Hi there, 

It is Nakisa here. Thanks for reading my forth newsletter which is about my blog posts in the last three months. 

Happy Summer to you. 

I wrote a 6-part blog posts about Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in picture books: 

The final part of this series will be published next week.

Most children's authors write in many genres. Keeping track of projects in one place is an essential thing to do for us. I found a Gantt chart shared by a kidlit's illustrator. I modified it for my own writing projects and would love to share it with you. Here is the link. 

I created a Facebook group for chapter book writers. Any question about craft, pitching, and market news is welcome. Please join us here. 

I am going to add a new section to my blog posts, focusing on chapter books. This will include some CRAFT CHAT with chapter book authors. Please, stay tuned! 

Enjoy your summer, 

Nakisa
