Great idea!
Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:
(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.
Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

I love this analogy. #kidlit
Querying too soon = like entering a baking contest with raw dough. You’ll leave with a mess and a sudden desire to throw your laptop into a lake. I wrote the checklist you actually need 👉 buff.ly/uBvGZMt

Do most #kidlit writers have their Instagram accounts public or private? Instagram is a bit of a mystery to me. In promoting my launch event, several local businesses suggested I make my story public so I can tag them and everyone can see it, but I'm not sure that I want all my info public. Thanks.
