Hey authors!NaNoWriMo is coming up! If you need someone / an editor to check over the materials you have prepped, I'm your girl! (Two years ago, I taught a NaNoWriMo prep class in September and it was the BEST experience, and why don't I teach that class every year???)

For those who say this isn't white supremacy, YES IT IS. 49% of US children are white. The MAJORITY of US kids are NON-white, yet 76% of kidlit books are by/about white people. This is white supremacy enforcement 101. #amreading #WritingCommunity #mglit #yalit
Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄 https://t.co/ipGu9DxtPa

"The Rabbit’s Gift is a twist on stork mythology that takes place in a neighboring country where human babies are grown and delivered by rabbits in exchange for the purple carrots they need to survive." -@jessicavitalis

Someone on goodreads described his books as, "lowkey terrifying in like...a whimsical and aesthetically pleasing way" and yes, yes exactly. Very accurate.

I've just realized that @Stefan_Bachmann has a book coming out next year and am suddenly in agony. January is eons away.

I really think publishing doesn't lend itself to critique partner relationships.

Several things have changed since becoming published, one of the main ones being that I've lost the ability to know how to make new critique partners. How?? I clearly used to have that skill!
