#pbpitch When goat, William, & his boy, Danny, realize the box of William's favorite breakfast, GOATMEAL, is…gasp…empty, stomachs drop. They'll have to cook up a compromise before tempers boil over in this 353-word fiction pb. Capybara is Friends with Everyone meets Cave Dada.
When goat, William, & his boy, Danny, realize the box of William's favorite breakfast, GOATMEAL, is…gasp…empty, stomachs drop. They'll have to cook up a compromise before tempers boil over in this 353-word fiction pb. Capybara is Friends with Everyone meets Cave Dada. #PBPitch
I had my 2023 Hobonichi Techo calendar out on the table, and my husband asked why. I told him I was combining the best #storystorm ideas from last year and this year in one place. He said, “Oh! So that’s basically Miles Finch’s notebook.” 😂 #iykyk
That nerve-cited feeling when you thiiiink you might have had a manuscript breakthrough that could pull everything together perfectly, but you’re afraid to go to the computer to try it out because what if it doesn’t actually work? 😬😬😬
Just went through my 37 new ideas today to see what stands out. There are several I’m super excited to explore! Big thanks to @taralazar for another great January of storystorming!
This is my first time participating AND my kiddo is judging! Thank you, @KaileiPew!
reminder that your book doesn’t need to change the world to be worth writing. you are allowed to take up space. write the book just because you want it and revel in the fact that story could not exist without you. be lawless and beautiful and create.

Thank you, @LTPmag! I'm thrilled to be included in your forthcoming PRIDE issue and can't wait for June.
Writing is HARD, but it's moments like these - kids like Kayden - that make it all worth it. #1000booksbeforekindergarten #PictureBooks #kidlit #stembooksforkids #stemchildrensbooks
My Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection pin for LOOK arrived today! Thank you, @JrLibraryGuild, for this honor! 🪻 Gorgeously illustrated by Samantha Cotterill, LOOK released on April 16, 2024 from @SimonKIDS. #jlgselection #picturebook @LookingGlassLit @SteamTeamBooks
Congrats to the #KidsChoiceKidLit Honorable mentions!!! I see LOTS of familiar names and two of my CP's! @Laureannawrites @BrennaJeanneret - WOOHOO!!! #KidLit #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #TalentedWriters
Safe to say my girls know my weakness. I tell them to bring me 2 books before bed… The books keep coming, and I can’t say no! They’re just too cute… bedtime is negotiable 😂🦋 #WritingCommunity #momlife #raisinglittlereaders #booklover
life is just adding more and more nyt games to your morning routine until that’s all there is
Excited that my picture book entry was a #KidsChoiceKidLitWritingContest Honorable Mention! Thank you @KaileiPew and all the amazing kid judges!
And now... announcing the 2024 #KidsChoiceKidLitWritingContest Honorable Mentions! Thank you to everyone who entered. You should be so proud of yourselves for putting your work out there. And congrats to all the honorable mention recipients! kaileipewbooks.com/post/announcin…
Hey #PBauthor #amwriting #12x12 friends. Is anyone interested in a little one-off ranking party? No critique/feedback required- just sharing some PB manuscripts and getting a first-reaction ranking of preference. Hoping to get a handful of people together. #writingcommunity
Wins I'm celebrating this week: - ZERO passes from editors for my #PBs on sub 🥳 (yes, the silence is a killer but keeping this as a positive 😄) -my daughter pooped on the potty for the first time! 🚽💩 I believe these wins should be equally celebrated! 🙌👏😂🥳 #parenting
Yay!! I was a #KidsChoiceKidLitWritingContest Honorable mention!! Thanks for running this contest @KaileiPew and thanks to all the kids!!

@jburbank @KaileiPew Yay congratulations Jess!!
@jburbank @KaileiPew I have thought a few times that those of us fortunate enough to share the moniker really should be forming some sort of united front. 😅 I'm down! 2027, here we come!
Loev, love, love this story! Congratulations, @sarakruger 🎉 *Whispers:* Sara also gives great critiques, so check out her website!
