Kidlit friends! What is the wildest thing you have done on your writing journey?? I’ll go first: I attended a pitch event with an Australian publisher I love, @LarrikinH , at 1:30 a.m. in the morning. And it was worth it! What about you??👇

THIS👇!! The publishing industry is incredibly difficult. The odds are low, the passes pitfalls are painful, but the community is a pillar to hold us up. If you haven’t already, you should listen to the @YMWJPodcast episode w/@AmyNielsen06 on this topic!

The odds of getting traditionally published (1-2%), is around the same as the percentage of actors (2%) who are able to make a living with acting.
Let that sink in. #writingcommunity, you are defying the odds.
