This is the trailer park I lived in as a pregnant teen in the 80s & the setting of my YA debut. My daughter took this pic today. I don’t know how to feel. Grateful? That baby I had in poverty is now a lawyer. And I’m an author! It was all WORTH IT. #AuthorsOfTwitter #2024debut

As a homeless teen, I had a child before I was eighteen. I had an abortion not long after. Do the research. Teen mothers are at higher risk of suicide, domestic abuse, poverty, and homicide than their non-parent-teen peers. #WritingCommmunity I'm no longer afraid to share!

Finished development edits-removed a minor character, removed two scenes, combined two chapters, revised a side character arc. And that’s just the major revisions. But it’s done! #WritingCommmunity #2024debut

I'm so excited to be starting the new year repping picture book author @heather_stigall . PARTY BREAK made me long for the nostalgia of birthday party staples such as Pin the Tail on the Donkey and candy-filled pinatas. I can't wait for my son's next birthday! @Tpurcellagency

I don't like Mastadon, Counter Social, or Melon Husk. Anyone want to be pen pals? #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

OMG! So many ugly happy tears. Reminds me of a PB author who pitched to me today her story about all the different types of tears. When your people show show up, you can shed tears across the spectrum! #WritingCommmunity

THREAD 1/ #WritingCommunity . @AmyNielsen06 is getting A LOT of hate after being badly misquoted at today’s Boston Writers Workshop. I’m sure it wasn’t an intentional misquote by the original poster, but it’s taken on a life of its own. If you know ME at all, please trust me…

In Mexico for vacation and my autistic son, who struggled for years in his native language, answered “agua” when asked what he wanted to drink. Proud Mom Moment! #cancun #AutismAwareness

I just read one of the most twisted and unique horror queries and opening pages. Totally requested the full. MSWL identity crisis—twisted horror, sappy romance, laugh-out-loud picture books. #amquerying

When was the last time you hauled out an ironing board and iron? I can't remember. Either I don't care or clothes don't wrinkle as much! Fun fact, before flat irons were invented, my friends and I would IRON our hair to flatten it! Kids, don't try this at home.

Today in ABA: My son's therapist is helping him develop some big-boy habits and it's time. Today was giving up the sippy cup he's used since he was 2, he's 8. He was very sad. But we had a super cool big boy cup to replace it with. He has yet to take a sip out of it. #Autism

Apparently I was the first offer on a manuscript that’s taken over Twitter this week with offers and while I wasn’t the lucky agent, I am this author’s biggest fan and can’t wait to buy this book one day.

Every #WritingCommunity gets their start somewhere. Maybe it's an article for your high school newspaper, or a short story you pitched to an anthology. And if you are still waiting, hopefully the responses here will inspire you! I'll go first! #AuthorLife

Sometimes an indie publisher is the perfect fit! Even as a literary agent, it was for me! Getting your story out there is what matters. Not how. #amquerying

For my own personal use I’m making a list of small indie publishers that people have worked with and enjoyed. Soooo… be a doll and drop the name or website for the small publisher you’ve had a pleasant time writing with. 🤓📚

A tough night for this autism Mom. My son who also has an ID, is struggling to function at a 1st-grade level in 3rd grade. Daily F's come home. His self-esteem is shattered. I'm about to pull the plug and put him in an ASD school. He has SO many friends he'll miss. I'm💔 #Autism
