It’s one girl against an army of vegetables in this hilariously hyperbolic picture book about our leafy green (and red, orange, purple, and yellow) frenemies. @holidayhouse.bsky.social

So much goodness!

I am a querying author again. Wish me luck!

Thank you!

I know rhyming picture books aren’t for every agent but I am about to query one that I’ve been working on for months and has gone through lots of professional editing. It’s called YETI GETS READY and I really love it! Wish me luck (or send tips)! #amquerying

I signed up for a consultation with you! I can’t wait!

Rejected. It was worth a shot! Back to work!

I shelved a MG a few months ago after not getting any response. I woke up today with a gut feeling to try again. Here’s to trusting my instincts! #americasfuturetime #mg #amquerying

I spent 8 hours editing my book today. This is round six of major edits - plus a full rewrite - and I just want to remind myself that no matter what happens with this book, whether it sells or not, I will always know I gave this one everything I had.

My husband randomly bought us a cake tonight so we did our best with candles and rang in 2025 🤣 Happy New Year everyone!

I’m a children’s author who got a wild hair and decided to write an adult romance. After nearly a year of craft books, classes, reading like crazy, writing, rewriting, revising, and rethinking, I think I’m finally getting somewhere!

👏👏👏👏

Thank you Sally! Great to connect with you!

Congratulations!

Thank you so much ☺️☺️☺️

P.S. I know you’re YA chair but I saw that there’s a MG category too 😀

I’m here to shamelessly self-promote my MG series if that’s okay. The Aunt Claire’s Pet Care series is a girl-in-STEM adventure series to remind us all that everyone’s skill and talents have value ❤️

Well I’m in if anyone else is!

You have no idea how happy that makes me! Thanks for sharing!

I’d love to do this but I have a pretty small subscriber list.

Introducing myself for the #kidlit megafeed!

I’m Katie & I write all kinds of #kidlit. My MG series Aunt Claire’s Pet Care debuted in 2023. I’m thrilled to launch a PB with Holiday House in 2026.

I recently parted ways with my agent & #amquery a MG time travel book about science and friendship!
