You didn’t give up.
You kept on writing.
You might not have gotten an agent, or gotten a book deal, but that didn’t stop you.
You were sad and depressed. Many times you fought through writer’s block.
But you still wrote something.
You fought back.
You tried.
This trophy is for you❤️

Maddie & her friends want to enjoy the fair & eat fried Oreos, not see a ghost in the carousel mirror & be cursed. Now terrifying things are happening. If they don’t solve the mystery & break the curse, it might just break them. #questpit #MG #PR #MY #AG

#Mswl: literary voice-driven middle grade w/a high-concept hook; speculative/fantasy or slice-of-life but I want to see gorgeous, engaging prose or verse; profound coming-of-age themes; and beautifully drawn characters. If it’s a heavier story, there should be love and hope reverberating throughout

Middle grade authors – the industry is looking for high concept, strong hook books, with a low word count. If anybody can figure out what that is, let’s let each other know. That way we can all write that and save this age group. Thank you.😅❤️ #kidlit #writingcommunity

I’m taking a big step from writing middle grade to adult romcom 😅 But I love the vibes. Why is creating a Pinterest board so much fun? 😆🍁 Here’s to new beginnings… #romcom

I’m curious to hear from others about MG submissions. Labyrinth Road focuses on MG, with select YA titles. Lately most submissions I get have been YA. Are people feeling afraid to write or sub MG because of all the market challenges? I believe there will always be space for great MG novels & series!
