Grab your visors! @tashahilderman.bsky.social and I are on the green! Just pay attention to art and not my record-setting high score! ⛳️ I'm so psyched for this charmer and all the kitschy putt putt props! And golf clap for the lovely team at @randomhousekids.bsky.social #kidlit #earlyreader

Publisher's announcement with putt putt golf illustrations in background. Text reads: Heidi Kilgras at Random House has acquired world rights to Mini-Golf Fun!, an early reader by Tasha Hilderman (l.), illustrated by Kaly Quarles, in which a young mini-golfer putts their way through an elaborate course of windmills, mole hills, and waterfalls to an ice cream celebration. Publication is planned for summer 2026; Rachel Orr at Prospect Agency represented the author, and Jennifer March Soloway at Andrea Brown Literary Agency represented the illustrator.

If you start writing a new wonderfully weird idea, but you run into trouble executing that wonderfully weird idea, there are two possible causes: 1. it’s a dumb idea that won’t work 2. you’re a visionary genius & the only person who can pull it off The only way to know? Keep writing.

We have a question! First off, the usual caveats: YMMV, my way is not the only way, whatever works if your process, your process may change. That being said, I've been revising pretty much the same way since the beginning, and it works for me. So here we go. 1/

Not everything you write has to be for publishing or fame, some things can be written just for fun, written for joy, can get you out of a writing rut while writing on something else. Writing for joy can clear your mind while you think through and write your novel. #amwriting #author #writing -Wrtr

Always keep that little place where the magic grows inside of you, alive. - Text is displayed on an image of a magical place, you can see a starry sky with a far away brown mountain peak showing just on the bottom, a tiny person with a glow about them standing on the mountain top.
