Here's my attempt at a guide to writing effective alt and descriptive text for art work on Bluesky. I'll be posting bits of it here as a thread as well for easy sharing. I'm also open to critique and suggestions, so feel free to comment or ask questions! 📌

Good for you! I bet they loved it! I hope those copies go flying off the shelf like our favorite page of the book. The one where, at bedtime last night, my daughter asked me if the boxes really have wings. ❤️ 🪽(Hope it's ok to post the pic.) Beautiful work.

Took a big #kidlit step and signed books today!! I always hesitate to ask whenever I’m in a bookstore, but there’s something about NYC that makes me less shy. Signed copies at Books of Wonder and Barnes & Noble Union Sq! 💖
