Power up for a 1-Sitting read bc emotional tension and pace will snag you. Compelling bc all male Cs have such emotional depth readers will connect w/ each. Have tissues handy. Great sequel to Orbiting Jupiter. GS is masterful.

Don’t let the jaunty cover fool! It’s a heartbreaker by CW’s own headgear journey in 7th grade. Prepare to cry: bullies, sibling cruelty, poverty, family dysfunction, + alcoholism mixed but =hope, therapy, and relief. 1 Sitting Read. @cwymanbooks

Thank you @choldenko.bsky.social for a great presentation with our 7/8th graders talking about your books, your inspiration, and your writing life! You know your audience well! Happy writing!!

Fastest rejection email earned today: 6 Minutes! The agent said he was too busy. Okay then! Onto another submission who just may say YES! #amquerying

Love it when my Ss are aghast that I haven’t read a particular book. My 1st Tui Sutherland book and I love the voice, pace, & dialogue. They ran to the stacks to slap this in my hands!! 🙌 🥰📚

Can you hear me in the back? Set a PR today! Four queries sent in one day! I’ll shout! Four! Hoping for that 🎯! Onward!!

Santa knows me! The Great Christmas Stash 2024! Busy until summer vacation!! 🎄☀️

Welp. A pass on my MG HF after an R & R. Back on the query train but grateful for the kind, personalized note and link to submit to their Second Chance Inbox. Closer. Closer. 🤞🤞

My awesome Books for Breakfast Ss were shocked to learn I had not read this and dashed to the stacks to get me a copy. One recited the opening letter from memory! They raved about Maureen Johnson’s writer skills! Lucky me! 📚🥰

Jean Hanff Korelitz was the adult keynote at the NH Book Festival and spoke about writing the sequel to The Plot. Loved delving into it and delight in JHK’s brilliant crafting. Extra happy I can share my copy with a pal. ❤️ Book Buddies!
