Yesterday was World Ocean Day! Our beautiful deep seas are a treasure, and I love to write books about them... #kidlit #STEM #amreading #amwriting #writingcommunity #worldoceanday #books #edusky #education #nonfiction

To anyone reading this - we are ACTIVELY SEEKING someone to cover indie comics as a regular beat...but everyone is making 15 minute videos now and it's hard to get them to put down the camera. I get that we need both platforms. Anyway who wants to write about comics, DM me.

Check out these super #kidlit Spring books--both fiction and non-fiction, for babies, kids, and tweens too!
