My friend Marcie Colleen is bringing back her Study Hall program for picture book & chapter book writers. This program was formative for me in my early writing years & I am still in a critique group with the writers I met there! I highly recommend it it! thisismarciecolleen.com/study-hall.html

I just got a peek of the preliminary cover sketch for #CatchingCryptids by the brilliant nicole miles and it's incredible!

Here's what I don't understand about MG being ghosted right now: This is where readers are made. This is the magical age where kids inhale books like air. It all starts here, and if we stop caring about making readers young, eventually no-one will be left to read YA or adult.
