Post-revpit, can I offer a little insight into mentorship contests? A mentor picks the writer who they have the strongest vision to help. Not getting in doesn't mean your work isn't quality. It doesn't even mean the mentor didn't love your book. 🧵

I applied! Courageous step of the day: check! While my fingers are crossed so tightly, I trust the mentors to know who they can best help and I am excited for those who get chosen. Such amazing mentors, all around. Thanks for the opportunity! #PBRisingStars

I've had The Macarena in my head for 2 days. The only consolation is at least it's not Baby Shark.

Look at the wonderful thing that got delivered today 🤩🤩. Janelle Harper MY BLOCK LOOKS LIKE available now! and Frank Morrison, what a work of art and heart!

I took a step back from writing for a few months to disengage from rejections until I could write for the joy of it. That's hard when I want so badly to be published and feel like I need to prove myself. But I'm back, trying again. I'd love to reconnect with you #WritingCommunity

So true. Eerie 😂
