I wrote about what happens when Trump is gone, and how remembering that he *will* be gone before you might help shape what kind of actions to think about taking today.

When I open to queries again this Fall I will not be taking PB queries 😔
I was all in my feelings about it, but here's a way for me to stay involved with what picture book writers are up to these days and keep working with one of my favorite formats. Click the link in my bio to contact me!

There's no end to what you can donate - but bidder favorites tend to be AMAs and critiques! Other ideas include consultations, author visits, signed copies, original illustrations, or conference tickets. Just use your imagination! 📖

It's #MSWL day!! I'm currently closed to queries and working my way through, so this is going to be VERY specific. I'm hungry for BIPOC sports- and hobby-centric MG and YA. And in adult, BIPOC-led mysteries (including cozies) and thrillers. I don't get enough of either of these!! Link below:

At long last, I am open to queries again and I'm super excited! All past queries have been answered except a couple I'm waffling on, and fulls waiting to be read. I will be closing promptly at the end of October. Updated wishlist here: stefaniemolina.com/agenting/

Following up convo on the whole “we need to do better as an industry” w/ something I said in an interview. It’s ALL of us. BIPOC editors are not almighty saviors—we’re dropping like flies. There have been times that I’ve been treated with SO little grace cz of the ridiculous expectations set on me.

my attempts to schedule my booster have so far been thwarted by: there is no good time coming up for me to be sick for 2-3 days. :(
