10y/o Iris isn't like other girls... instead of having a phone on her at all times, she has her inhaler ( and her tablet since her dad won't let her get a phone yet) 🫁

Myth Busters about Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis! - Young Patients' AREA There can be many misconceptions about chronic illnesses. Chaylee, a Young Patients’ AREA Council member with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, has broken down the myths surrounding her illnesses. Wh...

A movie poster for #PosterPit. A girl with an inhaler is pictured in the middle. The text states, "A novel by Chaylee McCleese, Just Breathe. 26k words for reluctant readers. Best friends, first crushes, P.E, selling chocolate for a school trip, trampoline slumber parties, and more. A middle grade story that will take your breath away."

5th grade is embarrassing enough. But being known as the girl with asthma makes it's 100x worse. Can Iris beat her reputation and become something more than the girl who can't breathe before she enters middle school?

Found this photo of me at my first fishing derby 🎣 and now I'm drafting a chapter book about a silly boy trying his best to win a $300 prize pool for catching the biggest fish. (Now that I've been querying for almost a year, it's been hard to write, but inspiration has struck!)

for reluctant readers, 26K WORDS

Falling in love with your childhood best friend.
Meeting your favorite rock & roll band.

The Summer of 1975 couldn't get crazier right?

Wrong.🍑

Almost Famous X The Summer I Turned Pretty

Honest opinions only. Is it cringey to make a banner of all the poems I wrote about my fiancé in high-school for our wedding? Some are god awful, but that makes it sweet... right?

Hi! Are you a hybrid publisher or traditional? I have a YA Historical Fiction I am querying, but am looking for a traditional contract thanks!

Got my first ever publishing offer... The catch? It can be edited and published for a small price of $10k.

Oh, how I hate hybrid/vanity presses claiming to be trad.

Why do they have to prey on desperate authors who want to tell the stories from their hearts?

Happy Valentines Day! 🍑❤️

Doing a development edit with @amandaeditsbooks.com has been eye-opening. She's so sweet and fun to work with! I can't wait to dive into editing the small things that are going to improve my book by 1000% 💞✍️

So cool!

Thank you🥰

Thank you!!!

I entered #SmallPitch on a whim this week. I never do well at pitch contests. I haven't received any likes in the past, so I didn't expect anything, and yet I woke up to a request!!! I'M SO EXCITED.

I feel that. Had psoriasis on my scalp since I was 11, but my senior year of high school developed arthritis.
