The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Fantastic!

Some of you may know that since leaving the business side of publishing, I've focused on my writing and I'm blessed today to reveal the cover of my debut picture book MUSIC OF THE MOUNTAINS, out with Barefoot Books in May 2025, illustrations by Manal Mirza.

For all parents! 👀 MAKING IT UP is an amazing new technique for unstructured play with your kids, making games more fun and rewarding for everyone. Cover was just revealed - book releases in Jan 2026! Find out more: www.christophermannino.com/miu.html #parenting #booksky #books #nonfiction

I made a list of all the pitch events we know about in the BlueSky #WritingCommunity so far. I've included links to all the hashtags, whether they're an agent pitch or a hype event, what kinds of manuscripts are included, and the accounts associated with the events! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

ANNOUNCEMENT In interest of saving characters for your pitch, I've realized that WIPSnipsPit is really long, so WIPSnipsPit is now going to use the hashtag #WSPit This leaves more room for other tags and your pitch! Full tags list and details coming soon. Mark your calendars for Feb 26!
