Once upon a time, Little Red loved her red cloak. Now? She’s all about her little red phone. When Fairy Godmother tries to tell the story, Red can’t stop posting—is she sharing too much and are followers the same as friends.

We pay for this separately, but okay, cool.

Nantucket's Quentin The Quahog Predicts An Early Spring Nantucket Current is the island's leading online news source. We deliver the news, stories, and people of Nantucket, unbiased and unfiltered.

I know Phil saw his shadow but Quentin the Quahog says early spring!!

Tons of industry pros (agents, editors, artists) are donating items, so spread the word to writers and illustrators who want professional help on their project. Opportunities like this come very rarely to get feedback from this caliber of professionals. Plus it supports worthy organizations.

A book titled "Telling It True," featuring a typewriter and red and black text, lies on a dark surface. Motivational stickers are visible nearby.

The amazing Kirsten W. Larson (@kirstenwlarson.bsky.social ) has a new craft book to guide nonfiction children's book writers. She teaches from a wealth of knowledge and an open heart.

Congratulations, Kirsten, and thanks for all you give to writers!

I'm off to read . . .

Sixth Annual Submission Strategy Workshop So you’ve got your query. You’ve got your first page. You have some idea of how all this works. Then the rejections start coming in. How do you pivot? How do you know if you’re on the right track? Are...

We think it's unfair that the submissions process is complicated, inconsistent, and takes so darn long.

Our solution: three days of classes, workshops + panels about finding YOUR best agents, interpreting rejections, smart pivots, and writing your best query.
