KidlitWriMo is coming


KidlitWriMo is back — with a twist! In 2025, the goal was to write 30 minutes a day for 30 days. What I discovered, however, was that most of the participants only wrote on the weekdays, not seven days a week. So in 2026, we’re changing the math to 100 minutes a week in September.

There are 5 weeks in September: 2 long weeks and 3 short ones. Can you write 100 minutes a week in September? Will you take the challenge? If so, join our private KidLitWriMo Facebook Group.

The KidlitWriMo 100 Challenge begins on September 1st! See more here.

New agent at MNLM

The header for a new QueryTracker page says: “Send a Query to Hollie Michaels at Martin-Newens Literary Management

And the intro on that page says: “I am open to picture book authors and author / illustrators, middle grade, young adult, graphic novels, new adult and select adult genres. I will respond to all queries.”

The Q&A on her personal website says: “Agenting has always been my dream job. It combines my background as an author, producer, educator, critique partner into one!”
