#QuestPit #MG #Q #C #ownvoices (Now submitting to small presses!!!) 10y/o Iris isn't like other girls... instead of having a phone on her at all times, she has her inhaler ( and her tablet since her dad won't let her get a phone yet) 🫁

Found this photo of me at my first fishing derby 🎣 and now I'm drafting a chapter book about a silly boy trying his best to win a $300 prize pool for catching the biggest fish. (Now that I've been querying for almost a year, it's been hard to write, but inspiration has struck!)

5th grade is embarrassing enough. But being known as the girl with asthma makes it's 100x worse. Can Iris beat her reputation and become something more than the girl who can't breathe before she enters middle school? #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #MG for reluctant readers, 26K WORDS

Falling in love with your childhood best friend. Meeting your favorite rock & roll band. Getting in trouble with the cops. Turning 15. The Summer of 1975 couldn't get crazier right? Wrong.🍑 Almost Famous X The Summer I Turned Pretty #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #YA #HF

Honest opinions only. Is it cringey to make a banner of all the poems I wrote about my fiancé in high-school for our wedding? Some are god awful, but that makes it sweet... right?

Happy Valentines Day! 🍑❤️
