Is finding out what happened more important than finally belonging? #GetToKnowHiLo #transgender #ownvoices #lgbtbooks #juniorlibraryguild gold standard #ftm #testosterone #topsurgery (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8U-BEcBeTV/?igshid=1ifner5jy6ggt
When you write a book you’re never sure what is going to become of it. * When I started drafting my debut, Nothing But Sky I had no clue that it would take a half dozen major revisions, a lot of tears, and some dark times before it would be published. * I had so many people tell me to give up on NBS. They told me the market didn’t want YA Historical. They said they could only take one title a year and their list was full. They insisted readers weren’t interested in the story I wanted to tell. * Fortunately for me, I’m very hard-headed. I pushed ahead in spite of the naysayers. * That is why I am so grateful for this recognition from @jrlibraryguild for Nothing But Sky. It proves that THERE ARE readers who need my type of story. THERE ARE people in the industry who feel there is a place for YA Historical. For me, it’s a continuous reminder that if you believe in a story you need to put your head down and push on no matter how many negative responses you get. * #yareads #juniorlibraryguild #yalit #yareaders #yahistorical #yafiction #yabooks #yalove #IwriteYA #IreadYA #ireadyabooks #ireadyalit #bookcommunity #writingcommunity #bookishpost #bookishpic #booknerd #bookgeek #bookworm #igauthor #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B73oNi0A8HI/?igshid=y8uugu0rxpwx
