In much more fantastic news, Kidlit has been picked as one of the Writer’s Digest 101 Best Websites for Writers. I’m one of 5 agent blogs chosen for this honor! My readers are a huge part of this success, and I want to thank you all so much!

Here’s a link to the announcement on Chuck Sambuchino’s blog. You can also see it on newsstands in the May/June issue of Writer’s Digest.
