Sometimes the boost comes when you need it most, and after such a quiet start to the year, I definitely needed it! Huge thank you to @KaileiPew and all the amazing kid judges who put so much time and heart into this contest ❤️ You're the best! #KidsChoiceKidlit
I'm "honored" to be among the PB Honorable Mentions! Thank you, @KaileiPew and Kid judges for all of your hard work!
I am finally in the triple digits with the number of replies, I also have a tiered pile of around 70 still in consideration, and 7 acceptances so far. The poetry this issue is so competitive omg, everyone sent us their best.
An update: still replying to submissions for TBQ7! Planning to put out TBQ7 this spring! We will likely be open for TBQ8 in the summer. Write something for us. We like raw, honest, visceral, with a Taco Bell reference. We're a slop publication that runs slowly, we pay $100.
I am so excited to share this next chapter of my writing journey. I’m honored to have signed on board with literary agent @MaraCobbWrites at Martin Lit. Hopefully this little library will be filling up with my own books soon! I can’t wait to see what we do together. #Grateful
Happy #InternationalFlamingoDay! To celebrate, here are some flamingo butts from the backcover of FLAMINGOS ARE PRETTY FUNKY, which comes out June 4 from @GreenwillowBook. 🦩
@SarahJWMeade Awesome! When we have a little group gathered, I’ll reach out!
Hey #PBauthor #amwriting #12x12 friends. Is anyone interested in a little one-off ranking party? No critique/feedback required- just sharing some PB manuscripts and getting a first-reaction ranking of preference. Hoping to get a handful of people together. #writingcommunity
Every few years, thousands of people are surprised to learn that I am a fan of Taylor Swift. 1. I am a fan of Taylor Swift. I have been since I first heard Speak Now in 2010. 2. I love Taylor Swift's music and lyrics. You don't have to. But I get to. 3. I love the Taylor Swift…
