You can do it!! We have a giant poddle and fully groom at home. It gets easier the more you do it :) The best part about poodle hair is how fur-giving it is.

Sitting securely in an agent's maybe pile. Trying to stay chill, but I know we would make such an awesome team.

Bonus points for us both being Canadian

Hi Lori! I've submitted my MG to Julie as part of a special submission opportunity with the writing barn. Am I still able to query you as well once you open on the 15th?

🎉 Overjoyed to share my Publishers Weekly announcement!

I’m so grateful to have the talented Tasneem Amiruddin as our illustrator!

Shout out to my awesome agent @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social at @bradfordagents.bsky.social & the amazing editors Deidra & Alison at Free Spirit Publishing!

Woohoo!! Congrats!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

that's awesome!! I have many scenes in my MG novel that depict autistic meltdowns and they go all out with the sensory experiences. I hope one day people will get to read this and see exactly what some autistic people experience

very cool!! I haven't read anything like that!

traditionally published, yes!

a great read!!

I'm just a girl, in the querying trenches, looking for an agent who gets how important autism representation is in middle grade. Particularly with how autism is currently being talked about....

Anyone out there?

Bueller?

I liked seeing this insight into the agent's world after a pitch event! Looking forward to sending you my query!!

Thank you!!

Thank you!

After Eden, Cora, and Raj discover an old framed photo, it mysteriously vanishes, unleashing chaotic spells. A downpour of marshmallows begins, which Cora cannot resist. They must find the missing photo before Cora’s lost to the magic and their town is buried in sugary chaos. #DVPit #CB #MR #ND
