I find pitch contest overwhelming. I tend to pop in and out. But supporting everyone’s incredible work made it worth it. Fingers crossed for those who got agent hearts.
Here is Super Benny rooting for the projects who didn’t get noticed this time. #dvpit #kidlit

An illustrator alerted me to the attached email. Someone is impersonating me! Offering #kidlit illustrators fake deals!

This is not me! The deal-structure/schedule is insane. The deadline is quite friendly?! 10 picture books in 3 years?!

Please let me know if you receive an email like this!

Dodo and Willa, brought back from extinction for an interplanetary science fair, but when they don’t win first place, they are left behind where they discover their time is limited, unless they find the kids who brought them back in the first place. #DVPit #DVART #GN #CB #SF #ND #MG #HA

Best overheard dialogue I heard in Brooklyn this weekend -

“I’m not a Queen. I’m an empress.”

Writer friends - What have you over heard recently that got your ears tuned in?
