👏👏👏 This is the kind of difference women in power can make #womeninpower #womensrights #genderequality
Just finished this - really enjoyed it!
This is in fact my most boomer complaint.
#kidlit peeps - how about we avoid saying "celebrate" #bannedbooksweek and instead say "observe" -- censorship is really not something to celebrate. I am open to changing the name to #freedomtoread week, though -- and then I'm all about the celebration! www.wearestrongerthancensorship.org
I can't wait for this FREE conversation with my SCOTUS Book Club pal @katherinelocke.bsky.social and #GigiHoward of Drinks in the Library!

Ouch, good one!
They’re not wrong!
I'm saving for a school trip: Are you an author looking for first pages feedback from your target audience? $10 for 5 pages with feedback on what's keeping my attention, and what isn't. And answering up to 5 story questions by a 12 year old. Note: my mom will review all pages first for my safety. I like historical fiction, mysteries, Hunger Games, Amari & the Night Brothers, fantasy, and graphic novels.
f you're a Kid Lit. author, my daughter would love to read for you to save up for a school trip. Feel free to DM me, or contact me through the from on my website:

So deserving! Just finished this book. Loved it! SONGLIGHT by Moira Buffini. Highly recommend.
y’all know what one of the first nazi book burnings was right?
y’all know why they did it
y’all know trans people were one of their first targets and even the ALLIES left us in the camps when liberating everyone else
y’all see what’s right in front of you, right?
My spouse just described a movie as being "funny and lovely and heisty...like you" and heisty is hands down the greatest compliment I have ever received. #soulmates
Good luck to everyone pitching today! And to all the agents and editors participating – I hope you find some treasure!
Good news on the book ban front! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

My understanding is that international authors CAN join the class as long as their work was published and registered in the US — so you may be eligible even if outside the US.
My husband, asking about my WIP, a mermaid YA novel...
Him: Does your story have much humor in it?
Me: Not as much as I'd like.
Him: Mermaid farts.

A collage of images: an underwater diver with a harpoon gun, a pod of orcas, two mermaids kissing, bioluminescent water in a cave, a woman screaming, a tower of underwater kelp with light shining through. In the centre, the text "Song From the Depths" with the silhouette of a mermaid tail behind it.
Made a #moodboard for my #YA WIP. What vibes does it give you? What do you think the book is about? #amwriting #kidlit #SCBWI

Well that explains a lot…
This sounds awesome
Every guy attending the Oscars should arrive wearing Zelensky’s military outfit instead of Tuxedos. Send a message.
News you can (maybe) use: I'm going to be reopening to queries the first 10 days of every month. (Trying out this new-fangled strategy to keep the volume manageable). And checking the calendar...that means I'm reopening tomorrow, March 1.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Hey, so if you're one of the (too many) laid off federal employees who also writes or illustrates books for kids, I'd love to hear from you. I'm always interested in nonfiction proposals for all age groups within kidlit, and science, math, and history will be even more important soon. #MSWL
Like a wine locker or storage space, but it’s a cozy nook with tons of shelf space where you can store your books AND go to read them. (For urban bookfolk living in tiny apartments). Have I just come up with the best idea? #readersofbluesky #booklover #bookish #writingcommunity #cozyvibes
Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.
