Shannon “STRONGER AT THE SEAMS" Stocker retweeted
I strongly condemn the senseless attack on Charlie Kirk today. Political violence has no place in the United States of America. It further tears our country apart and sets us back versus moving us forward. Violence is always wrong. Period.
Friends who embrace diversity, equality, inclusion, & freedom of speech: this writer bird has taken to bluer skies. Find me there (at) shannonstocker. Come say hello! 👋

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

Brett Baier asks President Zelenskyy on Fox News if he’ll step down after Lindsey Graham said he should:
“With all respect to Lindsey…only Ukrainians vote for their president.”

Great 🧵
Ever notice how often your characters shrug, nod their heads, or look at things? These generic gestures don’t bring them to life. Let’s dig into how to write gestures and beats that are fresh, meaningful, and layered with character.

Prayer request (or however you send love and peace) for this amazing family, who just lost Caroline, their 11yo brain cancer warrior. She’s the little one in this pic—the big one is my own brain cancer warrior. 💔

Writing @DameEvelyn's story will always be one of the greatest honors of my career. She is talented, brilliant, and kind beyond measure. Her reading of LISTEN will give you chills (link in her post, below) - check it out! 🥁

I’ve been utterly enchanted by the beautiful illustrations by Devon Holzworth, and by Shannon Stocker’s wonderful writing, for the children’s book ‘Listen: How Evelyn Glennie, A Deaf Girl, Changed Percussion’ since it was released. Full version here: youtu.be/vNVMZLx-jX8
Hello, #WritingCommunity - I write #PB, #YA, and have joined the friendlier #Bluesky community. Not leaving here quite yet, but I'm definitely finding more joy over there. If you're an #author, #illustrator, #librarian, #teacher, #editor, or other bookish soul, find me!
Proud mama moment: My sophomore got a nearly perfect score on her PSAT. Anyone know anything about #ispeed at @JohnsHopkins? She wants to do the summer program there in biomedical engineering. She’s a brain cancer survivor who wants to be an oncologist. 🎗️
Thank you @PublishersWkly for this very cool shoutout of the audiobook for STRONGER AT THE SEAMS.
@katerudd - you killed it on this narration! TY!!! 💛

Me (noticing one of my Chicken Soup books by my son’s stuff): Awww…were you reading my story.
14: Straight edge.
Me: Straight edge?
14: Yeah. Geometry homework. I needed a straight edge.
Me: 😑
After a horrible week in the hospital, I’m finally writing again…11,492 words. Woohoo! #NaNoWriMo #YA
I didn't know if I'd make it after this last difficult week in the hospital, but I'll be there at 9:00 today! Only signing for the morning, so please drop by early and come to hear our panel at 11:30. Looking forward!

I just had the most wonderful chat about #StrongerAtTheSeams and self-advocacy with @jedliemagic for his podcast #ReadingWithYourKids. Please tune in when it goes live on November 1!

Hello #WritingCommunity! Popping in with a pearl for newbies: as a whole, authors are kind, compassionate people. Don't be afraid to reach out. When I was starting, @gailecn, @SherriDuskey, & Susan Eaddy all made time for me. Reach out! The worst you can get is silence.
Thanks for featuring my book!!!
