I know other writers have received mountains of fraudulent emails recently—as have I—but this one is legit, y’all. Her email address is colleenhover43 at hotmail. WHAT MORE EVIDENCE DO YOU NEED. #writerlife

Yay!

I’m proud because my book was an instant bestseller! And I’m also sad that the world is on fire. This feels like a tiny light. But I shall accept light of all sizes.

I hope you have a twinkling lighthouse too, my friends.

When I was 12, I wrote @stephenking a fan letter. "You might as well answer now because I'm going to write until you do. It would save a lot of time," I said. Well, my friends, that precocious 12-year-old girl is very happy right now because HER FIRST SPOOKY STORY IS ENTERING THE WORLD! @scholastic

I’m here to cleanse your feed with a completely benign question: What’s your favorite household appliance? Mine is my coffee machine. If I could marry my coffee machine, I would.

I love this note because of its many plot twists. 'Do you like cats? I do. I loooooove books to. I have a cat. I'm allergic to cats and dogs. Thank you again. P.S. I was a cat.'

One year ago I was a clue on the Apple crossword and I was very excited.

I had a school visit today. The students shared the stories they wrote. This is my favorite ending in the history of American literature.

Look at this book box for ON AGAIN, AWKWARD AGAIN! And look at those blurbs! Can’t wait till this book is everywhere on April 15. It promises to be the most lovingly awkward book on your shelf.

This is a young YA, perfectly suited for middle schoolers *and* teens.

Getting lost in new work. Best feeling ever. 💕 Wishing all my writer friends lots of beautiful words today. Even if they’re terrible and messy. #writers #amwriting #writerlife

National Book Award Finalist, Newbery Medal, and now a New York Times bestseller! Hooray, hooray, hooray.

This tumultuous world is terribly broken, and yet there is joy. And yet and yet and yet. After more than a year of being sick and homebound, I continue to be eternally grateful for opportunities to emerge into the warm, welcoming, joyful world of kidlit. 💕 @scbwi.bsky.social

I found this journal from 2015. At the time I was in a deep depression. I don’t remember writing this, but it is a letter to myself. Sending it to you in case you need it. 💕
