It was such an honor to meet @juliefhedlund.bsky.social of #12x12 at the #SCBWINY26 over the weekend! She's such a lovely person and an inspiration to many (including me).
Check out her books- Over, Bear! Under, Where? (It's hysterical!) & Song After Song (about Julie Andrews) #SCBWI #KidLit

@patzmiller.bsky.social -I finally located this photo of my son and wanted to share it with you! His "Sophie's Squash" was an eggplant named "Tim." He was about 9 when this photo was taken. He's now almost 19! #SophiesSquash #KidLit #AmWriting #PB

Thank you @viviankirkfield and judges for choosing my 'Pumpkin Spice' poem as a lyrical/poetic HM in this year's #50PreciousWords! These recognitions really help when waiting to hear back on manuscript submissions!

Now that I'm back from #SCBWI2025, it's time to focus on the thing that has eluded me for years—A Mentorship! I applied for 3 yrs for a #PBChat one (no luck) & this will be my 4th year pursuing a #PBRisingStars one. I'm not giving up! This could be my year! #Goals #KidLit #VisionBoard2025
