Cricket Magazine was an unlikely goal on a whim that set me on an unexpected children’s poetry adventure last year. And now, so honored to have a poem in the latest issue of cricketmediainc ! (and thanks to Little Thoughts Press for giving this one its first home). #kidlit #compost

And in the meantime, get inspired by the incredible writing from this issue's guest editor CK Malone (They/Them) by checking out their story 'A Certain Type,' from our New Beginnings issue, which you can download and read for free: cmtaylor.gumroad.com/l/ltpmag5

Subs for our Pride close on 4/15 & though we have some amazing work to consider so far, subs are slower for this window than usual. Do you know a #kidlit creator who would really shine with this theme? Tag them in the replies & help us spread the word!
