The cover of a new picture book by Laurel Snyder and LeUyen Pham called SHRINKING VIOLET. It's purple with a small girl on it, a bird, and lots of flowers.

At last! At last! I can finally share!

Y'all. LeUyen Pham has done something truly extraordinary with this book.

March, 2026. Just you wait!

We're so excited for @melissadassori.bsky.social's GRETA EVER AFTER to be out in the world tomorrow! This one's for the aspiring young journalists who wish their lives were a little more magic, or anyone who loves a "relatable coming-of-age story interwoven with dark fairy-tale elements" (Kirkus).

#WritingCommunity

Absolutely 💯

When I first started writing for publication in earnest, I really felt it, you know?

How many writers in the #WritingCommunity lose the feeling of "it" due to rejections?

Plenty! Writers let's pull it together! Let's work hard! Exercise our superpower!

Let's be literary Jedi!
