Very early! No spoilers!!

A yeti with a scarf and orange beanie slides across the room in a dance pose. His scarf trails behind him, wrapping itself into a hand-drawn "whoosh". In the background, there are dance paraphernalia, including a spoof of Dirty Dancing but with unicorns (Unicorns Dancing), a unicorn version of a Degas ballet painting, and dance books (e.g. Tutu Fast, Tutu Furious).

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm Steph, an author-illustrator and former pastry chef from CA. This image is from my debut picture book, The Abominable Snow Dancer, which came out 4 months ago!

Oh I KNEW someone here recced it! It was SO fun. (And made me so hungry omg!!!!!) lovely line level writing and such a fun premise!!

It’s a tough process, I do get it.

I know it’s tough for people to receive feedback, but I also wish that wasn’t taken out on me 🥴

Unfortunately I’m now a little nervous any time I see any kind of reply now 🥴

I hope this may give some context as to why form responses are necessary on my end.

I used to periodically try to offer specific feedback on projects (in addition to the form letter) but I will not be sending personalized feedback on initial queries for the foreseeable future. I received such an abusive response at the beginning of the year that I will not be risking it anymore.

I receive over 200 per week on average and the only way to get back to everyone is to use a form. The same letter goes to everyone, no matter the project.

I’m cross posting here as well re: #querying

I just want to clarify for everyone that my pass on query letters is a form. I take a lot of time to thoroughly review materials, but unfortunately I cannot personalize a response for each query.

Right back at ya! It’s cool to care ✨

No seriously 🥴

Flu A for two weeks and then soon after caught a cold 🥴🥴🥴

I’ve been sick for three full weeks of 2026 already.

I’m begging folks to stay home while sick, or if you have to go out please wear a mask.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

I just got my loan so now I need to speed read!!

If searching for a serial killer is the main action plot that one is probably not going to be a fit for me I’m afraid!

Absolutely!

Oh my gosh I’m enjoying it SO much so far.

Yes, you’ll need to hear from Jodi first before sharing anything with me. Wishing you the best of luck with this!

Everyone has been telling me I’ll love it! I feel so late to the table!!

And maybe turns into a puddle when you give her compliments 🥹🥹🥹
