Hello #KidLitArtPostcard I'm Molly. I love drawing and writing about animals and sharing bat facts. #KidLit

It's #KidLitArtPostcard again! Hello, my name is Gordy and I'm a Scotland based illustrator painting my illustrations in gouache, acrylic and inks 🎨 🌐 gordywright.com 📚 Rep’d by The Bright Agency #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! find me here: tatjanamaiwyss.com

I just spoke with an attorney who works with the NOAA, and there is a valid path to shut down what's happening. The agencies are compromised, the IGs are fired, etc. We need a state AG (she said NY would be best) to file a lawsuit seeking an injunction using state and federal cybersecurity laws.

Reminder: Musk’s staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers. Before sharing any information, please use a checker to detect and remove these. Avoid directly leaking images; instead, request that the information be rewritten and the image recreated

Post the amazing science things you have done with federal funding.

I'M NOW OPEN TO QUERIES! Right now, the specific gap I'm looking to fill is for a GRAPHIC NOVELIST (author/illustrator only). Scroll here to see some of the graphic novels and series I've loved, and some new/upcoming ones I'm looking forward to reading. #amquerying #writingcommunity #kidlit #gn

Regulations exist to protect what cannot protect itself!

Wow, guess I can share a cover reveal as it's already on Amazon. a.co/d/80KuFTd #kidLit

2024 was a pretty good year for art! I got back into painting, said painting was in a gallery, I somewhat completed drawtober, I completed a sketchbook and then some, sold some of my wares on the side, and even got my own art studio space with a friend! Hoping to make even more things this year!

It's a long term goal of mine to make books as an author illustrator, so I am very pleased to be long listed with my first picture book dummy in the unpublished picture book showcase by dPictus Picturebook Makers. files.dpictus.com/pdf/2025/6/l...

I'm looking for a literary agent. While I'm primarily wanting someone to help out with novel length projects, it'd be great to have an agent who understands the comics industry from all angles (from indie to big YA). Generally, I need a comics sage who can help me navigate this weird industry!

hi #portfolioday , finishing up a deadline over here, but I'm on the lookout for interesting new projects! www.tatjanamaiwyss.com

Submissions are open for the 2025 MacMillan prize for an unpublished children’s illustrator. #BookIndustryNews #kidlit www.panmacmillan.com/mac-prize-en...
