I’m gonna be doing this with #SCBWI OK/AK (but it’s open to anyone interested)! I hope it’ll help #KidLit folks who are new to BlueSky (or haven’t joined yet) more acquainted with the platform, how it works & how features like Feeds can be helpful for our community.

VIRTUAL CHAT, ANYONE? OK/SCBWI folks! (and anyone else who might like to participate). We're going to get together AGAIN and chat about the how-tos of BlueSky. DM me for the link! #kidlitcommunity #scbwi #okarscbwi

I got inspired to create an illustration for a Summer drawing challenge by some #kidLit artists on IG (including @elinapisko.bsky.social) The theme was, not surprisingly, "Tea Witch's Retreat." 🧙‍♀️🫖🐸 #kidlitArt #childrensIllustration #bookCover #mgbooks #witch #coverArt #art

Hello It's my first #kidlitartpostcard day. I'm Kate gar-CHIN-skee and I have illustrated several narrative nf pb titles about wildlife. Atmospheric realism is my niche, and I would love to break into fiction as well. Does anyone have any tips for an effective #kidlitart postcard in this scenario?

Somebody asked me how to write a chapter book series proposal so I made up a fake example and it cracked me up — but now I’m like… wait is this so bad that it has crossed over into GOOD? 😂 #stilllaughing www.tumblr.com/literaticat/...

Ask the Agent:www.tumblr.com Hi Jenn! I'm curious, what goes into a chapter book proposal for editors? How much do you need? I know they all pretty much need to be series. I assume you'd need the first book in the series, do you…
