📚✨ Exciting News for Children’s Book Lovers!

Hi, I’m Aubrey Allie, and I’m thrilled to be host for the Writing & Illustrating for Young Readers Book Club!

We dive into fantastic books and chat with published authors who share their stories, insights, and inspiration from the publishing world.

Today is the March Ahead Retreat for Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers. Let’s go! A lot of multi-tasking going on here right now. #writerslife #writingcommunity

I get really excited about small things like when my Nordic socks match the colors in my outfit. And like today when I got to wear my Alice in Wonderland scarf to theater to see Alice in Wonderland! 😃

…to the limit, which is 500 if you weren’t aware. And to manage all these new things AND get back to my writing. Balance. Here’s to a new year of HEALTH in every way! Happy New Year everyone!!! #happynewyear2025 #newyearseve #newyearsresolution

(Some cuddles, staying up late, a bath and some reading time.) But I did add a contact photo for the first time to my new phone, and so here’s to hoping I can get more digitally organized next year and figure out my 80,000 phone photos and emails and messages and not maxing out my internet tabs…

I was able to assist Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers remotely and host book club, and I have a few projects in the works that I just may dive into after taking quite the break. We had a fun New Year’s Eve last year - in honor of Thomas. Tonight, I’m just resting.

This year was about moving away from the state where my kids were born and away from family and friends, experiencing some family travel, changing from public and Montessori school to homeschooling, and buying our first home that we talked about for years on our walks. So many firsts for my family.

What an amazing conference week! Two of our attendees signed publishing contracts at the end of the class for book deals. Eight more of our attendees got an offer for when their books are ready. Majority of class! And the entire class got an out of the slush pile submission opportunity.
