Because you can never have enough books for those dinosaur-obsessed youngsters.

A shout out to @authorlauragehl.bsky.social It was so thrilling to see my book cover on your visual wish list. Laura Gehl is one of the generous mentors participating in PB Rising Stars @pbrisingstars.bsky.social www.pbrisingstars.com/laura

Did you know that #nffest is having a writing retreat in May? Unfortunately I'm teaching a class May 10 or I'd be on a plane. REVISION RETREAT & Children’s Writing Workshop May 9–11, 2025 Hiawatha, IA www.nffest.com/p/ninja-retr...

Storystorm is more than half over, but there's still time to connect with the kidlit community and come up with some fresh ideas.

Free opportunity for writers. See you there?

Checking out the #CYBILS2024 finalist lists. Just FYI, if you are new to #kidlit, reading the books on these lists will teach you about what's new and newsworthy in children's publishing.

Excited to participate in #Storystorm again this year! Generating 30 ideas in January of last year really got my creative juices flowing! taralazar.com/2024/12/27/s...

#SteamTeamBooks is a fantastic group that showcases #STEAM #Kidlit. Kudos to Jonathan Roth for 23 author interviews!

Looking for comps for your manuscript query? The Fuse8 lists are a fantastic place to start. #kidlit @mikejrosenstein.bsky.social

If you have any interest in #kidlit these are the best curated lists you will find. Excellent!

Yep! #library #humor

@robertagibson.bsky.social hi! I was shelving books at my library and your book How To Build An Insect is listed as being with Dewey Decimal 745. Arts and Crafts… I have no idea how to update the info for your book but I thought you’d like to know. My library will move it to the bug section!

Congratulations Michelle Schaub and Anne Lambelet! #kidlit

December is the month to think about goals for the next year. I've been inspired by fall color lately. Need to work on that STEAM color for kids post!
