Haven’t posted much here in my Scholastic capacity (kid and Clifford for the algo), but I’m an editor at SCOPE and assigning short stories and Flash fiction and more, paid, to middle grade and YA authors. If you’re interested, reach out. We’re assigning 2026 now. #writers #authors #middlegrade

So thrilled to share Home Has No Borders is on shelves today. It features #YA stories from many of your favorite #SouthAsian diaspora #authors, grappling with the concept of home. It makes the perfect contemporary counterpart to #magichasnoborders. #booksky

Ironically, it’s about a down on his luck writer who’s having trouble with his latest WIP so his overbearing sister-in-law makes him get a real job—as a bus conductor. #scriptsky #skywriters #amwriting

#Parents, do you have #ADHD? Cutting it close for #adhdawareness month, but I finally published this piece that I first pitched @Parents back when I first started in 2021. It's about the starling rise in ADHD diagnoses among adults, especially women. #neurodiversity www.parents.com/health/add-a...
