Since October 2022, I pitched a story I believed in and three editors passed on it. I knew in my heart that people like me, who were fans of The Baby-Sitters Club, wanted to read it. I tweeted about it (see below). The tweet went viral. My inbox flooded with messages from editors. I ended up selling three different stories to three different outlets.

I’m super proud to share that I published:

• An interview with Hodges Soileau in the Washington Post (both print and online)
• An interview with two cover models for Artnet
• A personal essay about the 7 Baby-Sitters Club that are special to me

I hope this story serves as a reminder that trusting yourself is the best way to write your story.
