Sometimes feels a bit disloyal promoting my 2nd book while my 1st is still new, but this pic by Nadine Licence is bang on. I'm proud in my Blue Jelly and Strawberries t-shirt, introducing A Welly Full of Christmas ❤️ #KidLitUK

#clearthelist Please retweet. I am a fourth grade nyc teacher in a title I school. I would love some help with our wishlist with school supplies, books, and more. I appreciate you and any help you can provide. Thank you www.donorschoose.org/classroom/23... www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Princess Irene lives a boring life in her father's grand castle... until things get interesting. Goblins from the nearby mines are causing mischief, and she finds a new friend in a miner boy named Curdie.

It's a slow start but the story eventually takes some twists and turns I didn't see coming!

This contrasts against my other life as a entertainment professional. It's a strange path. Not desperate to make a deal, not eager for any offer. Not keen to even promote anything.

Just happy to write, and to be read. The same seed from which we all spring. What happens next is a mystery.

As an unpublished author, I can relate to anxieties I see of trying to get a foot in the door. Any chance to start a career in what seems like a tougher time than ever for new authors.

And of course, finding the validation that the work is something. That the time and effort are for *something.*

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day! I'm Yury, a queer Latina illustrator looking for graphic novel and cover work. I love fantasy and supernatural characters being emotional together in ridiculous situations. I'm rep'd by @litagentsaritza.bsky.social

Laura and Lizzie often hear the call of the goblins from their night market, selling mysterious and enchanted fruits. Finally, Laura can no longer resist, and what she thinks is a bargain has a high cost indeed.

Published in 1862, there is much analysis to parse through. What it means is up to you.

Illustration of spaceship interior. Lots of floaty round rooms with criss crossing paths. At the center is the bridge.

Made progress on coloring the splash page today. I was dreading color but I'm actually having a good time with it.
Still have to color all the characters. #comics #kidlit

Junior doesn’t have much hope for the future until the day when he throws a book at his teacher’s face. That choice kicks off a journey of humor and heartache.

Controversial on multiple fronts, it is nonetheless a funny and realistic year in the life of a 14-year-old striving to find his place.

Oh hey! THE LONELIEST PLACE is out in paperback today. Now you can get all three of Evie's books in easy-to-carry, wallet-friendly soft covers.

As always, all my books available signed from @auntiesbooks.bsky.social and Wishing Tree Books in Spokane, WA. They ship. 🖤

Robby Schwartz can’t stop making comics. He loves making up villains the most, because they’re way more interesting than heroes! But now his latest creation threatens to ruin his life.

Stine breaking format to get ~weird~ is always a gamble as shown in this controversial entry.

It’s Halloween again and Carly Beth hears the call of the mask that possessed her last Halloween. It haunts her at home and at her new job on a farm. But now there’s someone else who wants it…

Retcon aside, it’s a fun return to the theme of horror masks!

Three covers for Star Trek voyager homecoming issue 1 and the text: ISSUE 1 out Sept 3 from IDW final order cutoff July 28 UPC 82771403455400111

babes! pre-orders are super important for comics, they show shops how much interest there is

and if you don’t pre-order they might only get a few copies and you’ll miss out!

tell your local shop you want STAR TREK VOYAGER: HOMECOMING from IDW by 7/28!

Matt is a star athlete, future scientist, and one of the popular kids. But he also has an annoying neighbor who is desperate to be like him. So desperate that he orders stuff called Monster Blood to help himself grow…

Wow! I’m not usually enthused about Monster Blood stories but this one’s a hit.

A hardcover copy of the book Rise of the Zombie Bugs on a library bookshelf.

I just found a copy of my book in my local library and as someone who is still wrapping her brain around the idea that she actually wrote a whole-ass book I am having so many feels right now 😭

Billy Deep and his sister have had scary adventures when they hang out with their scientist uncle, but nothing prepared them for the terror of the sunken treasure.

It’s intriguing to see them build the HorrorLand adventure in the epilogues. Will it come together with a satisfying conclusion?

I mean, how can you not? #kidlitart

Hannah's not thrilled about the senior class trip across the country. Then the horrible incidents begin and it becomes clear that there's more danger on a train than she could ever predict.

Diane Hoh brings a fresh perspective to Point Horror, deepening the motivations of everyone involved.

Billy is new to Bledsoe, the dairy capital of NY. Cheese, ice cream, milkshakes, it’s all there. The problem is he can’t keep down his lactose. Billy’s going to discover what happens when milk truly goes sour.

Disgusting? Sure. But a great parody of the R.L. Stine style that’s worth the read.

My new profile pic!

Only missing my poor partner here :D

I have been wanting to use more pencil in my work as it’s what I love the most from European comics. I finally got the time to experiment!

Birthdays are great, but people get weird when they fall on Friday the 13th.

Not a spooky book, but a wacky journey through the mind of a kid who’s just trying to survive the unluckiest day of the year.

Escape on a thrilling adventure to an enemy capital, where two teenagers race against spies and mobsters to recover a priceless vinyl record that just might save the world.

Ethan is the worst cousin in the world. The twerp always pulls pranks on Britney and her friend Molly. And his new dummy makes him even more insufferable.

Interesting experiment in the HorrorLand series with 1/3 of each book sacrificed to a story arc that builds over time. Let’s see where it goes!

I’m building up a collection of frogs for a pop-up event I have coming up in August. Here are the first finished ones of the bunch!

Brooke and Zeke are excited to get parts in the school production of The Phantom, at least until the phantom’s curse becomes more than just a playground story.

This Goosebumps tale from the original run demonstrates how plots became more complex over time. A kid-friendly spin on Leroux’s original!

I'm beyond thrilled to share that BROKEN DOLLS is @jrlibraryguild Gold Standard Selection. I'm so honored to be included in the JLG collection with so many wonderful books.

Snowmen don’t just get up and walk away. Andres knows this. But things always get weird when Desmond Cole and the ghost patrol are on the case.

This short chapter book by Andres Miedoso and Victor Rivas is lots of fun! And part of a long-running series with many spooky adventures.

The focus is the peanut the mouse is dropping as he slips on a banana peel surrounded by feet and worried sock imagery

This was my favorite piece in the book✨
I had such fun with the socks and yes I tried to work bunnies in when I could 😁
