WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

Delighted to announce that LK Literary is now representing creator LEE WHITE, illustrator of 25+ books, including picture books: THIS PRETTY PLANET, KATE WHO TAMED THE WIND, and LOVE, SANTA, as well as novels SUNSHINE and I LIVED ON BUTTERFLY HILL, among others.

Illustrations by Lee White, author/illustrator www.leewhiteillustration.com; Represented by Lori Kilkelly at LK Literary Agency Clockwise from top left: 2 boys racing downhill on the same bike. The boy in the back has arms raised in exhilaration. In the distance there is blue water and a small town. Red Riding Hood is in the foreground holding a basket, with a foreboding wolf, that presents almost as a shadow, behind her. Bare blue trees with no leaves are in the background. Red poppies surround the girl. A girl stands next to her bicycle looking into the distance at what appears to be a magical city. A child and their pets are all on the living room floor. The child is drawing. A girl with blue headphones, dark hair pulled into a ponytail, a black backpack, green shirt, and brown pants sings with her eyes closed as she walks down a sidewalk. Small blue notes can be seen above her head.

Hello #KidLitArtPostcard Day! My name is Lauren Eldridge and I’m a dimensional illustrator who recently celebrated Earth Day with this plastic fella. I’m fantastically represented by Lori Kilkelly of @lkliterary.bsky.social and can be found at eldridgestudio.com.

Hey! I made a sea turtle out of single-use plastic bags and finished up just in time to celebrate EARTH DAY! 🌎 Visit me on insta (@eldridgestudio), and check him out… then go plant a tree! HAPPY EARTH DAY! 🌎🐢❤️ #kidlitart #kidlit #picturebookart #earthday #greenseaturtle #earthdayart #lkliterary

This green sea turtle is made to scale and anatomically correct with an artistic flair. Its insides are made from wire, foam, and plaster cloth, but everything visible is from single-use plastic bags, which were layered and sculpted over the base using mod podge. The sea grass is made from (unused) poop bags pulled through chicken wire.

I just found out that some AI scammer is sending emails to writers using my name, former title, & likeness. I feel like the only way to combat this is with weirdness, so if you get a publishing email from me out of the blue, you’ll know it’s really me if it contains the following as a word: 🦑

I read Judy Blume, Lois Duncan, Carolyn Keene, Francine Pascal, Madeline L'Engle, Mary Higgins Clark, V. C. Andrews, Judith Krantz, Danielle Steel, Patricia Cornwell, and on and on, and literally whatever I could get my hands on. Let your kids read broadly and fall in love with books.

I jumped from Judy Blume to Dean Koontz and Stephen King. Then there was Anne Rice. There was no delineation like we have today. You just devoured books. Wish we allowed kids today to do the same instead of pointing out everything they can’t read. Maybe, then, they would feel empowered to read.

I feel like as a tween/young teen we didn't have as many YA options as kids do now. So we just read whatever we could find on our parents' shelves, right? And I found @stephenking.bsky.social. #91 (1970s) #books #booksky #genxreader #readingcommunity #365books

If you have the means, preorder your favorite author’s next book. Why? 1. It boosts publisher and retailer confidence, which leads to more support. 2. It can increase the initial print run, reducing launch-week shortages. 3. It helps secure stronger shelf placement instead of back-corner exile.

AT LAST our wait is over, and we can officially share these 2 things we’ve been bursting to talk about since late summer ’24. I’m so proud to announce that LK Literary Agency now represents AUTHOR Eileen Whitehead Robinson whose beautifully unique voice and perspective will no doubt become 5/

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

I love these two humans. I have the honor of calling both CG & Eileen friends! This will be an amazing book and I can’t wait to let them double Dutch into your hearts!

Disclaimer: The way #ALAyma awards are broadcast makes it VERY tricky to screengrab/crop/post and there's no pausing or rewatching the live feed. I wish there was time to include text to describe screenshots, but it's just too fast. I couldn't even snag all the honors at the beginning!
