Thanks to a wonderful editor from Graphix for stopping by #KidLitGN's #pitch event! #Editors, we have agented pitches, but you may want to peek at the unagented pitches, some of which have received requests from agents: kidlitgn.com/submission-d... #graphicnovels #editors #childrensliterature

🙋‍♀️ Calling all #kidlit friends! I #amwriting a #GN (author-only, for obvious reasons) and would LOVE to find a CP or CG. It can be a single swap, an ongoing partnership...whatever works for you! Help?! Please and thank you. 🙏

Shameful as it is for an author to admit, I am at a loss for words. My flabbers are gasted and my timbers are shivered to announce that I am agented...and I get to work with TWO amazing agents! Thank you, @bookfairyangus.bsky.social and @ashleedani.bsky.social for believing in my work!

I mean I won't be illustrating it, only writing, so I can't produce a dummy.

#kidlit people: how do you format an author-only graphic novel manuscript for kids? I would love any templates, samples, or resources!

Sign language is included as part of Miles' communication experience! (True to my lived experience with my son 💖) The heart is the story is that communication is connection, and there's no right or wrong way for that to look.

When Miles misses the classic language milestones, he and Mama must find other ways to communicate or risk constant frustration and isolation. From gestures to echoes and beyond, they embark on a Gestalt language processing journey together. #QuestPit #PB #Q #ND

When Matty loses his mitten before the first big snow of the season, Mom lays down the law: both hands must be mittened or Matty will miss out on the fun. An unorthodox solution gets him out the door, but he’ll need to dig deep if he wants to enjoy the snow with just one mitten. #QuestPit #PB #Q
