Scott Wolf -- Kidlit author

My life is maybe a little like this...

Conservationist Jane Goodall, whose work revolutionized the study of primates, has died | CNN Jane Goodall, whose lifelong work as a primatologist helped broaden the world’s understanding of animal behavior and emotions, has died, her institute said Wednesday. She was 91.

What a life and legacy. So glad you were here with us.

Congratulations, Stephanie!

I love it.

On the rare occasion when I have a morning to lie in bed for a bit (sans alarm), I find that is some of my most productive time for thinking creatively about stories.

When/Where do you get your flow going?

Totally get it. Same tough choices here. Best wishes.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

We'll see how this and other class action efforts play out across AI and publishing landscapes, but pretty earthshaking.

Insane. This is simply banning truth from our history.

No doubt!

Congratulations, Catherine! How wonderful!

Sounds intriguing!

The "I ROCK!" stage? 🙂

This about covers it. 😆

Celebrating you and your accomplishments!

Welcome, Jake!

Let the Kids Get Weird: The Adult Problem With Children’s Books Picture books must hitch a ride on the parent if a child is to get a look-in so the children’s publicity machine is tilted fully at the adults. The frontlist is built around celebrities children ha…

I appreciate the advocacy for "unsanitized" picture books. Wouldn't it be great to write FOR children and their interests, not so much for the adult buying the book?

But as @taralazar.bsky.social says in the blog comments, it seems only the most well known authors could sell such work. Am I wrong?

Congratulations, Andrew! Fantastic.

🤣🤣🤣

🤣 I love it.

If you keep your sense of humor and persist, you will maybe possibly for sure find an agent by 105. 🤞

You go, Lisa!

Truly astonishing that the high court has come to this.

Thrilled to be participating in the first #PBandKidJudges contest, hosted by @authorkelliebeggs.bsky.social . Students in 3rd and 4th grade will be judging picture books written by adult authors. So much fun! Thanks to Kellie and her students! (And the artwork is top notch. 👍)

Quote from Virginia Woolf saying, "So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say."

I need to hear words like this sometimes. Enjoy the process, and don't worry about what you can't control.

The last sentence in particular is gold.

@travisbaldree.bsky.social Forgot to tag you. We love your books!

LEGENDS AND LATTES by Travis Baldree. Those who have read it have loved it. I just need to be more of a book evangelist for it.

Congratulations, Lauren! A mighty accomplishment!

The drum I will beat forever is that picture books don’t need lessons, because all picture books are already lessons—in storytelling, language, art and design, etc.
