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?

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

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?

Desperate to repair the fallout with her only friend, Zara, twelve-year-old Mae - who suspects her quirks point to autism - must find the courage to embrace her true self or risk losing the last chance to save the only friendship she's ever known. #DVPit #MG #Con #own #ND
