Great new episode on @printrunpodcast.bsky.social about spotting red flags. Considering every day there’s another agent or editor talking about impostors, go tune in.

If you're part of the kidlit community, you probably already know our current "ambassador" declared in a new book that 94.7 percent of kids' books are "crud." It was a careless and harmful thing for someone in that role to say in this moment, and I've been thinking about where we go from here.

Children’s book illustration showing a unicorn bride and groom standing on a woodland hillside, surrounded by flowers, shrubs, and trees. There is a soft purple and blue sunset sky in the background, speckled with early stars. The tree branches above the couple are hung with strands of lights. The unicorn groom is white and wears a top hat. He is linking his front leg with his bride, who is black and wearing a flowing white veil that floats up into the air behind her. Both unicorns look peacefully content and in love.

20+ book pages in watercolor. No AI. Plenty of aches, tears, freak outs, and doubts. Countless hours. Occasional panic. The effort is what makes it worth it. #kidlit #kidlitart

A stack of watercolors fanned out with just a little bit of each painting visible.
