Now seems like a good time to recommend this book. “Everybody needs help sometimes.”

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

For querying writers: I did a critiques today for an SCBWI conf & got questions about what kind of books you can cite as comps, & I think it’s worth distinguishing between *pitching* comps and *selling* comps. A brief 🧵:

Thanks for the ARC of MOONLEAPERS by @mphaddix.bsky.social (@harpercollins.bsky.social)! Twelve-year-old Maisie doesn't fit in--getting Great-Aunt Hazel's old cell help that. But then the odd text messages start. Great mix of history, intergenerational connections, and family. Recommend!📚👍

Hey if you are interested in books and whatnot could you do me a favor and follow @andreabrownlit.bsky.social ? We are trying to migrate AWAY from Evil Empire type sites but we still get about a million percent fewer eyeballs here so it’s hard to leave — trying to boost BLUESKY! 💙🦋💙

I’m now on Cara!
You come and follow me on there under the username of @luceillustrates!
Come and see more of my and many other talented illustrators artworks on there. Instagram and X keeps exploiting the art/kidlit community so it would be good to have an app that actually supports us.

No category in children’s lit ever dies. What’s “hot” shifts around with reader demographics, popular series, innovations in format, content, and style — but heat patterns always change! Anyone who says a category is dead is overly invested in their own supply.
Reject the narrative that middle grade is dead. Reject, and discredit those who espouse the false narrative that middle grade is dead. Middle grade is alive, well, and essential… even though the misguided and misinformed seek to erase it. Books change lives, books save lives.
