My first book came out in 2018 and is still so dear to my heart (and a fan favorite!) I'm always thankful to the @wifyr conference for helping me figure out the publishing biz & @CedarFortBooks for giving me my first shot!

Finished my critiques for @wifyr, but there's still time to join my workshop! If you've been on the fence, wanting to sign up but afraid to swamp the teacher, hesitate no more. Come and join a great group of novelists and PB writers: bit.ly/3K1ZzR0

WOHOOOOOO! Cover reveal day for A Dupatta Is... Thank you for hosting, Mr. Schu! And thank you to the amazing team that helped bring this book to life! @anumationart @Editrix_Em @seymouragency @Lynnette_Novak @FeiwelFriends @ArtbyMariamQ
Replying to @MrSchuReads
"The book is an ode to dupattas which are beautiful and colorful of course, but they're also fun, functional, and carry the sounds and smells of family and identity." -@MarziehAbbas mrschureads.blogspot.com/202…

Assisting @Kid_Lit and @kris10edits for an outline class that I can already tell is going to be HUGE for my writing life. Always been a pantser but struggle when I hit those murky middles. Class not just for #kidlit. Join us! June 13-15 WIFYR.com #WritingCommunity

This is fantastic news and so deserved. Buy. This. Book.
Stop it. If you would have told me years ago I’d have a #1 book in this category—teen mental health—I would have laughed. I didn’t think I’d ever write about living with anxiety because it’s messy and painful…but beautiful…and I guess that’s what this story is all about.

Friday #writing tip: The premise becomes your logline. Summarize it to a sentence or 2, and include all aspects mentioned in my tips earlier this week. Keep writing! #WritingCommunity #writingtips #Writer #Editor #amwriting #writerslift #fiction #kidlit #editing

Monday #writing tip: Establish your story's premise up front: Show what your character wants, why they want it, and what stands in their way within the opening scenes. #WritingCommunity #writingtips #writerslift #Writer #Editor #editing #amwriting #kidlit #fiction #romance
