Picture books I grabbed off the New Books shelf but then put back for next time (considering my book bag was already full and my son was already carrying a second stack for me 🥴)
LIBRARY! Today I raided the I-J section of the fiction picture books. 1—These are the ones I grabbed
When one of your students brings you a mosaic of fresh farm eggs for finals week breakfast 😍
My favorite assignment from my Making Comics class was Dadaist collage zines. This one was made by one of my 16yo students! Dadaism was an art and literature movement born out of the chaos of WWI. The Dadaists figured that after their world was shaken by war, nothing made sense, so why not process that absurdity by making nonsense art? “Dada” is a nonsensical sound to represent the meaning from meaningless art.
First mosaic of the year, hopefully not the last.
Free comic book day at the library! We made Once,But,And comics from @meggietheramm, created story spines from Ken Adams, and folded and drew and collaged dozens of zines.
Reading Look! Babies Head to Toe! by Robie H. Harris and @foxville_art 😍 Already my little starfish’s favorite book (and we have many!)
Quick oil pastel apple today
Trying not to cry today. I spilled coffee all over my computer last week and IT doesn’t think it’s salvageable. I couldn’t log into my loaner computer and my projector isn’t working. Pretty crappy birthday so far, but one of my students made me these needle-felted dinosaurs at a birthday party, and they are bringing me joy.

About Me

I've been grading grammar homework since 2005 and editing fiction and poetry since 2008. In 2013, I started editing comics and full manuscripts for novelists and literary agents.

Read "7 Reasons to Make Me Your Editor."

In 2015, I assembled a team of freelance editors of various specialties.

In 2020, I earned my MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at Hamline University.

See what I'm up to.
