Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 26/09/2026When Remi joins the robotics team, she finally fits, until her hyperhidrosis causes sweat to drench the circuit board, threatening the robot and her place on the team. Remi must accept herself – and her teammates’ help – before she floods the robot, and proves she doesn’t belong. 000

Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 04/03/2026HAPPY NATIONAL PROCRASTINATION WEEK! Asking for a friend: Why do you procrastinate? I didn't realize this was why I did it until I asked my MC (the moon) why they were procrastinating. (I hate when my MC knows my problem before me). viviankirkfield.com/2026/03/02/t...media.tenor.comtwo men in a car with one saying " i don 't procrastinate "ALT: two men in a car with one saying " i don 't procrastinate " 021
Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Thanks @viviankirkfield.bsky.social for the #50PRECIOUSWORDS contest. I had a blast and learned something about myself. I started writing a silly story about procrastination, but when I asked my MC (the moon) why they were avoiding their shift in the sky, their answer surprised me. 041

Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 28/03/2025How many times do you double check before hitting submit? Too many to count today…but I finally clicked the green submit button! 😊 030
Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I think I’ve done both submitted too early and worked on manuscripts for far too long. My critique group has been a huge help at telling me when stories need more work and when I need to stop tweaking and just hit submit.media.tenor.coma person sitting on top of a rock with the words i think its timeALT: a person sitting on top of a rock with the words i think its time 010

Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 23/10/2024☑️I’M NOT A ROBOT. Darrius couldn't check the box. He wasn’t sure. His attempt to read the cursive notes between his teacher and mom left him with BIG questions. “Darrius is...a…robot?” With the help of a friend and their makeshift experiment, Darrius sets out to prove he is human. #HA #Skypitch 010

Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 23/10/2024Thanks! It is inspired by my 8 year old who would hide behind video games if I let him and avoid any real world risk or vulnerability. Spoiler alert: just like the character in this story, he is making great strides facing one challenge at a time. 020

Reposted by Amy MartinezAngela J Reynolds @angelajrey.bsky.social · 24/10/2023If you know a kid who is struggling with reading and thinks poop is funny, grab this book! The animals are having a contest to see who has the best poop. The text has rhymes, strong vocabulary, and will elicit giggles. Fun! #kidlit @pubspotlight 2112
Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 24/10/2023My sons are 7 and 9. We had a conversation this morning at the bus stop about poop they found on the ground. One son thought it was from a goat (we don't live by goats) the other one said rabbit or deer. I have a feeling this book will be a hit in my home. Thanks for writing it! 120

Amy Martinez @amymartinez.bsky.social · 23/10/2023My 9 year old is researching ways to increase reading for his Lego League team project. What incentives or ideas have you found to be successful?
