Writing as a parent is challenging. Author-illustrator @SarahLuAnn knows this firsthand.
Her new picture book had many starts and stops along the way because, well, life.

does harpercollins really not understand that authors—future and present—are witnessing this, and now the last place they’ll feel confident publishing with is the one leaving their employees out in the cold for weeks after asking for the bare minimum?

Unpopular opinion: I don't think high schoolers should be forced to read classic literature. I know, I wasn't ready until much later.

That's our future.

All the Art Directors on here are furiously trying to save their links & artists for future use. NOW IS THE TIME TO LINK A WEBSITE IN YOUR BIO.
No not a alternative social media account. A website. That shows your work. And has your email address. No, not a contact form.

Are there any #autistic or #neurodivergent literary agents that are accepting queries? Does anyone in #kidlit or #WritingCommunity have any suggestions? #MSWL hasn't been able to help. Thank you!! 💓
