I’m not sure how to do a cover reveal on BSky, but @brennajeanneret.bsky.social and I are doing one on our VerseShow Instagram today honoring @armyvet5.bsky.social and Jason Griffin’s upcoming book On Fridays 👀 AND we had the best conversation with Winsome. So good. #kidlit

We did a couple of very important interviews for YMCAV that @brennajeanneret.bsky.social and I would appreciate you listening to. The first is with visual artist Jason Griffin, who illustrated @armyvet5.bsky.social’s September 2026 picture book On Fridays 👀 verse.show

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

A science fiction short story where a nonhuman race discovers the depiction of aliens in the majority of science fiction and just goes “are you f-ing kidding me?”

Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.

My first podcast! I talk about impostor syndrome, embracing my art and writing halves, and how laying on the floor feeling sorry for myself resulted in a book offer. www.verse.show/podcast/epis... Thanks @joshmonkwords.bsky.social and @brennajeanneret.bsky.social for having me on. It was a blast!

I donated a non-rhyming PB ms critique + publishing AMA. Can you boost @lzats.bsky.social?

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Reviewing this BEAUTY of a book, Island Storm, for the episode of the podcast that comes out tomorrow. So impressed with everything about it. Color and light, mottled painting style, but really the way it’s less about navigating a storm and more about sibling love and independence and exploration. ❤️

I'm agog! FORTS is one of @usatoday.com's bestselling #picturebooks this week! Thank you to all the indie bookstores who believe in this book and have been sharing it with their customers. ❤️💙📚 #kidlit www.usatoday.com/booklist/gen...

@asiqueira.bsky.social’s and my agent @joycesweeney.bsky.social feature big in this one! Another example of their amazing support and sensitivity for their clients. Ana is amazing. Go listen!

#kidlitmegafeed New Verse Show #podcast today! @joshmonkwords.bsky.social and I chat with @carriefinison.bsky.social about rhyme, her newest book Pigs Dig A Road and she even shares part of the story that got her agent AND the query letter! jmonken.podbean.com/e/carrie-fin...

Ask the Agent Question of the Day: What do people mean when they talk about their "Dream Agent"? I've just been querying agents who seem reputable and who do my kind of book -- should I know MORE about them? My answer: www.tumblr.com/literaticat/...

Anyone else know of PB agents who ask for multiple manuscripts in your initial query? Add them to the thread! And check out the podcast to hear why @brennajeanneret.bsky.social, @joshmonkwords.bsky.social, and I think this should be the industry norm. 👀

Loved this ep of #VerseShow & had to comment that the agent I signed with asks for PB queries with multiple MSs!! I think I sent her 3 stories when I queried. Makes SO much sense. @brennajeanneret.sky.social @joshmonkwords.bsky.social @chiaracolombi.com #kidlit www.podbean.com/ew/pb-jsr94-...
