Is it a children's book or an adult gift book for cat lovers? You decide! In CATS AND THEIR PEOPLE, 10 cats tell their famous owner's stories. Cats of explorers, presidents, scientists, even Taylor's Swift's Olivia Benson spill the beans on their owners. MEOW! #questpit #PB #A (gift book) #Q

Finished first round of edits for my editor on my 2027 picture book. Hopefully there are not too many more rounds. #kidlit

Hi from Arizona, kidlit people! Yes, definitely posting less on social media these days! Twitter used to be the best for writers. Haven't found a substitute. #kidlitchat.

Thanks to the organizers of #dvpit! Although I didn’t get any likes yesterday for my three picture books I pitched, here’s a reminder that I’m also a writer of an adult #ownvoices memoir about breast cancer.

In the 1930s, a female divorcee gets a job as a bookkeeper at a zoo. Two years later, she becomes the zoo's director and an animal whisperer. ZOO LADY is a #pb biography, part LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY, part DR. DOOLITTLE with humorous animal anecdotes. #dvpit #PB

I got my second agent through #dvpit in 2019! We had a nice 5 year run together. Now I'm looking for new rep, so I'll be pitching a few manuscripts tomorrow! Good luck to everyone participating.
