLER OF DREAMS, by Daniel Nayeri "tender philosophies, complex characterizations, heaps of humor, a masterful twist, and most importantly, just a great story, beautifully told." Full Review: booklistonline.com/The-Many-Assas…
I’m a little tipsy but isn’t this weirdly beautiful? Plastic bag in tree in streetlight. I f’ing love New York.
