Now seems like a good time to recommend this book. “Everybody needs help sometimes.”

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

For querying writers: I did a critiques today for an SCBWI conf & got questions about what kind of books you can cite as comps, & I think it’s worth distinguishing between *pitching* comps and *selling* comps. A brief 🧵:

👻TODAY is GILBERT & THE GHOST's official pub day!
TY 4 all the well wishes, book orders, library requests, reviews & believing in this book the way Gilbert believes in friends, even when they're invisible.👻🥰 #gilbertandtheghost @beamingbooksmn.bsky.social #kidlit #BookBirthday #picturebooks #believe

Happy Pub Day, Heather! I'm so excited for this book to be in the world.👻

Thank you! I couldn't have done it without @12x12challenge.bsky.social ! 😘👻

Thanks for the ARC of MOONLEAPERS by @mphaddix.bsky.social (@harpercollins.bsky.social)! Twelve-year-old Maisie doesn't fit in--getting Great-Aunt Hazel's old cell help that. But then the odd text messages start. Great mix of history, intergenerational connections, and family. Recommend!📚👍

Thank you, Jane!

I'm thrilled to share that I'm represented by Stephanie Hansen at Metamorphosis Literary Agency! I'm excited to bring more of my stories to readers. www.metamorphosisliteraryagency.com/talent?light...

It was wonderful working with you too! 🙂

Saddened to hear the news about kidlit author @kateywrites.bsky.social. 😢 Katey's friends have established scholarship fund at the Highlights Foundation: www.highlightsfoundation.org/the-katey-ho...

Hey #kidlit, just noticed @jemiscoe.bsky.social is open to queries! 👀💙❤️

Hey if you are interested in books and whatnot could you do me a favor and follow @andreabrownlit.bsky.social ? We are trying to migrate AWAY from Evil Empire type sites but we still get about a million percent fewer eyeballs here so it’s hard to leave — trying to boost BLUESKY! 💙🦋💙

I’m now on Cara!
You come and follow me on there under the username of @luceillustrates!
Come and see more of my and many other talented illustrators artworks on there. Instagram and X keeps exploiting the art/kidlit community so it would be good to have an app that actually supports us.

Publishers! Authors! Did you know I offer freelance editorial services? I'm booking spots now! Take a look at my Reedsy profile or website for more information and contact me for a quote!

No category in children’s lit ever dies. What’s “hot” shifts around with reader demographics, popular series, innovations in format, content, and style — but heat patterns always change! Anyone who says a category is dead is overly invested in their own supply.

I'm thrilled to launch my new picture book into the world today and want to thank Beaming Books, @andreahall.bsky.social, Alejandra Barajas, and Liza Fleissig. We did it together! Yay, team! #newbooks #kidslit #nonfiction #picturebook

Celebrating the 28,000 words I wrote on a new WIP in November. Hoping to keep up the momentum this month! #writing #WIP

Creating this acrostic for NILA'S PERFECT COAT was so fun, and the perfect reminder that as cold weather approaches not everyone has a coat to keep them warm. Visit @onewarmcoat.org to see how you can make a difference. @andreahall.bsky.social #KidLitAcrostics #kidlit #kidlitauthor #picturebook
