Ooh, perfect! Thanks, Alex! :)

Do I have any editors following me here who are knitters? @christaheschke.bsky.social and I are about to go out with a queer YA rom-com that’s knitting centric! Let me know if you’d like to see it. 😊🧶

Happy #kidlitartpostcard Day!
I'm Stacey & I’m always on the lookout for colourful, magical & sweet #pb projects!

Hey, can we talk about JOY?

Join your local progressive groups, y'all!

Working with neighbors to help us all can be one of the most joyful things in everyday life. Every time I join anything, I see these kinds of smiles.

Here's a 🧵 of photos to inspire you.

So sorry about that! I messaged you. :)

Absolutely! :) DM me and I’ll give you my email address to send me your files for critique.

Everyone give a welcome and follow to my lovely boss! :)

I still have 3 as of now! Thank you so much for doing this. :)

Absolutely, that’s so kind! We can also do an AMA for general writing/publishing advice if you’d rather.

Update! I have 3 slots left. I also had someone reach out who needs directed donations for food. So if you’re interested, please message me and I’ll tell you where to donate, then we’ll set up a critique or AMA. :)

If you're looking for ways to support folks in the Deep South losing their SNAP benefits you can join YHF in funding groceries for local communities using this link:
action.yellowhammerfund.org/a/donate-to-...

If you have a PayPal, Venmo, etc. for donations, you can send it to me and I’ll share it widely, and ask friends/clients with larger followings to do so as well. If I get another writer interested in my services, I’ll also ask them to specifically donate to you before sending me files for critique!

To answer some q’s I’ve gotten:

-No threshold on how much you donate! I know everyone has different budgetary constraints; I do, too. Just do what you can.

-Happy to take any age/gebre, but I work on YA, MG, PBs, & select adult contemporary & romance; my critiques are likely most valuable there!

I’m also open to setting up a couple AMA Zooms if there’s interest!

I can’t do much, but taking care of each other is vital, especially now. So I want to do what I can.

Feel free to pass this offer on, share on other platforms, etc.!

If I have the capacity, I’ll offer a few more of these in the near future, too.

Writers! I’ll critique a query letter and first page for 5 people in exchange for a donation to a food bank, local restaurant with a free-meal program, program collecting funds for people in need of food, etc.

If you need food, or know someone who does, DM me or comment below.

❤️❤️❤️

Vote like hell, New York.

Any math and creative wizards out there who can show us how much water Adobe Max used during its AI-propoganda keynote yesterday? I'd be curious.

Awww, thanks, Erica! 💕🏳️‍🌈
