I am HONORED to be an Honorable Mention and to see my name next to those of so many talented friends! Thank you @viviankirkfield.bsky.social, judges, and my stellar CPs for another great #50PreciousWords experience!
#kidlit people: how do you format an author-only graphic novel manuscript for kids? I would love any templates, samples, or resources!
I almost forgot to post the entry I wrote weeks ago. Don't be like me—share before it's too late!
Shameful as it is for an author to admit, I am at a loss for words. My flabbers are gasted and my timbers are shivered to announce that I am agented...and I get to work with TWO amazing agents! Thank you, @bookfairyangus.bsky.social and @ashleedani.bsky.social for believing in my work!

When Matty loses his mitten before the first big snow of the season, Mom lays down the law: both hands must be mittened or Matty will miss out on the fun. An unorthodox solution gets him out the door, but he’ll need to dig deep if he wants to enjoy the snow with just one mitten. #QuestPit #PB #Q
Ahhh!! I am completely delighted that my creepy little entry was a winner! Thank you, @lydialukidis.bsky.social and @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social for hosting, and an extra-special thank you to @professoraixa.bsky.social for selecting my entry! 🎃
When Miles misses the classic language milestones, he and Mama must find other ways to communicate or risk constant frustration and isolation. From gestures to echoes and beyond, they embark on a Gestalt language processing journey together. #QuestPit #PB #Q #ND
When Leo thinks about starting kindergarten without his hero—big brother Troy, who leaves for college before the Big Day—he finds himself beset by nightmares. Troy comes to the rescue one last time, but Leo will have to find a way to face his fears on his own. #QuestPit #PB #Q
