Kirsten Jacobson, LCSW is Agented! 🎉

Clyde is a cactus who believes he’s too pokey for friends until very special desert friends show him there’s room for even the prickliest to belong. A heartwarming tale of desert magic, quiet courage, and finding your place. 🌵🏜️ #PB #joypit #agented

Leg 1 of our 2 day drive down to Az is done! We always love stopping in Kanab and truth be told, I hope to someday own a place down here to retire. I love the red rocks and small town 🏜️

I’m just a girl sitting here wishing for a publisher to respond to our sub and say they want to acquire my book…. 🤞🤞✨✨✨

My son keeps walking up to people and saying “Tickle my pit!” 🤣

I fell into a midday coma nap and woke up with an exciting new idea for a story series rolling around my brain. I hurried and took notes before I lost it. It’s a big idea, but I can’t wait to share it with @AmyNielsen06!! She will either talk me down or love it 🤣🤣🤣

It’s always time to dream! #kidlit #editor #author #WritingCommunity

My meditation just asked the question: “How does future you want to feel?” Isn’t that a fantastic question?? Such a grounded way to allow intuition to guide our choices and paths. Love it!

Any other authors on TikTok?? I want to connect! I love #booktok! tiktok.com/@kirstenjacobs…

Fellow bibliophiles, #kidlit writers, and bookish types! What would you recommend for a kid who LOVES Louis Sachar's Wayside School books?

Did anyone get any good prime day deals??

Most of the desert thinks Clyde is a real prick! But Wren, Coyote and jackrabbit take a chance and find out…. Yep he definitely is prickly! #UnhingedPit #pb #stem

What’s the last 5 ⭐️books you read? I need some new recommendations!

I’m open to query packages, query letters, synopses, first chapter critiques, and first three chapter critiques. I have six spaces left for this month so make sure to sign up! authorjeannettelane.com/plans-pricing

Apparently I’m not the only one struggling with the HOA in our neighborhood…

Phew! That was a quick trip but I’m so glad we went! On the road back home today to try and beat some odds the holiday traffic, and we definitely have had enough of the heat 🥵🔥

I missed the desert so much. We drove through rain the whole way. I love desert rain. It’s like the smell of wood with hints of mesquite and fresh earth. I had to snap one quick pic while we were on a quick side of the road potty breaks. Love driving in the desert 🌵

We made it to Gilbert and had a fun surprise with the family. My dad was especially happy to see us all. It was lovely and all the grandmas and grandpas at the care center had fun getting to know the kids too 🥰

Check this out! I love working with Amy! 💜

Inspired by @author_teseager for her positivity pass, I'll pick one author to give a positivity pass on their first 5 pages if they comment below before Friday, July 4th at noon EST. Thank you, Taylor, for spreading kindness in publishing! #writingcommunity #amquerying

Here’s our cute cabins we are staying in. My kids are in heaven staying in a cabin!

But also- it’s a 10.5 hr drive with 2 kids. Any fun tips that have worked to keep kids entertained and not fighting??
