I’m so sorry I have to miss this tonight because I’m teaching, but huge congrats to all celebrating their book birthdays!

I had so much fun last night--even without books (yet)! So grateful to Albert Whitman & Co. for printing ARCs for those who had hoped to get the 'real' book last night! It's coming 11/22 (fingers crossed)!

If you have a 2022/2023 book coming out with a social or environmental justice theme, post it below. I’m putting together a reading list that will have wide distribution and I’d love to feature some newer titles, especially from underrepresented voices. Please RT.

This is TONIGHT!! Join us?

Hello, #amquerying #kidlit authors! I will be closing to queries at the end of the day Friday, Sept 2 in preparation for fall travel and conference season. I have a good many queries and fulls to get through and am trying to respond in a timely manner.

May be dipping into #SFFpit . If I like your tweet, query me at lane at thetobiasagency dot com with the first three chapters and synopsis as attachments. Include “SFFPIT” in the subject line and your tweet in the body of the email.

Thanks,

Lane
