Happy #kidlitartpostcard day and happy Halloween-Month! I am Marta, illustrator and author, and I am open to new projects, especially board books, picture books and book covers! I love anything funny, cute, but also spooky and magical!

Sketch of a cartoon black spider being squashed to death by a yellowish squash. The spider has x’s for eyes and his tongue stuck out to indicate his unfortunate demise.

I have NEVER been skilled at drawing. (This is exhibit a in why I am an abstract painter). However, I decided to participate in #scbwiArtober2025 because I had surgery last week & I need entertainment.

So…This is Abel the Spider (RIP) getting SQUASHED by… a Squash. (Since I know you couldn’t tell)

And she never quit. Goal for all of you: never quit.

Every time I see a house like this on Zillow I chant to myself WITCH HOUSE, WITCH HOUSE, WITCH HOUSE

Anyway I don’t ask for much in life but I can’t wait to be a millionaire with a witch house

I have this horrible affliction where my real birth name is actually not a very good name for an author or artist. I’ve been dying to drop my last name my entire life help

One of the best ways for #writers to gauge the literary market is to read recent releases from DEBUT authors. Why? These are writers whom publishers are willing to take a risk on, who don’t yet have a following, which means publishers believe their book has market value.

Your work is all so lovely. You got an instant follow 🥰

Thanks! I was thinking they’d be thinking, “where have I heard this before?” (since almost nothing is changing except the actual book-bio, reason querying is similar, my name lol). But they get so many queries it’s probably not a huge deal

Illustration of 3 cute dogs standing in a city park. There is an open box of pizza on the ground. A small sign taped to the box says 'bob's pizza - don't touch'. One dog is curiously investigating the pizza.

Feeling frustrated? Overwhelmed? Take a deep breath and keep going. Keep writing. Keep creating. Believe. #WritingCommunity #KidLitArt

Good point. Thank you!!!

So I can leave my bio in there exactly the same and that’s ok even if it’s recognizable?

So, fellow authors. I #amquerying & it’s a new manuscript but I’ve queried this agent once before. The query letter is basically going to be the same then besides the info about my new book… is this a problem? lol I don’t know how else to change it but I feel like it’s recognizable, right? HELP

Comps are nearly impossible for me as well

Congratulations!!! 🎉

Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy In the age of automation, human workers are being brought in to fix what artificial intelligence gets wrong.

The people complaining that companies want to pay less to clean up AI generated content is so odd. If we want to be valued for our work as humans we have to show them we’re worth paying for. At least charge your regular rate if you’re gonna do this. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Four-panel comic titled "First Things First" by Debbie Ridpath Ohi. A character lists all their book promotion efforts: setting up social media accounts, compiling media contacts, and planning a blog tour. In the third panel, another character asks, “Finished writing the book yet?” The final panel shows the first character blushing and saying, “Darn. I knew I was forgetting something.”

First things first.
