I've given a lot of advice and mentored writers, and one of my main pieces of advice: DON'T SELF REJECT! Go for the award or mentorship or writing opportunity. The worst that can happen is you don't get it. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't get it. #WritingCommunity

I've given a lot of advice and mentored writers, and one of my main pieces of advice: DON'T SELF REJECT! Go for the award or mentorship or writing opportunity. The worst that can happen is you don't get it. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't get it. #WritingCommunity

Thank you @ETrainsWorld! I can’t think of a better spokesperson for #OnlineSafety @SCBWIRockyMtn @mgauthorcade #mglit #digitalsafety #teacher #librarian
Internet safety touches on many important issues! From #cybersecurity to #cyberbullying to identity theft and more, staying safe #online and on our phones is critical! To help spread the word about #onlineSafety, I’m visiting middle-school #classrooms & sharing author…
I define short middle-grade books as middle-grade books under 250 pages. Once we’re past that 250-page mark, it can be tough for beginning or reluctant readers. That’s why I’ve made this list of middle-grade books under 250 pages! readingmiddlegrade.com/middle-grade-b…
Just noticed this duck's expression in response to the 'Don't Feed the Ducks' sign on the title page of my debut picture book, The Quacken (illustrated by Pablo Pino) 😆
