NO MORE CHARACTERS DYING. If they die they better be coming back as an immortal, cause I just can't watch beloved characters die anymore, it's too traumatic. #MSWL idea stolen from @JessicaMileo

No more dark #mentalhealth manuscripts. I want the characters to struggle with other things but their mental health to be a given reality that they cope with. #MG #YA #MSWL

Claire Draper 🏳️‍🌈 @draper_claire

And I'm happy to talk more about publishing and what does and does not work in children's books! Ask me questions. Even if you don't want to query me, I am happy to offer my knowledge of this field.

I'd rather you all know what to do before you send a query than get passed over because it doesn't make sense for the genre or age group. #MSWL #amwriting #amquerying #litagent #mg

At the garden, one of the grad photo shoot bro groups was picking where to eat.

“Chik-fil-a?” one said.

“Dude. You know I can’t eat there.”

“Right, bro, sorry. Cyclo Noodles?”

“Wait, why can’t you eat there?” said a third

“Because I LIKE DICK, TYLER.”

“Oh! Okay, sorry.”
