When posting images, add alt text! Why?

- Helps visually impaired & neurodivergent.
- Helps your post gets discovered.
- If Internet is slow, people see alt-text instead of images.
- If text in image hard to read, alt-text can help.

I’ve toured many middle schools lately as a prospective parent. Major changes since COVID + collective American childhoods: 1. No more textbooks 🤯, the information is online. 2. No more lockers. Still on campus but zip-tied closed.

Hey, How’s the #kidlit community doing? I’m back after a little burn out break. I’m writing and illustrating early graphic novels, middle grade, and picture books. Polishing my materials to query this year. I missed y’all from that other platform, & hope to reconnect.

Hey kidlit illustrators, I’d like to gift a free, one-hour, portfolio-review/coaching-session.

1) reply with a sample of your art.
2) repost this message.

I’ll pick a winner at random from those who do both. Win or lose, I’ll take a close look at every reply.

💙❤️
