#YouDeservepIt

Oh I love this so Jessica. And that is truly SO MUCH to be proud of!!

I'm proud of myself for investing in myself in multiple ways this past year: jumping into the trenches; trusting my instincts in terms of revisions; tackling different genres; pushing through the lows; finding inspiration amid demoralization... so many things, actually!

I’ve been quieter this last year due to some life matters & the pitch space having been saturated this fall, but please know we’re still here & rooting for you!

Until our next event in the new year: What are you proud of yourself for as we end the year #writingcommunity ?

Season 3 coming October 26th!

✨SEASON 3 IS COMING✨👇👇

I repeat, SEASON 3 is COMINGGG with some amazing guests!!! Schedule to be released in the coming days! For now, mark your calendars!!!! 📆#writingcommunity #YMWJPodcast

What do you think #writingcommunity? The #YouDeservepIt events used to be fall & spring but so many events have popped up which is becoming an over saturation issue for the entire industry (authors, editors, agents). To help with this, I’m thinking about shifting to 1x/year.

Hi everyone! Pitch events have become SO over saturated lately, so I’m considering having #YouDeservepIt 1x/yr now. But before I decide in knowing how much this event means for some of you, I want to hear from you! What do you think? #writingcommunity #agents #editors

Writing is not a way of escaping reality. It’s a way of engaging with it more completely. Ursula K Le Guin

Writing is grounding. Writing is connecting to ourselves. Writing is healing. #writingcommunity #kidlit
