There’s something hauntingly beautiful about a rainy LA cityscape. The soft grays and harsh skyline make the city feel quiet.

KidLit publishing and publishing in general feels so hard right now. I know there are days when the urge to throw in the towel is strong. Please don't. Your work matters. There is someone out there who will be changed by your book. Take that small step today. You have no idea how close you are.

The Onion summer writing fellowship is seeking applicants! It's six months, good salary and benefits. This year's applicants do NOT have to complete the Eating Challenge, as it turns out this does not adhere to Illinois labor law. We apologize to those who have died in the past.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

I had an amazing time at Andrea Brown’s Annual Big Sur Writer’s Workshop last weekend! I met two members of my critique group there, which made it all the more wonderful. I’m buzzing with a renewed creative energy. It was a lot of fun, hard work & rewarding. Thanks @andreabrownlit.bsky.social! 📚
