Do you receive Write Mentor's weekly newsletter? Stuart and Co. are always insightful, inspiring and real about #kidlit writing.

This week Stuart posted this quote:
"Ambition without action becomes anxiety."

Whoa! That speaks to me!
Carrying this into the new year! ❤️

@write-mentor.bsky.social

It becomes a writing goal for the year with built in instructions and motivations.

Thanks Becky

I am reposting this.

✨New Client Announcement✨

I’m honored to represent @bookwnoname 🥰

D.’s adult science fiction novel that’s Underwater meets The Expanse is everything I love about the genre AND has a trans nonbinary lead & cast of queer and disabled characters that are unforgettable.

Welcome to Gallt & Zacker D.!

A Black family picks their tree in a cozy Christmas tree farm. The snow softly falls around them. Illustrated by Alleanna Harris.

Christmas tree picking! (I got my first author-illustrator #kidlit book deal because of this illustration. It holds a special place in my heart. 🥹❤️)

I never miss an opportunity to meet kidlit authors. Excited to meet Kendra Broome at the Sunday School Publishing Board Book Signing/Annual SSPB CONFERENCE at Gaylord Opryland #gaylordopryland #sspb #kidlitauthorsofinstagram #booksigning

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

T-minus 6 months until the release of SALVACIÓN coming out 5/20!!! 🗡️

If you’re into a slow burn romance this one is for you.
