Mart Milagros Dooms the Earth was the biggest project volume wise for me last year. Can't wait for this finally being out!

THE BI BOOK, bravely & brilliantly illustrated by Cynthia Alonso, was an especially difficult PB to write, publish, promote etc. This means so much to me on so many levels. Thank you! Cast your votes for your fave books in every division from 6/26-7/17! www.scbwi.org/crystal-kite #kidlit #booksky

It's Anti-Prime day at Bookshop.org, so stop by and preorder a copy of MARTY MILAGROS DOOMS THE EARTH, and get free shipping. Let me know, and I'll ALSO send you free swag, like stickers and a signed bookplate. bookshop.org/p/books/mart...

My debut scifi/action/adventure for kids, MARTY MILAGROS DOOMS THE EARTH, is coming 9/29 to bookstores near you! It's about a kid who can't seem to stay out of trouble, accidently ending up in a mess that's out of this world. #OGN #graphicnovel #comics #kids #scifi #action #adventure #preorder

I can’t believe THE BI BOOK has been out for one year! 🥳 Thank you to everyone who has supported our brave little picture book. Much love! 💕 #bookbirthday #kidlit #kidlitart #queerkidlit #booksky

Hi #kidlitartpostcard! You shouldn’t be surprised that I would love to do covers and comics for upper MG & YA audiences. Rep’d by @jenazantian.bsky.social Portfolio VVJones.com

Also to share, I have a ko-fi page where I post wallpapers and have some mini comics! You can donate/tip as support too! Thank you so much! 😭🙏🏽❤️ www.ko-fi.com/toondoon1010

"I want to say to the media here tonight that what you do matters. You have almost unimaginable power right now. I don’t mean that as a compliment. This isn’t “Congratulations bestie, you go girl!!” This is “Girl, get it together, because you have responsibility.” "

Goo morning, monsters. Whether you swim or fly or stomp or crawl take your own pace. That is what so frightens them. You’re coming as suits you. You’re coming it’s up to them to run. And there’s nothing they can do to stop you.

Imagining conversations with my younger self 😆✨

It’s Indie Bookstore Day! Authors ask their followers to “support your local indie” b/c they support us. I will never forget the kindnesses and support I received from hardworking booksellers during my debut year. Stop by an indie today! @peoplesbooktakoma.com #CuriousIguana #Wordplay #CityofAsylum

They stepped in and did some HEROIC last minute flatting work for my big OGN project. 5⭐! Fully recommend!

Having turned in final art for my OGN (yay!!) I finally made time to try and revive my sadly neglected blog. Please to enjoy a cover reveal! open.substack.com/pub/veronica...

If you get self-conscious about posting repeated promo, let me give you all my long-standing promo-hack, for free. (I'm not currently using it, but I will be soon! lol) This is a site without an algo, but also one that does not punish links. So what you want to do is make a strategic thread.

This morning's wake up call was a good reminder that sometimes we just need to enjoy the good things when they're happening :)

I'd argue it's worse than a blank page, in the same way that garment pieces cut slightly off the grain are worse than not having cut yet. When a thing is wrong, it will suck your energy into making it Less Wrong, which is often not the same as making it right.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page. I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft. Now, to be clear, fuck this. But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

One of my biggest projects as a flater this year had its cover released not too long ago.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Check out the cover reveal for @vvjonez.bsky.social 's graphic novel, MARTY MILAGROS DOOMS THE EARTH! Marty is a payaso (according to his mami), but now he has an alien AI living in his brain & might accidentally end the world. Or... save it? This funny MG graphic novel series is SO worth the wait!

Hi #kidlitartpostcard! I’m Veronica, sticking my head up every once in a while from coloring GN pages to see what everyone’s up to. I love sci-fi, fantasy and adventure! This is from a comic where 2 cousins find powerful mecha and need to save their city while the local superhero guardian is away.
