I wish agents would alert me when they are reading my full manuscript so I can properly panic. Right now, I stay in 😬 mode.
Never mind that seems horrible. #amquerying #amwriting #writingcommunity #kidlit & #romanceauthor

Any time it rains you should be able to leave work early to go to the bookstore

Forgot about this platform for a minute. Hey folks, what are you reading?

It’s picture book month! Name a few of your favs so I can fill my sons’ bookshelves :)

Me, giving advice: Promote the cool things you do! Ask for money! You deserve all the money!

Also me: oh hi I helped make a convention it's pretty neat maybe folks could chip in cash to help us do stuff and pay people it's ok if you can't though seriously it's fine

My biggest flex is that I can get all the kids to bed by 7:30pm — they will wake up between 7:30-9am the next day 🙏 #momlife

Writers:

Challenge the agreement/contract that your publishers present you with. They'll start off saying this is our contract, take it or leave it, but it's negotiable. Every contract is. 'Boilerplate' means this is where you start, not where you finish.

And learn what 'subsidiary rights' means.
