Now that we can have civilized conversations again w/o bots and algorithms messing with us, I'm wondering how #kidlit editors are feeling about submissions these days?
Overwhelmed? Bored? Excited?
I'm wondering if we've all already entered the anhedonia that election years tend to bring to us.

OKAY!! zine fest is done, time for our regularly scheduled kidlit content! (Except that it's international zine month and I'm super inspired after my zine fest to make more zines, so I will) 😤👏😩

Tip for book publicists & book creators:
Do NOT show up unannounced at a book blogger's home to drop off a copy of your book (this didn't happen to me but to a friend).
Do NOT send a copy of your book/ARC/f&g without asking first. (This DOES happen to me).
Any other tips?

Ray’s Big Day is now available! This is my debut picture book as author/illustrator. There’s so much nerdy space and science packed into this story. It’s the type of book I wished I had as a kid.

I’ve made a #Kidlit AUTHORS starter Pack to compliment @charlenedraws.bsky.social ‘s illustrators packs - the limit of 50 accounts woefully underrepresents the volume of authors here, but please check out the feeds, where we have thousands of accounts aggregating. go.bsky.app/K1mpium

My new graphic novel is out TODAY! The Pale Queen is a gothic fantasy about dangerous bargains, a mysterious woman with yellow eyes, astronomy, old magic and new love. It's about queerness and dubious mentors, both in fairy tales and in life. Find it now, wherever you get books!

Thinking on maybe traditionally illustrating my picture book pitch samples? I've been told my colors are more fun traditionally than digitally and I agree 🤔

Wait should we glaze the work that's on our portfolios as well? I feel like when I've used glaze, it feels different with that added swirling ?

My morning routine is to wake up with cat(s) on top of me, stay in bed for far to long with them, and then I rush through the rest!
