Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor - The Dragonfly Sea
They say don't judge a book by its cover, but in this case I would. Reading this novel is like listening to the sound of the waves crashing, the silvery reflection of the moonlight on the water, the atmosphere buzzing with dragonflies. It's stunning.

I work in kidlit because I love being around kids and have a huge amount of respect for them. Growing up is tough, and they need adults who they know are in their corner. Kids can tell when adults aren't being authentic. So can agents, when an author isn't writing for kids because they want to.

One of the biggest turnoffs in queries is a writer insulting their potential audience. There's no reason to be derogatory to the kids you want to entice to read your work. It’s an automatic rejection from me. And honestly, if you really feel that way, maybe you should write for a different audience.

Inspired by a group of 🇰🇪 touring places they have never been. In their short trip to #TheLandofOrigins, Ethiopia, they came to #AfricaHall -a monument to African History. I had the privilege of discussing Afework Tekle’s stained glass triptych masterpiece at the entrance of Africa Hall.

I wanted to write something on the realities of agenting - but honestly it felt too big of a topic (there's a lot of structural industry stuff, plus I can't speak for all of us). So I wrote instead about a typical day for me, right now. I hope you enjoy it! open.substack.com/pub/kesialup...

Just got my official termination notice. I will be unemployed, thanks to DOGE, at the end of the week.
Things are going to be tough.
But!
I've got books available (and more to come). Also, I'd like to help on any of YOUR creative projects.
Need a writer? Editor? Sounding board? I'm your guy.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

A just-unveiled memorial of South Africans who died during World War I in Cape Town. It pays tribute to 1,772 mainly Black non-combatants who died while serving in Britain’s armed forces fighting in colonial territories in Africa. Each veteran is remembered with an African iroko hardwood post.

In African publishing, ‘There is a renaissance going on’.
A new ecosystem of publishers, bookstores, literary magazines and festivals is promoting African writers and changing the stories told about the region.
