Hannah Moushabeck is genuinely one of the coolest, kindest, neatest people I know in publishing and everything she & Interlink are doing is incredible and I am NOT just saying this because I get fed at Queer Kidlit Camp every year!!!

Publishing Pride 2026: since taking the helm of Interlink, Hannah Moushabeck has been part of a growing effort to make the queer publishing landscape more intersectional, both on the children’s and adult sides

Are you like me an anxious reviser with a tendency toward the dramatic? Do you get lost in the weeds of everything you think you need to change?? I got to write a post about how I yank myself out of my feelings!! Kidlit Zombie Week has had some really great resources!

Pre-orders make all the difference in the world. If you think you'll want to hear the tale of Snaggletooth in all her Late Cretaceous glory, ordering from your favorite bookseller ahead of pub gives it buzz and a week one boost! Out on Oct. 27th, less than six months away now.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day y'all! I'm Julian, a queer 🏳️‍⚧️ picture book author & illustrator working in gouache. I love to paint our green & many-legged neighbors in all their scaly, slimy, slinky glory! I'm rep'd by Naomi Davis @ BookEnds Literary 🪲 julianplum.com 🌿 hello@julianplum.com

A digital postcard featuring a cross-section of a garden above and below the soil's surface. Plants grow lushly around the edges of the piece, full of leaves, ants, a mouse, a slug, and a newt. Sitting on the soil's surface, an adult with a shovel smiles lovingly at their kid sticking half-out of the soil, pretending to be a worm. A fat American toad looks on from the right, and on the left a friendly milk snake pokes her head out from under a leaf. The soil is full of roots and seeds and wriggly worms.

The text reads, "Julian Plum, represented by Naomi Davis at BookEnds Literary."

Ok. We all had our day to talk shit and be angry. But it's Wednesday now and I'd love to encourage the kidlit community to focus on our real fight. There are now 2 book banning bills introduced on the federal level. 7661, which we largely know about but now 2616, too. It's call your reps o'clock!

I'm out on sub for the first time ever and my amazing agent shared with me me a spreadsheet to track responses, which is both amazing for my nosy self and also enabling my worst habit of staring at it always haha
