Kelsey Mango ✨IS QUERYING PB✨

Writers, agents, editors... to paginate a picture book manuscript for a query submission, or not to paginate? That's the question. 🤔 what's your preference? I've seen so many different opinions- I need to know! #WriterCommunity #amquerying #WritingLife #scbwi #kidlit

I wish I had an ounce of talent illustrating because the amount of agents seeking author-illustrators only is having me practicing my stick figures 🤣 #WritingCommunity #scbwi #amquerying #authors #illustration #amwriting #picturebooks #kidlit

I was told today is National Mango Day! Who knew!? What an incredible holiday! How are you celebrating? 😂 Maybe some Rita's Mango Water Ice!! #NationalMangoDay #celebrate #Mango #WritingCommunity

Just had to kill off a darling. And this character was the whole enchilada. The whole spark of inspiration for the book in the first place. But he had to go. ...I do have to say the book is much stronger without him. Sayonara. #WritingCommunity #amquerying

The most relaxing spot to write ✍🏻 Working on a few manuscripts, and polishing up my query. #ocnj #WritingCommunity #scbwi #kidlit #amquerying #amwriting

This is amazing! Congratulations!! Can't wait to get this book, the kids are going to love it! Annnnd I can't wait to have this feeling one day. Maybe. Hopefully. No, I will.

Oh, hey authors! 👋 Spam me with your websites!! I need some inspiration, because making one is on my to-do list! And, any advice on what I should put on my website as someone who has no books out? #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amwriting #scbwi #picturebooks

I'm realizing I am way too indecisive of a person for this logo design thing. Someone just pick one because now I've looked at them too long and don't like any of them! 😂

You all have spoken! The Mango logo has won by a landslide. I can't believe how many of you commented. Mind blown!! One more thing (because obviously I can't make a decision on my own)... 2 colors, or 3?! #writerscommunity #amquerying #LogoDesign #amwriting

Am I published? ...No. Am I agented? Nooope. Am I still making an author logo? You bet. Deliriously so. Help me pick one!! Or maybe none are good? Be honest! #writerscommunity #amquerying #LogoDesign

#NewProfilePic from a few days ago in the Bahamas. Life was slower, the sun was warm, and the dirty bananas were chefs kiss 🍹. I think I have the post vacation blues. 😆

I so wish! 3 uninterrupted hours to read?! What a dream.

This. All of this. It applies to those in the trenches. #amquerying #WriterCommunity Trying hard to trust the process and think that something fantastic is right around the corner.
