The other weird thing is people like to conflate a follow-count with an artist's level of skill or prominence, and that's just an incorrect metric. Some of our most skilled and well-regarded colleagues have modest followings online. Developing a following online is a whole other skill.

Looking for a #picturebook that features all kinds of families for #nationalfamilymonth?

YAL is a book about love and families with an inclusive and diverse range of characters, seasons and love languages. It highlights the important message that families aren’t just the people.. (>) #KidLit

I’m still seeing cover reveals happening and the illustrator being left unmentioned and untagged.

This shouldn’t be happening anymore In BIG BIG 2025…ESPECIALLY from authors who should definitely know better cos it’s not their first rodeo.

Authors…please…DO BETTER!
