Just got news that I was accepted into a creative writing course based on the synopsis and opening chapters of a new novel I am drafting... right after a rejection for an older MS. Time to get writing! Still on a high to have been selected. #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writingcommunity

So illuminating to see deals broken down this way. #kidlit #kidlitcommunity
Hello #kidlit friends. I've compiled 2024 Publishers Marketplace data into this friendly pie chart.
Please note:
- data is for U.S. based publishers
- not all publishers/agents announce every deal
- some deals include multiple books/cats so numbers are approx.
- CB data also includes early readers

One of the best ways for #writers to gauge the literary market is to read recent releases from DEBUT authors. Why? These are writers whom publishers are willing to take a risk on, who don’t yet have a following, which means publishers believe their book has market value.

I know it's not best practice, but sometimes when I cannot write, I just read. I feel like that is a fair way to pass the time and 'work' towards my writing goals. Anyone agree? #amwriting #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Submitted #creativewriting application today.
Drafted a new #PB manuscript.
Wrote 500 new words in my WIP #psychologicalsuspsene.
And that was all during my baby's nap-time.
It was a good day... Most days are not like that :)
