Thank you to the whole PBRS team for this beyond wonderful opportunity and my Chicka Chicka Zoom Zooms for reading (and rereading, and rereading…) my stories to get me to this point! It takes a VILLAGE!!

WHOA what a week! I’m ELATED to be a @pbrisingstars.bsky.social runner-up for the 3rd year in a row! What an honor to be considered by the totally rad @juliapierrehammond.bsky.social.

One more story before I go: I entered an early version of this one in #PBpitch years ago. It got a heart from a really cool agent, but she (understandably lol) passed. It was honestly a terrible draft. But now it has real purpose and is coming to life! TL;DR keep on revisin’ 🙌

Thank you @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social @sylviaichen.bsky.social & the PBParty crew! And most importantly thank you to my Chicka Chicka Zoom Zooms @rynkatt.bsky.social @jenzlowe.bsky.social @rachelgrodsky.bsky.social @musingmommumble.bsky.social I am so unbelievably lucky to call you my CPs!

It’s been a minute, but I’m back here to share that The Dot Went for a Walk made the #PBParty HM list! This story has had a JOURNEY, and I’m so thrilled to hear that its new direction is resonating with creators I deeply admire.
