PBChat Read read read. CookiePitch book club has been an amazing way to learn how to look at PBs with a critical eye, incl. 1st lines (Thanks Ebony Lynn Mudd and Jerrold Connors!). Sara Kruger 📕's #PBFirstLines is a great resource specifically for 1st lines #PBChat

For new #writersoftwitter , I thought it might be helpful to share some of the hashtags I use here as a #kidlit author:

Bonds are having a moment.

I submitted my application to the 2022 #PBChat mentorship! I am excited for this opportunity. Now I’m off to my first college visit with my son. 😊

The Times today reported on a poll of 2000 parents, saying that 9/10 read bedtime stories to their children. Imagine your story being read to all those children! Wouldn’t that be amazing? #kidlit #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter #pb #PBChat #mg (Image:Pixabay).

I put in my application for #PBChat . I think I’ve applied every year since it began! Hope hope hope this year is the one.🤞🏼

I’m only 200 followers away from 2000. Once I hit that goal, I want to celebrate by giving away a free rhyming or non-rhyming critique (up to 600 words). #SCBWi #PB #KidLit #AmWriting #PbChat

Super excited to be a #PBRisingStars mentor this year! It's so amazing to have an opportunity like this to lift writers up, especially after the #PBChat mentorship helped with my own journey before. Can't wait to dig into applications and see all the magical matches! 🤩📚💖

Feeling a little like my MC Snake as I'm coming off several nights of working well past midnight (okay, 12:15, but I'm 35 so that's basically 3 am). But #PBChat Mentorship application has been submitted, so #worthit . Now we wait. And sleep. #amquerying #kidlit #KidLitArtPostcard
