Great advice on nonfiction picture book pacing from Beth Anderson as part of Kirsten Larson's Nonfiction Kidlit Craft Conversations!

Beautifully illustrated book about animals and the ocean! Congratulations, Elizabeth!

I’m now taking Kirkus’s comment that my new book is “rather relentlessly informative” as a huge compliment, in light of all the mis/disinformation we have, and more that is sure to come. ALPACAS HERE, ALPACAS THERE, out 02.11.25. Beautifully illustrated by Elisa Chavarri.

Gorgeous book! Congratulations!

Thread: Q&As about ABLA's new submission guidelines: Q: We used to have three chances to query, what gives? A: Our new guidelines do ask you to pick ONE agent to query. If that agent passes, you can send to the Second Chance inbox, where ALL the agents will have a chance to look!

#AmQuerying update from @andreabrownlit.bsky.social! GREAT NEWS! We know it's hard to decide which agent to query, so we're excited to introduce ABLA'S SECOND CHANCE INBOX. Every ABLA agent has access & regularly checks the Inbox! Check out our new guidelines: www.andreabrownlit.com/submissions
