What's New? August 2010

I had a great time in D.C. at the ALA conference! Highlights: Meeting the other Poetry Princesses, 2 great signings with Capstone, & the Poetry Blast! You can see pix, and here's a series of blog posts called ALA 101: Tips for Unknown Writers.

Here’s my latest news:

* Wrote three found poems for submission for an anthology. I had a lot of fun working on them!

* My two latest Capstone books are out: Y Is for Yak: A Zoo Alphabet and J Is for Jingle Bell: A Christmas alphabet. They are so cute—Capstone did a great job with the art/design.

* Clarion passed on a ms. they’d had almost 3 years. I'm bummed, BUT hopeful for a project my editor and I both love.

* Working on a book about using photos to inspire/deepen poetry.

* Fingers crossed about a ms. another editor’s considering.

* Making plans for the Kidlit Con in October here in Mpls!

Hope you’re having an easy, breezy summer!
