Can I just take a minute to celebrate the #kidlit community here on Bluesky. Children’s book people weren’t just early adopters, they stayed. They stayed, and organized, and remained engaged, even back when it was quiet. They kept the fire burning until the sunrise.

I see you #kidlit.

💙❤️

Adding to this: I know so many people who needed 5, 10, or 15 years, just like Debbie, before they broke through. Persistence is no guarantee, but it's a requirement
To those disheartened by publisher rejections: I started submitting queries & manuscripts to kidlit publishers in 1995. During the 15 yrs before my first children's book contract, I sometimes felt like giving up.

Take a break if you need to, but PERSEVERE. Your time will come.

It seems after the “show me your hands art” trend, it comes “show me your background art”. Do you know at what stuff the genAIs suck? Please stop training them for free sharing your unprotected and hashtag/alt-text enhanced images in social networks, following ultraspecific trends of obscure origin.
