I’m pretty sure everyone assumes I’m an asshole and I’m like no I just hate seeing so much 🤣🤣

I have a horrific habit of taking my glasses off at events and then I just…can’t see anyone 😶

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

No! Roma did I miss you!!!

We agree. She never is.

Lucky Bug Comic #008 - Poetry It starts with a vision

New LUCKY BUG comic today over on my Substack newsletter 🐞 ✏️ #kidlit #comics

I’m speaking to a specific instance I experienced with my dog. In no way am I saying it’s ok to have your dog off leash running around near others (dogs or people). Have a good day.

Please feel free to query!

Quick query update. I’ve been open for about a month and I’m averaging somewhere between 300-350 queries per week. I know it’s frustrating to wait for a reply but…there are a lot of queries! It takes time to get to everything.

I love being open to work and I’m excited to keep diving in.

This is my constant worry!

Omg yes. It’s not hard to be responsible!

This.

See that is perfectly fine to me! Respectful to those around you (and your own dog!)

Omg!!

This is our problem as well and I’m constantly worried their off-lead dogs will be hit by cars!

This is exactly my worry all the time that the off-lead dog will approach the wrong on-lead dog!

Pals. Your dog should not be off leash if they are going to sprint at a strange dog from 100 feet away.

You don’t know whether my dog is aggressive. I don’t know whether your dog is aggressive. You don’t know whether my dog is immune compromised (she is).

This is a recipe for disaster. Do better.

There are a lot of pitches to wade through, so I know I’ve inevitably missed a few. If you feel we’d be a good fit please feel free to send a query along to my query manager. And best of luck to everyone participating! ✨

That’s totally fine! You should wait to hear back from that person first before submitting to me. I’ll be patient!

I’m popping through #DVPit as I’m able today! If I 💗 your material and you feel we’d be a good fit please send the query and first 25 pages to me at alevick(@)writershouse(.)com

For illustrators, please send along a dummy or link to your portfolio!

Can’t wait to have a peek!

I have a second library card now and I think this might be too much power.

🍁 Hello friends! I’m joining #kidlitpostcard a wee bit late (I’m on deadline) but had to post something cuz this is my fav time of year. (Hooray for crunchy leaves & pumpkin spice!) I’m rep’d by @allielevick.bsky.social at Writers House. For more work visit my website at www.MeridthSaysHello.com 🍂

BOOK DEAL: Megan Ilnitzki at HarperCollins has acquired, at auction, Medusa's Pet Rock and a second untitled mythology-based picture book by Steph Lau (The Abominable Snow Dancer). When it's Medusa's turn to take the class pet home, she tries to be careful, but inevitably, ZAP. Medusa's teacher won't give up, though, and she's sure that this time, she's found a class pet that even Medusa can enjoy. Publication is planned for fall 2026; Alexandra Levick at Writers House sold world rights. A headshot of a smiling woman with a felt plushie snake curled around her neck. Below is a chubby toddler Medusa, trying to share her juice box with her pet rock.

Pleased* to announce my second picture book! MEDUSA'S PET ROCK is slated to launch Fall 2026, with @harpercollins.bsky.social

*Pleasssssssed
