At a program yesterday I spoke about how I first got started in children’s publishing w/poems in children’s magazines. Throwback pic of one of my favorites—Andy Smith’s art was spectacular!

Featured on #BethAnderson's blog + a #GIVEAWAY! I share the story of how I found a little "something extra" to elevate my manuscript. Could this idea work in one of your works-in-progress? #Kidlit #NF #PB

Illinois friends—Join me in June for this free program!
A focus on literary devices with a deep dive into examples in many PBs. (Most content applies to prose but about 15% of content touches on rhyme/meter.)

“Meyer has crafted a charming and joyous celebration of friendship, artistry, and nature in a surprisingly small package that is a true delight to read. Fun, inventive verses encourage creativity and play.” Musil’s artwork is “unique and charming.” —Kirkus Reviews

Out TODAY! See you at the beach!
