So excited to finally announce my MG debut: KAYA MORGAN'S CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT! This is the book of my 12-year-old heart, about a Black girl competing for the role of Queen in a world that sees her as anything but regal. Plus: archery, funnel cake fries, and RenFaire puns galore!

This is either a great time or a terrible time to tell you about my forthcoming dystopian novel THE DIVIDING SKY, where people called Proxies use neurochips to sell their emotions to wealthy workaholic clients.

The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well.
Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.

I think you should probably go listen to this podcast, friends.
@joelbrigham is back with another great episode on writing. This one focuses on query letters and first pages - - two very important items for writers seeking representation by a literary agent.

It’s pub day! Thank you to all who have uplifted this story from the moment pencil hit paper.
Forever and Always is a story of the bond between a daughter & her father.
“May the love that expands from us to others always be a shield of protection.”

Does the synopsis section of your query letter end with a rhetorical question? Get rid of it. The easiest way to do that is to replace that question with an "If...then..." statement. It'll nail down stakes and consequences so much better than a question mark!

Is there an educator out there with kids having a rough holiday season? I've got a PS5 I wanna give away.

I queried my first book in 2009. I sent over 150 queries and got nearly ALL form rejections. I didn’t sign with my agent until 10 years and 7 (addt’l) manuscripts later. Let’s talk about why… 🧵

Hi #mgbookchat I’m MG author Kathleen. So excited to have both THE MAGIC CAROUSEL and THE CHRISTMAS CAROUSEL available in time for holiday shopping.

According to Facebook, 11 years ago today I sent out my very first query letter. Wild. I got a lot of rejections on my journey, but one yes changed everything. All this to say - it may take time to see your dreams happen, but you HAVE to take the first step.

I see query letters ask questions in two places: 1.) at the beginning of a query letter, and 2.) at the end of the story synopsis section.
Please don't do either of those. Here's why: 🧵
