Title: Ppl to follow on Twitter/Instagram
Post by: charliecarr on June 12, 2020, 07:16 AM
Hi all! I've been setting up some new Insta/Twitter accounts this week to document my writing journey and also find MG-related inspiration (my personal Insta has been travel-themed for years now and I don't want to mess with it).

I'm looking for inspirational MG writers, reviewers or commentators that are fun to follow and  wondering if any of you MG folks have recommendations. Who's filling up your feed and getting your 'likes' these days?

Looking for people who are entertaining and insightful rather than general agents or publishing houses

I love agents Jenn Laughran who tweets as @Literaticat ( I think) and Chelsea Eberley @chelseberly. I am completely blanking on MG authors in my feed, which is ridiculous. There must be many, including lots of Blueboarders. Oh, and many of your current favorite authors have feeds, like Kate Messner, so look for them.

I write PB through YA and poetry and nonfiction readers. I'm at @dvilardi1 if you decide you want to check me out.
