Hey friends – anyone have any K-8 or middle school connections in Danbury CT; South Bend, IN; Boston/suburbs; and/or Cape Cod? I will be in all of these places this coming semester and I’m hoping to connect with a school or two (or three) that might like to have me in for an author visit. Tx!

In all the teaching I've done, nothing has been more effective for more writers than the kind of gentle accountability that comes from a regular schedule of shared, quiet writing time. Join me and my co-host @saraharonson.bsky.social to make a commitment to your writing in ‘25!

We need to keep talking about how weird it is for people to think they should have a say in reading choices for anyone's kids but their own. You're not in charge of what other people's children eat or wear or when they go to bed. Why on earth would you get to choose what they read?
