stop making me like gavin newsom omg

In case you needed yet another reason to love Pedro Pascal, no one has mispronounced my name since The Mandalorian came out

("Peskell" happened 50% of the time before him. THANK YOU PEDRO I LOVE YOU)

Update: The person replied back "Good bye" lol

I cannot stress how important it is for querying writers to keep your work protected and logged. And that's not me being a corporate shill. It's for YOUR protection! Linkedin is not the place for book queries, ever.

I'm excited to have a guest post at Teen Librarian Toolbox today, where I discuss why some parents encourage their kids to play video games—and some don't. Our relationship with gaming and with each other are central to my new middle grade novel, GAMERS: ATTEMPTING CONNECTION, publishing tomorrow! 🎮

Your IP and words are important to protect. It's why I almost always recommend going through an agent, someone who will help you in this industry as your guide. I know that can be easier said than done which is why we have a portal where things get tracked/logged/protected! And not Linkedin messages

I don't mean to be a jerk, and I get about 3-4 pitches (that I cannot accept on Linkedin, and have instructions on where to send) a day. But come on.

Please respect those you're querying to and read the guidelines lol. This is protection for me as an editor AND for you and your work!!!

/cont'd

Person: *sends me a pitch*
Me: *replies with typical copy-paste redirecting them to the guidelines*
Person: *replies with more of their pitch, as if that will change things?*
Me: *sends the same copy paste again*

/cont'd

Today on Linkedin (which I do not accept queries for, and spell out exactly how to submit to me if unagented)

I think I've never had more fun in Fortnite than playing Sabrina Carpenter with other Sabrinas. This is peak womanhood lol

Is any of you here an illustrator with Native American background? Or do you know someone? My client is looking for one for a project.
(Please share if you can so they can find the right artist)

Hi friends. Just a heads up that if you email my personal email with the title "Not a submission" and ask for a call about "translating this experience to books," that is still a submission. Not trying to be cheeky, just FYI!

I think that kind of defeats the purpose of didactic, right? Haha vs. informational. I want it informational and fun but not didactic

I know we're all screaming into the ether on Bluesky but DEI is important work and not the reason that a helicopter crashed into a commercial plane at a congested and overworked runway/airport.

Also as a former figure skater this crash is especially heartbreaking. So much love to all impacted.

Or, in plain English, a concentration camp.
