This was my first time doing a Goodreads challenge. Each book literally has a story to tell 😉 for example, I read Like A Curse for my interview on From the Mixed-Up Files of Middle-Grade. Dollhouse Murders is as scary as I can go in a book, so thank you Fleur Bradley for keeping it light.

I love the guest speakers of our writing group. Each month we invite either an industry expert or a debut author. It’s super exciting to follow the authors as they make their mark! One guest is now a Newberry Award nominee. And check out this recent author’s exciting news!! Congrats Delia! #kidlit

Looking for recommendations for #middlegrade steampunk novels. Bonus with amazing world building. This sub genre new for me, but my current WIP is calling for it :) So would love to read them as mentor texts. #amwriting #kidlit

I’m curious if this info is from the lens of an agent giving critiques vs say what to expect from a critique partner. Looking forward to learning more in this free webinar!

Last month, I talked about setting up "Office Hours" so creators could "ask me anything" in a virtual, face-to-face setting. I've decided Feb 9th is the date! The fee to attend is $10, and you can AMA about publishing/storytelling. #askagent Deets here: writingcommunity.ca/office-hours...
