Whoop!!! I was feeling so down today about my writing journey then got this surprise!!
My story βHammock Daysβ was a winner in the #springflingkidlit contest!
Thank you to @Ciaralovesbooks and @KaitlynLeann17 and all of the people who donated to this contest!!
Anyone know of upcoming submission opportunities to Calkins Creek? I know Thalia Leaf used to attend the Twitter Pitch parties but since they are no moreβ¦
Iβm not an agentβ¦ but can I request an adult novel with a MC as the girl with the green ribbon?? β€οΈ #someonewritethis!
Are #PB agents suddenly all switching to repping adult? Why? π
Thank you!
Anyone know when the next PBPitch is happening? Will it be here on Bluesky? Or Twitter? #pbpitch
I remember reading this story! Congrats Nadine! β€οΈ
@writessue.bsky.social I read your #50preciouswords entry (congrats on making the winners list) and I absolutely loved your story! I hope it becomes a book! β€οΈ
I also love how you related writing to a river and revising to chiseling away at marble! Great visuals!
Omg! Just watched the replay of this webinar that @loveleemonicaa.bsky.social did! Absolutely loved it and loved her approach to revisions! Will definitely be using the red light/ green light method!
Iβm super bummed that my story didnβt make it into the #pbparty showcase BUT I will still read the winners and support the authors and illustrators who made it! PLUS seeing the agents & editors who request work/genres similar to mine gives me an idea of who to submit to! β€οΈ

Literary agents + Writers...
We're holding our first #MSWL day over on Bluesky!
Not aware of hashtag#MSWL days? It's when agents post their current wishes for their inbox. This is fabulous data for querying writers.
Hope to see you there!
Anyone else entering Susanna Hillβs Valentiny Contest?? Also, I heard that today is #mswl day!
I did it!!! Got it entered!! π€π€π€ #PBParty
Finding agents open to PB (author only) queries right now is toughβ¦. Do you think itβs still too early in the year?? Are people still on vaca?
Whatβs worse than your 13th birthday?
Your 37th.
Ask me how I knowβ¦
I DID IT!!! I sent my first query after parting ways with my agent! It is so nerve wracking to be back in the query trenches!
11 days and counting until I can query again! Gearing up by working on a query letter today! #amquerying #WritingCommunity
Why do have have all these marketing and inspirational speakers suddenly requesting to follow me on here? Anyone else getting this?
I think there is something missingβ¦ I think they need to feel loved as well. But maybe thatβs just me
Congrats to @deborahfoster.bsky.social on signing with her agent, Lori Steel at Red Fox Literary! How did #12x12PB help her?
