I have to say this flyer from Erin Pascal of AndrewsMcMeel is 🔥. I cannot count the number of panels where I had to search and search for info re: the panelists or their work. Here it is in one easy handout. 👏👏👏

Cover reveal! I'm so excited to announce that book two of the Operation series, Operation: Make a Splash, will release 2-24-26! Thanks so much to my agent, Lori Steel, my editor, Erinn Pascal, and the whole team @andrewsmcmeelkids.bsky.social for helping make this book a reality. #graphicnovel

Also: AI is going to negatively impact kids' reading skills. AI slop picture books are already here, and chatGPT is fucking with learning and critical thinking. We've got to support kidlit that's accessible, engaging, and original.

Was told this year that children's books weren't profitable enough and should be deprioritized, which is just a load of horsecrap:

1) Kidlit is recession-proof bc parents will always buy books for their kids.

2) With all these book bans happening, it's more important than ever to support kidlit.

YAY!!! Can't wait to see it all. Congrats, Eric!

Haha yes! And the subway doesn't even go that direction unless you take my mortal enemy, the L train

I hope it gets better for you, and here if you ever need to vent

Definitely more bad for the author (and not close)! I was totally OK, just felt terrible about it.

Sorry you had to deal with that too. There are so many times in my life (at previous jobs) that I had to issue the whole payment because it was already accepted (or even in print!) by signing time

I always say the best part of AMP is that it takes two. weeks. tops. for payments to be made

once I had an author chew me out at a diff house for a payment that was still unpaid 6 months later and I felt so bad but I approved it 6 months before, it was just in the queue :(

definitely!

and what's sad is that's not even the WORST :(

Excited to be panel’ing at my very first @lightboxexpo.com #phineasandferb DETAILS:

THIS IS SO COOL!!! Congrats, Josh!

I obviously know a bit from on-the-job work, but my degree is Writing, Literature & Publishing (aka a glorified English major, but with Indesign lessons!!).

Anyway, very much interested in business/ops to expand the stuff I know and apply it to helping authors & creators

Asking the hivemind: Has anyone taken online business degree courses or certifications? Any tips/recs?

I'm thinking about what will be most beneficial for me in January & if there's a possibility of a 10 or 15 hour a week course, I'd like to explore it.

People keep asking me what's next and the idea of returning to do some picture books is really, really nice. So nice I almost cried. You can ask my fiance. It happened!

tldr; I have great things to say about Andrews McMeel & do not want any rumors to imply otherwise. I found out about Quirk through PubLunch, just like you. I do not have any more info & likely won't.

Thank you <3

Anyway, I just wanted to shut down any rumors about me personally.

BTW, this kinda thread makes me really nervous haha. I *wish* I ran it by HR or something to see if it's cool or not to post, but it's all 100% authentically me. /c

This is my first layoff, but I've seen a lot of friends laid off (at other companies) through the years. To my knowledge, AMP was open & honest with me

I also think having until 12/31 to wrap things up speaks very highly of the company. Most of corporate America wouldn't do that, sadly /c

I ask that you don't insinuate any rumors about me. I have loved my time at Andrews McMeel, truly. I will always support its team, creators, books, calendars, et all!

No one's making me say this, btw. This is the truth. /c

I'm obviously very sad. And I am also very grateful. These two feelings can and *do* co-exist.

Andrews McMeel has given me an abundance of opportunities in the past 4+ years, and I am not the same person I was before I started because of it. /c

books/authored | Erinn Pascal | 34 comments Well, this moment comes for many of us at some point in our careers, and sadly, I was informed last week that my position at Andrews McMeel will be eliminated, effective December 31.   I’m incredibly ...

Hi pub friends!

Pub industry is obviously really small & news travels fast

Yes, I will be looking to begin a new role in publishing (or licensing!) on 1/1

I kindly ask that you read my LinkedIn post if you are curious on my thoughts (or have open roles for me!)

(Well, obviously I'm now trying to find work, so I guess I do have another motive haha, but absolutely not in opposition to AMP. I remain a fan and will continue to be one in 2026 & beyond.)

If you have any further q's, happy to chat: erinnpascal@gmail.com /d

I am also still at AMP through 12/31!

For myself, I'm just looking for a new role tbh. Andrews McMeel gave me a ton of opportunities and mentorship that I am very grateful for. In no way am I try to making this anything other than positive for the team. /c

Hi, Samuel! While I genuinely appreciate the support (<3) and send lots of love to Quirk & its employees (and I don't know anything other than what's public on that tbh), I don't hold anything against Andrews McMeel & remain a fan. My colleagues are brilliantly talented and hard workers. /c

if you're going to NYCC, please consider masking!! 😷
