Hi Shannon! My current project checks a lot of boxes on your MSWL so I hope to query you soon! What is your preference on polish? Do you mind if a manuscript is still in its messier stage?

Pre-orders matter for authors. Why? 1. They tell retailers/publishers there’s demand for a book And 2. They generate buzz and excitement, which is great! Looking to preorder? #PBRS mentor Aya has a book dropping in August that you’re gonna want 👇🏾 bookshop.org/p/books/ever...

Having kids has completely rekindled my love and admiration of public libraries - what wonderful and magical realms they are. Like it's genuinely thrilling to suggest going to the library as an activity and the boys are really enthusiastic about it. Libraries rule

"I always said I’m a teacher who writes or an editor who writes. But I never said the real thing until after I’d written a third book. It’s the sort of thing that women frequently do. They sort of need permission to tell themselves that this is the work they do.” ~ Toni Morrison 🌸🌸

Me on Independent Bookstore Day

Gru with a large white pad that says "First we get a book". In the next panel it says "Then, we get another book". In the next panel it says "And then we say no more books". In the next panel it says "But then, we see another book". In the last panel Gru looks excited and it says "So we get two more books!"

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books

A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.
