- Author/Illustrator! Yay 👻I am looking for an agent and actively querying. Open for illustration work. I like wholesome chaos, dogs, and sweet potato chips. 🤷♀️ Three picture books under my belt (pulled from the slush pile) www.kristaweltner.com #kidlitartpostcard #kidlitart
- I'm 50+ queries deep in the query trenches how about you? Nothing yet, but lots of great feedback and several agents passing me to their friends. #kidlit #query #publishing
- I'm reviving/reposting some snow related content since most of us are snowed in. This is from a comic series I created awhile back and I'm not totally sure what to do with it. I made 50 in all, Maybe a gift book? #comic #snow #kidlitart

- I'm agentless! 🙉 trad pubbed author/Illustrator 3 PBs, Free Spirit Publishing✅️ Querying a search-and-find and a #PB right now 📨 🤸♀️ I like laugh-out-loud silly stories with heartwarming endings, comics, dogs, graphic novels, and emojis 📚 www.kristaweltner.com #kidlitpostcard #kidlit #kidlitart
- I think the hardest thing about trying to get books published is having to pause mid-process to query them. It's so hard to resist the urge to finish the illustrations for my current WIP. I had momentum, man! 🤓 #kidlit #kidlitart
- Waiting for batches of queries to come back is the weirdest time. I usually take the time to brush up on my drawing/illustration skills which is a dangerous game because sometimes I evolve and then feel the urge to throw out my whole portfolio. 🙃 Anyway here is grass practice. #kidlitart #kidlit
- He's got main character energy. Maybe I need ti write him a spin off ha #kidlitart
- Yesterday I got a bunch of amazing letters from a middle school. I LOVE that my picturebooks about #dyslexia resonates with older kids too. This one was my favorite. ❤️ #kidlit
- This is the best part of being a published author ❤️ unexpected fan mail from some brilliant students. A mix of thank you notes with color pages from my series (Free downloads on my website) #kidlit #kidlitart
- It's getting hot here in Orlando. My unsolicited advice to folks visiting the theme parks is to walk around with ice on your head. (They will give you free water/ice at the food stalls) #kidlitart
