🧵I've been meeting with editors all week and asking most of them two questions. 1) What keeps you reading a submission? 2) As far as craft, what advice do you have for authors? And I'm sharing some of that with you today! #writingcommunity #amquerying

UKLA 2025 11-14 longlist read #5. I love a verse novel, for an emotionally heavyweight story you can read in one sitting. This one was beautiful, with gorgeous characters, set in the Irish famine @SarahCrossan @The_UKLA #UKLA25
