70 is a nice number, right?

Especially when it's the number of agents, editors and art directors participating in the #PBParty showcase.

Check out the newest agent we added. Wahoooooo!

I can't wait to share the gems we've been discovering with them!

We received 1094 #PBParty entries this year.

139 of them are from author/illustrators.

I'm taking a quick break--and then I can't wait to dig into the entries. Wahooooooo!

Good luck, everyone. :)

It can be so hard NOT to compare yourself to others sometimes, esp when browsing social media. To avoid getting sucked into a black hole of envy/resentment, try VERY hard to focus on enjoying your own journey at your own pace. Find your own joy.

I participated as a guest blogger on Day 6 of @taralazar.bsky.social 's Storystorm this year.

Soon after, I blogged in my own space about the experience:
