I'm updating and re-organizing my contacts database. I can now see that I've lost about 10% of children's editor contacts to retirements, imprints scaling back, lay offs, and mergers. That's not counting the ones that are currently unknowns as I wait to see if/where they land. #amagenting #kidlit

HAPPY PRIDE!
Editor friends! I've been updating my contacts database to make tracking submissions and wishlists easier, and wanted to share a couple of cool things I see editors doing to keep their wishlists accessible and up-to-date:
