I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

One little pumpkin is not like the others… read my picture book to find out why! 🍉👻🎃 #ButImAPumpkin #spookyseason #kidlit

Three tiny pumpkins I grew in my garden lined up with a picture book entitled BUT IM A PUMPKIN, in which a little girl is holding up a wide-eyed watermelon

I worked with an author a couple years ago who insisted on using Quark. A thrill for all involved

Can we as a society bring back spiral binding for pretty notebooks and journals? At some point it went out of vogue but nothing else lies flat the way it should.

Truly. I would go so far as to say it’s even worse than “dystomance”

Would it horrify you to know that some in the industry call them “spredges”? Never has there been an uglier combination of sounds. But this design is rad!

Ooh I could not disagree more! DCC feels fundamentally crowd-pleasing, while Grossman excels at dangling a carrot in front of readers and then snatching it away before hitting whatever rewarding narrative beat they were expecting

Or maybe it operates as a signal to authors and publishers for where the demand exists, and what kind of book will draw readers back

Hell yeah Tidal allows you to block AI music now? Take note in case you needed another reason to switch over from Spotify, with its bottom-of-the-barrel artist royalties

Relieved to know that Texas 10th graders won’t miss out on Margaret Thatcher’s “Euology for President Reagan.” God forbid they waste their time on the wealth of engaging YA currently being published www.nytimes.com/2026/07/20/u...

I’m hittin’ the road in support of a book I wrote and another I edited! I would love to see some friendly faces if you’re in the LA area, and it’s a great chance to meet two fabulous illustrators as well: @devinellekurtz.bsky.social and @heidiroo.bsky.social

My new picture book is out now! It’s about a tiny seed whose dreams of becoming a pumpkin lead to a Summerween surprise—and the art from Heidi Moreno is just magical! Hand this one to the littlest gardeners and Halloween aficionados 🎃

Anyone else still haunted by the dialogue around “best” or “best regards” being rude? I’m still using it for most business emails because it feels like the least worst, practical option, but occasionally I worry everyone I know is quietly offended 🫠
