Hi, I'm a storyteller, and here is today's PSA:

Happy endings are not a weakness.
Happy endings are not a silly thing for people who can't handle reality.
Happy endings don't make a story any less serious or artistic.

Stories with happy endings have an important part to play in our emotional wellbeing.

#Introduction

I'm a senior acquisitions editor at Beaming Books, an independent nonprofit publisher based in Minneapolis. We publish books that help kids thrive socially, emotionally, and spiritually. I primarily acquire #picturebooks.

I love using social media to follow #authors, #illustrators, #agents and other #publishing folks. If that's you, please follow and boost me so I can find others in the #kidlit space.

Looking forward to connecting!

Listen to the whisper of a winter tree. It might tell you a story of the last summer.

Thank you so much for such a warm welcome to Mastodon! 👋

It's always nice to find people who appreciate my artwork, and it's super friendly here too, even if it's a little tricky to find your way around at first (and big thanks to @esdin for lots of helpful tips!) 💙

Here's a couple more of my posters. I have a whole bunch of these, but I suspect a lot of them will need to come with a content warning as they're mainly dark genre (but still pretty cute/silly due to my cartoon style)

Still keeping things cute.
