LAST CHANCE to join EMLA agent and author Miranda Paul and for a #picturebook craft webinar to take them FROM GOOD TO GREAT. Attendees will get a chance to pitch Miranda too but only if you register in advance! Details at this link: buff.ly/4dTWq4c. #kidlit #amquerying

The webinars in this #picturebook bundle were nothing short of incredible! 2 from Newbery Honor-winning author @rajanilarocca (revising & #rhyming vs. lyrical) and one from author/illustrator and linguistics prof @professoraixa! #amwriting #writingcommunity

It was SO GREAT!

You understood the assignment! 😁

Happy Birthday to Dame #JulieAndrews! 89 years young today and the inspiration for my #picturebook, SONG AFTER SONG: The Musical Life of Julie Andrews. Learn how she went from humble beginnings to becoming one of the world's most beloved performers.

I'm so glad it was helpful! Alliteration, especially, can be tricky because it's used so often - like puns. But as you saw in the presentation, it can really work when it's done well!

Seriously, this is a must-watch!

I came back to X just to say how awful Google Calendar is for removing heritage and history months/holidays from their calendar (never mind Gulf of America). Will be switching services immediately. Way to lick the boots, Google. Disgraceful #boycottgoogle
