Oh hey there #kidlit! Just jumping on here to say 8 days after Nic posted this, I got a very exciting email! 👀✨👀✨👀 Year’s not over yet!!!
I'm seeing all these "highlights of 2025" posts, and I'm over here like, "HEY!🫵 We got a whole month left! Things can and WILL still happen!"✨️ While December may be a slow month in publishing (aren't they all 🫠), let's not throw in the towel yet! 👀 #writingcommunity #onsub
