Do you have a bratty little brother? Is he always messing with your stuff? Picking on you? Making trouble? Amy knows exactly how you feel.

WEBSITES HELPFUL TO WRITERS
This is a series of posts which, I think, will be beneficial to writers.
But first, I would like to include my usual warning about using websites.

20 Years, 30 Multicultural Books, 275 Fun Educational Products
Vote in comments on your favorite book (and catalog subtitle)
It’s hard to believe that Sounds in the House – Sonidos en la casa, our first children’s mystery, was published 20 years ago! It’s been quite an adventure (since our first publisher died the day we were to print). We’ve had a lot of wild and funny exploits—and are gratified to be among the few publishers for young readers to survive two full decades.
OFFERINGS
By year’s end, we’ll have 30…

WIP 2024 - March results
Well, March was a better month for writing than February. I wrote a bit of this and that, but I didn’t finish any of the outstanding WIPs. That’s okay. I’m feeling optimistic about April.
I’d like to take a minute to share ALL of the books that are currently available on Amazon in case you haven’t checked in a while. I’m proud of all my babies (books) and am eternally hopeful that each and…

2024 Children's and Middle Grade
There are quite a few Nosy Crow books on the list. I went through the publishers who have catalogues first and that’s how it panned out. The next children’s and middle grade releases will hopefully be more balanced.

The quiet creative zone or what happens after you sign with an agent
For the last eight years, one of my writing goals has been to find a literary agent. Last October, in a surreal moment on my birthday, I got “the call.” Actually, in our post COVID world, it was a request for a Microsoft Teams virtual meeting.
It was really happening.
At the meeting, we talked about ourselves, our dreams, my book. Then Tia Mele made me an offer of representation. Because I…

They make us use them, not the other way round. We are merely their slaves doing their bidding, moving them from place to place instead of simply…

Let's talk about screenplays
So you’re asking, what does a children’s book writer (me) know about screenplays and scripts for television or radio? Until a few months ago, absolutely nothing. Forward a few months, and I find myself representing a screenplay writer, who has also published many books. I know many facets of the publishing, editing, and promoting industry of writing, so how hard could this be?
Well, editing the…
