Today, my child blamed her bad mood on the President of the United States.

And while this was untrue,

it WAS funny as fuck.

Whenever I see generalized advice a la “don’t query a (genre) novel over (reasonable word count)” I want to scream.

Before taking random social media tips, please. Look at your bookshelf. Your local bookstore. It’ll help inform your work and understand the market better than whoever BookExprt37 is.

Very much here for Soccer fic!!! Congratulations Sylvia!
I'm thrilled to announce my next middle grade book: STEALING THE SCORE, a World Cup-themed story about teens trying to find a missing soccer star. So excited to be working with Anjali Bisaria at Scholastic on this story inspired by my love of international soccer.

Shelly is incredible and I really, really would love to see news that she's settled at an incredible publisher where she's handed her own horror imprint because that would be AMAZING. Hire her, please!
I’m still on the job hunt so if you’re looking to hire an editor or senior editor, I’m your gal!

You can find the titles I’ve worked on on both my website (www.shellymromero.com/books-ive-wo...) & my Reedsy page (reedsy.com/shelly-romero).

I’m also available for freelance editing jobs!

My son texts me from school:
Mom this is you - Angry Snorlax

And I should probably be mad he’s texting during school or that i remind him of round squishy Pokémon instead of a svelt pretty one but…he’s not wrong?

Don’t ever wake me from a nap
