#KidLit friends, I am hearing rumblings that the desire for middle grade is slowly inching up again. Your moment may be closer than you think, so maybe it's time to consider dusting off that manuscript you've been too afraid to even think about.

Stayed up until 2am reading a romcom, as is tradition.
The worst part of writing a story for adults is having to pretend to care about the characters’ jobs. I’m off the clock, what am I doing worrying about deadlines and career satisfaction!!
My children: *refusing to wear shoes outside* Also my children: *stepping on rocks* OWWWWWW
I find it soooo hard to DNF a book. 60% through one and feel like I gotta see it through, to get credit towards my Goodreads count.
I want to finish the first draft of my romcom so baaaad but it takes so looooong
Been kicked in the teeth a lot since March, and as we deal with our latest (hand foot & mouth disease), I’d just like to put it out there that a win would be really nice. And if not a win, then a draw. And if not a draw, then maybe I could just sit this game out for a little while.
Thank you for the lovely review! 💛💛💛
Ronna Mandel@ronnawriter.bsky.social · last yr.Check out this #SEL picture book starring a sponge, a big job, + a great BIG SQUEEZE. @mollyharris.bsky.social’s in debut (w/ Alison Hawkins illustrating) is a hit! Watch Sponge go from a mess to sparkling w/help from pals. Reviewed on blog by author Roxanne Troup. #booksky #kidlit wp.me/p3X25n-bg8
I need to update my author website, and as a web developer I’m usually happy to, but I’m finding Squarespace templates to be clunky and kinda ugly. Anyone LOVE their Squarespace theme?
✨ COVER REVEAL✨ Plug into your charging base and get ready to battle… WHIRBY is now available for preorder! Written by me and illustrated by Jacob Souva, this bedtime story is full of clinking, clanging, beeping, banging, and the most gorgeous, rich robot world you could imagine. OUT 2/17/26!
There is no time I’d rather write than when I’m in my day job.
There are a million important things happening in the world. But if I may, for just one moment, throw my coin into Bluesky like a wishing well: please, please, please can I have some good news soon? The long silences of publishing is so deafening and it’s weird we accept it.
