Hopefully other #SCBWI chapters will not only join Bluesky but also create Bluesky Lists of their members 🤞🏼
Could be a list of your K-12 educator or librarian group members on Bluesky, regional-focused edu group, kidlit book bloggers, reading group, etc.

Goal is to help boost quieter voices & fellow kidlit community-builders who don't yet have many followers.
Hoping to help boost Kidlit-focused LISTS via this thread & a possible curated feed like the one @bossett.social created for @danirabaiotti.bsky.social for SCIENCE people (see https://bsky.app/profile/danirabaiotti.bsky.social/post/3kl33otd6ob2s). Thanks to @rose.bsky.team @bossett.social & Science Feed Moderators for their advice/help.

Kidlit categories (PB, MG etc) are too broad for ONE person to maintain a comprehensive list (tho see @charlenedraws.bsky.social Lists for KidLit Illustrators 🎨); it's easier for people to maintain subgroup LISTS instead.
Anyone on Bluesky can create a List, don't have to be an "Influencer."
For a general KidLit Community feed, see @boringstorybook.com's great https://bsky.app/profile/boringstorybook.com/post/3k64atvvphb26.
I'll be creating a KidLit feed using Lists as input (via @blueskyfeedcreator.com), will give credit to List Moderators. Those on these Lists can use emoji combo to push posts to the feed.

Examples of some of my own KidLit Lists...
SCBWI

KidLit/YA Agents

Canadian KidLit/YA Creators & Boosters
https://bsky.app/profile/debbieohi.com/lists/3k72drcwexw23
Note that overlap w/my lists os ok! YA is fine as long as majority of list leans younger, not adult.
