Another submission request! 🥹🤞🏾 I’m learning to celebrate every milestone in this querying journey. An agent who previously read my work invited me to share another manuscript! I have such a good feeling about this agent. Nothing is guaranteed, but I’m grateful, proud, & not giving up! 💚

It's inspired by growing up as the oldest of seven and the shenanigans that ensued. Did your brother cover himself in ketchup and convince you he stabbed himself or is your family normal? Yes, that happened! Yes, it shaved 10 years off my life. 😂 @kidlitgn.bsky.social kidlitgn.com/middle-grade...

📚 WRITERS! I have TWO editorial spots open! ✒️ Copyediting, line editing, or developmental editing: $0.03/word (up to 120K words). Discounts for booking two services! 🔎 Proofreading: $750 flat rate (up to 120K words). ✨ 11 years of experience! 💌 DM me to book or ask questions!

Hello, beautiful people! I’m selling some of my original abstract artwork to help my family with groceries, bills, and everyday necessities while I'm on the hunt for a job. 🤞🏾 🎨 5×7 prints: $15 💕 Two prints: $25 ❤️ All prints: $35 📦 Free US Shipping If you’d like to purchase, please DM me!

💜 I’m raising $150 to finish the year in my children’s publishing mentorship! I need $75 by Sunday to continue. Every $5 donation receives a set of my custom bookmarks. Shares help, too! 💚 CA: $keydavis0713 💙 VM: @keydavis21 💛 PP: paypal.me/keyannabutler

A little publishing milestone I’m quietly celebrating. 💜 An agent I deeply admire invited me to chat about my picture books and my interest in becoming a literary agent. No expectations, just genuine gratitude for the opportunity. It’s lovely when someone in the industry opens a door. 🥹

I think December 7th will be my last query of 2026. 💜 I'm hoping for some good publishing news before Christmas, but I'm also trying to protect my peace. I've worked so hard this year, and while rejection is part of the journey, I'd really love to end 2026 with a little joy, hope, and rest. 🥹📚

A little publishing win! 🥹💜 A literary agent read my picture book, shared lovely feedback, and requested TWO more manuscripts! I officially submitted them! 😭 No guarantees, but this is one step closer to my dream of becoming a traditionally published children's author. 💜📚

I went to a workshop Tuesday night all about querying, and I learned that I write "slice-of-life" picture books and middle-grade graphic novels. I was so pleased to have a name for it.

I just finished writing a YA speculative mystery I’ve been working on since 2023. 🥹 3 years of rewriting, doubting myself, & refusing to give up. And you know what? I think it’s pretty damn good. Now to find an agent who loves it as much as I do. DELICIOUS MONSTERS x VERONICA MARS. BOOM! 🎤

Shooting my shot during the #KidLitGN Pitch Event. Editors and agents will start reviewing pitches on October 7th. Wish me luck! 🤞🏾📚

I spent time editing my middle-grade graphic novel about a 13-year-old Black girl and her adventures babysitting her 6 siblings. It was a nice change of pace. It's so funny and relatable. Hope I can find an agent to champion it one day. ❤️

Sierra is excited for her sister Samara’s senior prom. But when Samara asks her to pick the most important song of the day, Sierra’s excitement changes to nervous butterflies. She wants to pick a song that shows Samara what she means to her. But Sierra is up for the challenge. #DVPit #PB #OWN #BVM

But when Zora returns to school with an LVAD, Kenya no longer knows how to play safely with her best friend. However, Kenya soon realizes they can learn to have fun in new ways. #DVPit #PB #OWN #BVM

When Zora returns to school after open-heart surgery, Kenya wonders why her best friend can't play the way they used to. But when Zora explains, Kenya uses her imagination to come up with new games that keep the fun going and keep her best friend safe. #DVPit #PB #OWN #BVM

When Harley finds out someone ate her afternoon snack, she doesn't sniffle; she searches for suspects. With her notebook and detective hat, she's on a mission to find the culprit, even if it's her cat, Mr. Pickles. #DVPit #PB #OWN #BVM

Harley puts her cookie away to eat after her nap. But when she wakes, all that's left are crumbs. She's determined to find out what happened. And everyone’s a suspect, especially Pickles, the cat. #DVPit #PB #OWN #BVM

When life suddenly changes, you don't walk away; you adapt. Inspired by a true story, two young girls navigate their friendship when one is diagnosed with heart failure. Our New Way to Play is a sweet picture book about Black girlhood and unconditional love. #DVparty
