Fellow #authors: what do you do re unsolicited emails praising your book (nice but w/ motive) & offer mktg you don’t want? 1- ignore 2-canned reply, no thanks 3-ignore & block? 4- other? What? OR the sneaky ones, is this the author of X? I have exciting news about X … #writersky #booksky #advice TY

Author event at Coreander’s Children’s Bookshoppe went well. I did 2 readings based on when families showed up. Sold/signed 7 books altogether. @bookbaby.bsky.social min price too high, affecting sales, even w/ discounts — bummer. Hoping for momentum for holidays #booksky #kidlit #authorevent

Fantastic! Congrats to Stephen … just imagine what he’ll do next 😁

Same old playbook: if they say something enough, many people will believe it. He’s the worst of the worst.

Some of my favorites were Frederick by Leo Lionni, The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. Extra pts for Frederick! I have revisited, but good idea. I’d like to read Mouse again.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

At a live reading at Ypsi Ale House. Seems like a rare or lost art but I’m happy to see these still happening. Our son is one of the readers and it’s a book launch for his friend. #livereading #poetry #authors #writersky
