This week’s Black Publishing History shoutout is for Virginia Hamilton! In 1975, for her YA novel M.C. Higgins, the Great was also the first book to ever sweep the Newbery, National Book, and Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards. An icon! #SerendipityLit #BlackPublishingHistory #BHM

Real tired of this free speech platform requiring me to be "John Green." I AM A SOCK COMPANY. Am I *also* a person? I guess. But PRIMARILY I am a company that sells socks to fund a maternity ward. And if I've learned anything from America, it's that companies are people, too.

We fully endorse mentor texts, because what is writing if not taking things that worked and making them work for us?
Replying to @EmmaRoseWriter
A lot of times I steal the plots of things I really like? Not the entire plot, obviously, but I feel more creative being like "oh there's a curve here and a breakup here" while reading the plot summary for Bridget Jones than with like Save the Cat, even if it's probably the same
We do love @stdennard in this household!!!
