It might take me longer than usual to reply to the #PBParty Critique Train comments. I recently came home from the hospital after kidney failure & am exhausted & shaky. I'm cheering all of you on & will check as often as I can! 💕

Wahooo for your new PB and for hopping on the #PBParty Critique Train for the first time. 🥳 Do you need help adding your name and e-mail to the Google doc?

Yay for your new PB! Did you hop on the #PBParty Critique Train doc? Please let me know if you need help adding your name. :)

I know you finished your PB in time. I just added you at the end of the #PBParty Critique Train. 🥳 Angel Gantnier is the passenger ahead of you, and will do your critique. There might be one more person in your position--I'll let you know if they're added behind you.

Do you love middle grade books? If so, we hope you'll apply to join the The Mixed-Up Files blog. We're looking for authors, writers, teachers, librarians...or anyone excited about trade MG. Our blog has almost 1.2 MILLION views! 🎉 #MG #MGlit #kidlit fromthemixedupfiles.com/join-the-mixed…
