lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Meet Emory: No parents, no home, no choice but a one-way flight from NYC to Caldera Obsidian Academy on Ponta Escura to live with a Great-aunt she's never met. Obsessed with female detective shows. She had no idea she was about to walk into her own mystery to solve. #MGBooks #MGMystery #WIP #KidLit 000
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I also highly recommend doing collision research before promoting a tag to be used during your event, likewise participants should do their own due diligence; lesson learned for all I think. 000
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Love this. FYI, I discovered yesterday the # CB tag puts your beautiful children’s content in an adult fetish feed. I had to pull all my posts that used the tag because of the feed collision. Probably best to use #MGBooks or #chapterbooks depending who you are trying to reach. 110
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026No I haven’t tried all of them. I used the CB tag because that’s what was given for chapter books. My best recommendation is that authors check to see what collisions the tags they used may have. I believe this was an unfortunate circumstance and hopefully will be resolved for the next event. 010
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The sad part is the tag came from their event material. It was carried over from the previous platform. A simple “oh no sorry this happened” would have gone a long way, rather than being dismissed. It’s is an unfortunate situation and kidlit/cb authors need to be aware of the content collision. 110
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It is unfortunate, however Pyra is still alive in the query trenches. I just hope other chapter book authors using the tag become aware of the collision. 010
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It is an unfortunate situation that could have been avoided. Hopefully at the next event organizers will do some collision research before posting event tags. Next I also know to my own collision research prior to participating. I just want to help get the word out to any other chapter book authors. 021
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I pulled my #DVpit pitches today. The chapter book tag provided by the event feeds into adult fetish content on this platform, and I won't put my kidlit book there. Agents who'd still like to know about the book, my agent guide is pinned to my profile. 461
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 30/09/2026@dvpit.bsky.social Heads up for the organizers: It’s come to my attention that on Bluesky, #CB is an established adult fetish tag. Every kidlit chapter book pitch today is feeding into that stream. Any agent searching #CB is going to get the same eyeful I did. This tag is NSFW. 100
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 30/09/2026As an avid nature lover this hits so hard. 110

lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Day 5 My next WIP: Savi Piebug suspects her boarding school's rare orchid collection is hiding a secret. She's right. Every orchid is a missing student, her botany teacher has been there since 1858, and the Black Orchid at the center of the atrium is very much alive. #DVParty #MG #MGMystery 140

Reposted by @lanebraxon.bsky.socialMichelle Witte @michellewitte.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I'm really excited for #DVpit coming up. If it helps authors crafting their pitches, here is the biggest thing I want to see that is often missing: tell me the plot. I personally don't care about tropes. Use that space to give me plot details. I won't request if I don't know what the book is about. 3385
lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Too tired to post but must post because of the algorithms and such…hope everyone had a lovely day, until tomorrow. #amquerying 010

lanebraxon.bsky.social @lanebraxon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Meet Pyra Pangolin: She is curious white-bellied pangolin, careful not fearless, funny-mostly to herself, blunt when needed, problem-solver, lonely, friendly, likes to talk out loud, a bit stubborn, and adventurous. Oh yeah! She's the FMC! PYRA PANGOLIN AND THE UNLIKELY HERD! #DVParty 3140
