#KidLitChat This is a tough question. I depend a lot on my agent. Because I assume she has a better knowledge of the market than me. I also read Publisher's Weekly, chat with other authors agented/published, and have done SCBWI/Highlights workshops with editors to know more.
TOPIC: The publishing industry changes daily, it seems. What are the most reliable sources for information on the currents and eddies that can affect how you navigate your creative career--publications? professional panels? best-seller lists? #kidlitchat

#KidLitChat Also helpful information during virtual conferences when editors spoke. Hearing directly what areas they see the market surging seems helpful-ish. I say -ish, because we regularly hear that if we write to market we'd be behind the trend. So write our hearts. I try to do that.

#kidlitchat I won't lie, I wish I had someone handling all that behind-the-scenes business stuff!
