After getting an Honorable Mention in PBParty, I got myself in gear and queried the manuscript last week. Fingers crossed!

It’s been a whirlwind of excitement for me. I was a finalist in PBParty, found an amazing agent and am helping to host kidlitzombieweek. I’ve written 2 new manuscripts and have been doing a lot of editing. I also have a wonderful new critique group. #kidlitchat

Sometimes authors/friends ask what I do to celebrate the small wins in publishing - I use the ego boost like a sugar rush and push forward on all the projects I've been neglecting :) Just finished a new #PB ! How do you celebrate the small joys? #kidlit #writingcommunity #pbparty #amwriting
