Happy Holidays, Cynsational readers!
Breaking news! Applications are now open for the We Need Diverse Books Native Children’s-YA Writing Intensive which will take place from Thursday, June 12 to Sunday, June 15 at the Texican Court Hotel in Irving, Texas.
Cynsations is also on winter hiatus. We’ll return after the ALA Midwinter Conference with more inspiration, insights, and information on children’s-YA writing, illustration, literature, and publishing.
In the meantime, you’re welcome keep up on those topics with me at Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Threads and Bluesky.
But first, let’s raise a cup of cocoa to Cynsations Editor-in-Chief Gayleen Rabakukk, Industry News Reporter Gail Vannelli, and Cynterns Suma Subramaniam, AJ Eversole, and Mitu Malhotra.
I’m oh-so grateful for their excellent efforts throughout the year. They worked hard to keep you updated on industry news, to feature exciting voices and new releases, and to highlight educational, financial, and craft-development opportunities.
To our wonderful readers, we send our thanks! Mvto!
