Weekend reading? Weekend flashback to 1975 #Cambodia Saturday 12 April - some remarkable and deeply remembered old 8 mm footage and a book to go with it: #film #BooksWorthReading @goodreads @IAN_AuthorPromo
Congrats to my author @MrLands for a silver medal in the @IPPYAwards! I hope this helps get his very important and creative book in front of more educators.
Get this – I recently found out that my book KNOWLEDGE-ABLE was awarded the Silver Medal by the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPYs) in the category of Education!
Thank you @IPPYAwards!

I got some great feedback from a client the other day. Sharing with permission: "I was really happy with your work, something I rarely am! It all felt just right - not too little, not too much!"
I love this. Could I be your Goldilocks editor? #amediting #winjar #indieauthors
20-year-old me would’ve jumped at this chance!!

On this #TransDayOfVisibility, I still cannot fathom what is so hard about loving and supporting trans people. I see you, I support you, I love you, and I will keep you safe to the fullest extent possible. Please don't make hate part of your worldview.
ALT A graphic showing the words "Trans Rights Are Human Rights," "Trans Day of Visibility," and "You are loved and safe with me." The background and graphics (a flower and a brown hand holding a trans flag) are in shades of pink and blue. The bottom has the hashtags #TransDayOfVisibility and #TDOV23 in black.
Many of you #NotAtACES crew followed along, but in case you missed it (or attended another session--gasp!), here's a helpful breakdown in tweets (and a bonus intro slide) of #ACESMastermind from #ACESEvolve. I organized them as thoughtfully as possible. wakelet.com/wake/6hxXzJ04wpN…
Wow. I should've done this via @buffer instead of just through IG. Sorry for the boring basic tweet. But check out @Monocle_editing on IG for tons of aftermath photos of #ACESEvolve as I settle back in.

It was rewarding to present the #ACESMastermind session at #ACESEvolve with my Saplings. We heard much chatter about forming new mastermind groups afterward, but someone has to reach out. If you are interested, find your potential peers!
Would love to connect with folks who are looking for growth and accountability and want to take their careers to the next level. Especially curious to talk to people who have day jobs and are ALSO freelancing. #ACESEvolve #ACESMastermind
Middle grade is not middle school. 8-12 years is a big range. A lot of things happen. Hello? Puberty? —@jenavarre

(Re: picture books) If the rhyme is not flawless, it’s going to hurt the story and it would be better in prose. —@jenavarre

Figure out who you are writing for. And stop asking who would want to read what I write. … It’s mostly women and people of color who do this.

If you’ve got a great editor, then you’ve got a champion by your side. And then you buy them bourbon.

It takes more thought to be a good editor but why would you want to be any other kind than a thoughtful editor? I want happy editors. Someone who really wants to work with writers.
