DID YOU KNOW...
In 2023, I critiqued over 100 picture book manuscripts. Some of those manuscripts have gone on to land offers of representation from agents, some are out on submission, and some are even published books found on store shelves right now. #kidlit #writingcommunity

Ms. Swirly’s class has a compliments machine! But when it breaks, the students must find a way to cheer up before they are doomed to be grumps. 📚👍

I have enjoyed following @JoelleTamraz and @WriterSweeney for years now. So listening to this conversation between them about writing memoir was super interesting. joelletamraz.substack.com/p/… #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub
NEW PICTURE BOOK POSTCARD! 🐖 🌮 💌✨️
NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTTS
Author: Megan Woodward
Illustrator: Janelle Wahren
A well-meaning narrator bans anything “inappropriate”—no ifs, ands, or buts—only to have the characters revolt over the fact that they do, in fact, have butts.
