Do you need a smile today? My 6yo niece wants to be a meatball sub for Halloween this year. Isn’t that just the best thing you’ve heard in a while? 😂

Hi friends! I've been going through all of my work and found some painting videos I made during the pandemic that only exist kind of hidden on IG...so I brought them onto YouTube as well! Should I make more? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf7H...

I’m so excited to share that Anna, Tess, and May will return for a few more stories starting in spring 2027! The Flower Garden: MAY’S BIG MISTAKE is next in the series of graphic novel adventures in which the girls must solve the mystery of the missing garden gnome! The suspense! 😮😂

I truly funneled an entire week's worth of introvert energy into this recording session! 😂 (By the end, I am merely a husk!) But I'm still hoping my "Art Girl" story will inspire at least one child to keep drawing. 🤞✨

I just spent the entire morning typing up a newsletter and then thought, what EVEN is the point? This is where I’m at in my head right now…it’s like brain purgatory. I feel like the kidlit community needs a collaborative brainstorm sesh on what to do next.

This has been in the works for a hot minute and I’m DELIGHTED. This change will give more of us ABLA’ers the opportunity to consider your work — even the agents who are otherwise CLOSED to queries can get the chance to look! 😍😍😍

I’ve been so quiet online lately. If you’re wondering why…behold the biggest reason:

Hey if you are interested in books and whatnot could you do me a favor and follow @andreabrownlit.bsky.social ? We are trying to migrate AWAY from Evil Empire type sites but we still get about a million percent fewer eyeballs here so it’s hard to leave — trying to boost BLUESKY! 💙🦋💙

During yesterday’s school visit, a 3rd grader raised her hand in a room full of 300 kids and asked the ever-pressing question: “Are you a Swiftie?”

Also, I’m traveling alone so expect many random observations for the next few days. 😂

In the airport and every time this one baby starts crying, the music gets louder. Either the speakers automatically adjust to a loud environment or someone in charge does not want to hear that baby.
