Just listened to this the other night and super-helpful! I've got some work to do on my site now!!

My debut #PictureBook releases in 6 months, so I've been bringing my "flyer" to bookstores in Maine during my summer travels. Felt scary to walk in and ask them to consider stocking my book, but everyone's been lovely! What did you not let fear keep you from doing this week?

Oh, she was so lovely. Had a great chat with her during one NESCBWI virtual mingle that I'll never forget. Sad news.

Best way to start the countdown to your debut picture book's release? Hang out at an awesome local bookstore for live music and browsing! In 9 months, I'll be a published author! In the meantime, I'll be shopping local. Hope you do as well!

Can't let June slip by without shouting out about the author consultation I had with @briangehrlein.bsky.social earlier this month! We had such a fun chat that left me feeling inspired to dive back into my stories. 10/10 recommend! www.pbspotlight.com/authorconsul...

I'd normally be posting a #FirstDraftFriday reminder today for next Friday, but... I'm putting the blog on hold for awhile due to some changes in my work life. A huge THANK YOU to all who have participated over the last 4 years! I loved being part of your writing journeys!
