Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

Here’s a page from my YA graphic novel pitch for #kidlitartpostcard! I’m a neurodivergent artist who works in a variety of media & genres, including #PB & #comics. This project includes a MC who’s also ND & discovers a psychic bond between herself & the objects in a cozy-spooky secondhand shop…

One page colored in pastels and earth tones from a comic about a teen with reddish curly hair and a blue sweatshirt who works in a haunted secondhand shop. She dusts trinkets like chicken figurines and a collection of dolls, one which opens its eyes behind her back. Then the girl finds a small charm and her hair stands on end as she says she’s feeling strange.

This piece wasn’t feeling finished so I added more collage to create a dark garden of a speech bubble. This little girl’s owl critique partner is overflowing with ideas & questions about the mystery story she’s writing! @scbwi.bsky.social #scbwidrawthis #scbwiillustrators #scbwi #kidlit #kidlitart

Collage children’s book illustration by Sadee Schilling featuring a yellow haired little girl wearing old fashioned clothes with a little feathered hat and her owl friend working on a mystery story. She writes at a desk covered in crumpled paper, a stack of mystery books, a magnifying glass, a multi-tiered candlestick and a black crystal tower. The owl flaps his wings and asks, who?

I don’t remember planting these lilies but I’m excited to see them bloom for the first time! Aren’t they gorgeous?! What a wink from the universe, especially after my tears in the spring over all the plants I intentionally planted that aren’t thriving…

Hey #WritingCommunity #KidLit #Poetry friends! My daughter needs phase 2 of braces. I am trying to pull funding for that together. I've done paid developmental editing for verse novels for several years, and I'd be open to expanding that beyond verse, provided it's still either Kid Lit or poetry.

The POINT of the Arabian Nights stories is that the genie ALWAYS goes back in the bottle because the genie promises to give you what you want, but the hero always realizes they're better off without the genie.
