Scam/phishing alert: if you received an email apparently from Laura Bradford of
@bradfordagents.bsky.social with the subject line "Review Invitation/Bid Proposal", don't click on the link inside and delete immediately. Laura has confirmed that her account was hacked and the message is NOT from her

Here’s my first starter pack to share with the #kidlit community…picture book people with new books coming in 2025!

Tonight, I did a scary-to-me thing and survived!

I read four minutes (one chapter) of my YA novel in front of authors, agents, and an editor.

I'm proud of myself for conquering my fears! #theverge #ctcwriters #kidlit @thewritingbarn

Last weekend myself and 3 other #picturebook creators presented “DinoMania” for kids at the West Valley Library for stem, art, and history content related to our books. Complete with a scavenger fossil hunt. So much fun to collaborate and make an exciting, educational event. #edusky #kidlit

Kelly, JennL, and Jennifer are currently open to queries.

Resharing the new ABLA Second Chance Inbox and submission guidelines again here, as all agents will get a chance to go through the SCI even if they're currently closed to queries!

📣GREAT NEWS!

We know it's hard to decide which agent to query, so we're excited to introduce ABLA'S SECOND CHANCE INBOX. Every ABLA agent has access to the Second Chance Inbox, and we'll go through it regularly to discover new material!

New submission guidelines: www.andreabrownlit.com/submissions

Friends: it would mean the world if you could call out to the ether and share my books!

They're about two tween stepsisters who constantly run afoul of ghosts, monsters, and other creepy stuff.

They face them all with wit, snark, and especially snark.

Did I say snark already? Also snark 😆
