A book titled RIALTO. The cover is illustrated with a winged leopard in front of a fantastical scene including magical creatures, a ferris wheel, and a bridge. The book cover has a gold seal on it that reads JLG Gold Standard.
I am honored and delighted to report that I've just learned RIALTO is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection! I am so excited to finally, finally be able to share this book with you in April!
You definitely pulled me in with the cats. ❤️
Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Ha. I've got one for MG mixed with horror/fantasy.
#3 that you listed. A modern-day twist version. I'm querying it right now, so that's why I wasn't sure if I should pick a different novel or not.
It think carrd do a simple, one page, completely free option. If I'm not mistaken I think that's what @mdashow.bsky.social uses for his kidlit portfolio and it looks great:

😂 Phewwww!!! That's awesome. ❤️
😂 I've got a character in a novel that could be blamed. 🌧️
That's incredible. I hope some of the 20 come back later! 📚
I always joke that I’ll have a zillion books ready/revised by the time I get a “yes.” 😄 I got very close to an agent offer in 2024, and then 2025 was all about the revise/resubmits.
I can't wait to read this! The cover is awesome. ❤️
Cover reveal day for my gothic middle grade novel!
Can't wait for you all to meet Tilly and venture into the DARK WOOD.
😲 Wow. Well, that gives me hope! You did it!! 🥳
Can't wait to read it! ❤️I'm basically a real-life Dari.
I temporarily shelved my 👻 MG novel in 2024 because I wanted to understand myself before revising. I might return to it soon. Mine also has a Coraline vibe. 📚
👻❤️
A copy of The Unfinished Business, showing a night-time cityscape with glowing windows. A girl stares out of one window at three ghosts floating overhead. Next to a copy of the book is a wind-up ghost.
We have ghosts!! The Unfinished Business is now in shops, libraries, or wherever else you get your books today!
Happy reading, friends!

I made up my own words as a kid, so I could say it without them knowing.
"QQ down" meant shut up. It's not very creative. 😆
I like "seashells" more. 🐚
Yeah, that's only like a 8 page difference. I hope they reach out/realize they made a mistake.
I can take a no, that's no issue. But when did acceptable ranges go UP for MG?
If anything, they went down some, right? This agent declined me based on length. The literary agent I did the R&R for told me to add 10K & I did
I know everything is subjective, didn't think word counts was
#AmQuerying
Yeah, that's a wild reason. No one is querying a 95k middle grade. 😱 I'm actually really sad to hear this because you deserve more than that. ❤️
It's also not really a crowded market right now.
Uh, what the? 55k is perfect for MG. I'm at 62k, which is considered higher, but still okay. You can go as low as 40k for upper middle grade.
🎬📚 Writing can feel like acting. 📚🎬
Your best lines often come from actual emotion.

I saw a wave of positivity on Threads too. 🌊

I love this SO much. 🐭❤️
I think that's also what it is. It's not always easy to find them online unless it's posted everywhere and a lot. I always joke about going on a talk show someday if I have to. 😆
You've worked on some fantastic ones (on your site). ❤️📚
