#agented #kidlit folks When you and your agent decide to not send out a work any longer, what do you do with them? Do you keep them in a folder, cannibalize them, rework them for a magazine? Thoughts?

I’ve got a couple extra ARCs of the first book in my newest series, Scare School Diaries, which launches this summer. Want one? To enter to win one, RT/like this tweet and follow me. I’ll randomly pick a winner soon. Bonus entry: tag a pal who might like an ARC, too! 👻

Win a copy of this adorable board book, with each spread showcasing the love between a caregiver and a child. To enter, RT by 5/3, US only. Tell me your favorite flavor for an extra entry! If your favorite is vanilla, you're disqualified (kidding...two of my kids love vanilla).
