Pitching is a skill, not a personality trait. The best writers are often the worst at talking about their books--and agents know it. Plus, for introverts, it's a scary thing to do! Here's how to make it work for you: manuscriptacademy.com/how-to-pitch-your-book-introverts

How to Pitch Your Book If You're an Introvert | The Manuscript Academy

Pitching your book doesn't have to be terrifying. Learn the exact formulas agents use — plus introvert-friendly ways to practice — so you can walk into any pitch feeling ready.

Just a reminder to buy all kinds of books for your kids...weird ones, new ones, old ones, debuts etc. That popular series they love is great, and it probably began as a single book which took off. With cool imprints closing, we need to bring in more voices, more ideas, more variety.

Someone else's success in the publishing industry doesn't diminish your own chance of success. Boost fellow writers and illustrators. Try very hard not to compare yourself to others (I struggle with this, too). Focus on finding your own joy at your own pace. #Uplift #KidLit #WriterSky

Found object art featuring two crumpled chocolate bar wrappers. Each wrapper has been placed on a white piece of paper, with black ink lines added to create two dancing figures. Mood is one of joy. Art by Debbie Ridpath Ohi.
