History repeats.

This sounds like such a fun adventure! 🐾 I’m already curious how the Curious Cat Spy Club will crack the case!

Thanks but it would have been #5 in the Jessie mystery series and first books were written by my friend Stacia. 2 came out I think. #kidlitchat

I still have a box of the book we wrote together. Fan find me through the series website to order one.

#kidlitchat speaking of the Boxcar Children, I was hired to write a spinoff about the Jessie character a few years ago and it turned out really good… Only Whitman sold the series to RH. So it’s unlikely my book will ever be published.

#kidlitchat coming in a little late to the topic, but my favorite series is growing up was an old series I found in bookstores called the Judy Bolton mysteries. A letter I wrote to the author when I was a child led to a long friendship and co-writing a new Judy Bolton book together.

30 Minutes Til #Kidlitchat (my new picturebook OR just a reminder to you to join us here on Bluesky for a chat tonight? You be the judge! (Okay, fine. It's option B.)).

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Thanks for sharing

New Group Aims to “Save Middle Grade” As a content specialist and copywriter at Barnes & Noble in New York City from 2023 to 2025, Josh Sippie had a front-row seat to how middle grade books were performing at retail. It wasn’t a pretty pi...

Make an actual MG section and separate it by genre so kids can actually find what they're looking for. Middle schoolers do not want to wade through a sea of spines next to potty training picture books & baby toys. Give them their own space. They want the stories. They just don't know they exist!

Terri, You can email me for details. (G)

Good idea! #kidlitchat

#kidlitchat I have several midgrade and picture books that didn’t sell—one of them I still love and hope to submit again when the timing is right. As for pb’s, one that I subbed 11 years ago is getting a new look and going out on sub soon via my agent.

I’ve had to abandon many book proposals if they don’t sell. If something isn’t working, I pivot to something new. #kidlitchat

It’s Tuesday so there’s a #kidlitchat at 9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific right here on Bluesky. If this is news to you, huzzah! Now you can join your #kidlit friends and chat! If this is a reminder to you, huzzah! Now you can join you kidlit friends and chat! See ya soon either way….

#bb27 My kitty loves the animal videos on BB27.
