Hello, #teachers and #librarians, I want to visit your students! Either in person, or via video chat, I've got presentations packed with writing tips like teaching the Pixar formula and more! Interested in booking me? Just fill out this form: pullerwrites.wordpress.com/c…

Still time to register! TONIGHT, I join forces with Humanity Rising to present "From Bystander to Upstander with Author J.S. Puller" the story of how bullying and Pixar movies helped me create CAPTAIN SUPERLATIVE. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

"The school library...had always meant safety, joy. Freedom to read and explore and rest." THE GINGHAMS by @tckemperwrites is a phenomenal middle grade adaptation of The Stepford Wives, both chilling and life-affirming. Highly recommend! #amreading #mglit goodreads.com/en/book/show/2…

"Demons were meant to be confronted. I would face mine." THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME by @ilona_andrews is a wild ride. If you like seeing fantasy crash with reality, this is a must-read: goodreads.com/book/show/2311…

I made it on screen in the season 12 opening episode of @NBCChicagoMed!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending a @SpecLit reading at After-Words in River North. So excited to learn more about this organization! Check them out: speculativeliterature.org/

A HUGE congratulations to my agent, Bonnie Swanson, and my agency sibling, Dawn Davison, on their new book deal! I've read some of Dawn's stuff, and this is definitely a series you'll want to watch out for.

October 21, I have the honor of partnering with @Humanity_Rising to present "From Bystander to Upstander with Author J.S. Puller." If you have teens in your life who want to learn about how to stop bullying and build a better story, pass this link on: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi…

I am beyond excited about this. THE CREATOR is a piece that's been near and dear to my heart for a very long time. Thank you so much to the amazing team at Theatre Off The Square, including the awesome performers who participated in the weekend's reading. #amwriting #theatre

Still digesting how I feel about the #Lanterns finale. But I did love the distinction of, "Lanterns are cops. John is a superhero." Curious to see where it goes from here...

Chicago #theatre lovers! Make sure to add this free reading to your calendar. Strong Branch is presenting four awesome scripts, including one of mine, at the @Goblinmkt on October 14!

Beyond thrilled to announce that my play, THE CREATOR, is going up for a reading with Theatre Off the Square in Texas, in a few weeks. More about the play: newplayexchange.org/script/2… More about the company: theatreoffthesquare.org/ #amwriting #theatre

My immensely talented friend, @lpiotrowski80, spotted a copy of THE LOST THINGS CLUB at @BookendsTweets this weekend. More about my book: hachettebookgroup.com/titles… Preorder Leslie's: abramsbooks.com/product/nort… #kidlit #mglit

Happy #ArtsEd week. If you haven't, make sure to check out Arts Education and Social-Emotional Learning Outcomes Among K-12 Students, the report I was fortunate enough to work on with a team made up of scholars from @UChiConsortium and @IngenuityChgo. consortium.uchicago.edu/publ…

Some fun #nailart to kick off the week.

Another local bookstore to love. This time, it's @lfbooks, up in the northern 'burbs. #amreading

B IS FOR BROADWAY by @johnny_allman and @peteremmerich is a joyous love letter to Broadway. So grateful to my parents for grabbing me a copy at the @museumbroadway. #amreading #theatre

Happy birthday, @StarTrek. To anyone out there who doesn't understand the brilliance of this franchise, maybe think about giving it a watch today. Live long and prosper. youtube.com/watch?v=S7gNg0ni…

I went to a party, wearing this shirt. As I'm in the elevator, a little old man wheels in, leaning over his walker. He turns and looks at me. After reading my shirt, he says, very matter-of-factly, "Billy did." So I turned around and showed him the back. He laughed. #theatre

Thrilled to share that The Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, CT will be performing my play, WOMEN WHO WEAVE, at the end of October. #amwriting #theatre More about the play, available from @ConcordShows: concordtheatricals.com/p/100…

These star-bellied nails have stars upon thars. #nailart
