For some reason I was thinking there was a local kid lit panel? Or book fair? Or something along those lines last spring? I may be misremembering. But I feel like it happened while I was out of town. And I was like "oh man! Don’t want to miss that next time!"

I thought you probably did! You both seem very well connected to the local kid lit community!

Not a book. But do you already use the Merlin App? I love it.

#KidLitChat ...where she went through all the revisions she made writing her book Mother to Tigers (a favorite of my daughters!). Her workshop really helped me figure out a better opening for the PB my agent is subbing currently.

I love listening to writing craft & art podcasts to find relevant topics to my current project/goals. Writing excuses. 3 Point Perspective.
And of course, making our writing podcast, KidLit Deconstruction Zone (@kdzpodcast.bsky.social), is incredibly special since we choose the topic! #kidlitchat

Maybe you and I can go together to one. Being an author/illustrator is all you need! Truly!
I feel like @johackl.bsky.social has been part of something here in the area recently for KidLit? But it’s escaping my mind at the moment.
