I want to expand to sending submissions to smaller presses while I am sending to agents. What are some smaller presses to check out for #kidlit authors? Let’s make a list so we all have the info!

Final polishing touches on my stories and then sending them off to the agents who requested them. Just sending all the vibes and prayers and positive thoughts into the universe that one likes them 🤞🤞🤞

Aahh! I was asked to come read my story to an Elementary school! I don’t have illustrations because it’s not published, so my quick fix is to tell the story and then the kids will draw what they imagine the pictures will be! #querying #kidlit

Eloise has heard all abt the Midnight Tea Party and is desperate for an invite. She will have to overcome her fear of the dark though if she wishes to attend. Readers will learn abt the heart and culture of Samhein & learn to overcome fears. #YouDeservepIt #pb #Q

Being comforted by the belief that we will see our loves ones again centers around our belief that He lived again. Since losing my mom, I have been comforted by the belief we can reunite again. I’m celebrating Christmas filled with gratitude that He was born.

@debjohnsonart.bsky.social hi! I wondered if I could learn more info about commissioning you to create a couple characters I can use to help market my stories while I am querying.

Watching Wicked and we are only at The Wizard and I and Cynthia Erivo is already my favorite Elphaba I’ve ever seen! Wow!

I’m working on getting a viable #kidlit pitch party going here. We had a trial run here last month w/ hundreds participating. All of the functions are in place to hold the events, we need to get more agents & editors on board. Follow @skypitch.bsky.social & the #skypitch hashtag to find out more.

I came across a short story I had written in college with characters loosely based on my bf and myself at the time. I have been working on expanding into a full novel and I am loving it! Themes: -slow burn romance -bff to enemies to lovers -Hallmark vibes So excited to see where it goes!
