You wrote a terrifying story, indeed, Jyn. Told with your lyricism, where every word holds the necessary weight. I do wish that this piece couldn't possibly be considered realistic fiction...

It took guts to pitch your dead story hearts! And there were so many great entries. After getting all of our brains together, a few pitches really stood out in the graveyard. The winners of this year's #KidlitZombieWeek host critiques are...

My mentorship with the wonderful Dr. Mira Reisberg @cba-kidlit.bsky.social is ending. Her classes, critiques, and agent/editor nights finetuned my manuscripts, pitches, and queries. I'll miss her. Luckily, there are many courses I can go back to throughout this year to continue to learn and grow!

The Toadstool Bookshops made it very easy to purchase a book donation for #50PreciousWords. I went with a fun Questioneers chapter book by Andrea Beaty, illustrated by David Roberts.

@amyrmurrellauthor.bsky.social Thank you! And I'm excited to learn more about your books after hearing your pitch a few nights ago!

Wow! Another great session planned by my wonderful mentor @mira-cba.bsky.social with editor @katedepalma.bsky.social! I'm fired up to focus on the power of pacing.

After spending nearly 3 weeks in Costa Rica, this is a must-read for me! Rich in community with nature, I can't wait to explore this text.

How I love a story rich in word play and aliens! How many time do kiddos and adults feel like they don't belong "in this world" until they find the thing they love to do?
