A NOTE TO OUR LISTENERS: Christy Yaros, co-founder of the Coaching KidLit podcast, has stepped away to focus her time and energy on other exciting opportunities. I'm deeply grateful for the insight, heart, and dedication she brought to building this podcast and supporting the KidLit community. As we move forward, I'll be continuing the podcast solo—welcoming a range of guests to share their expertise and inspiration for writers creating stories for kids and teens. I'm excited to carry on the mission we started together and to keep supporting you on your KidLit journey. —Sharon Skinner Sharon Skinner is a book coach, editor, and author who helps writers craft stories that connect deeply with readers. With a passion for both story structure and heart, she brings decades of experience to coaching writers across genres and age categories, from picture books to adult. As the host of the Coaching KidLit podcast, Sharon continues its mission to inform, inspire, and support KidLit creators at every stage of the journey. At Coaching KidLit, we're committed to inclusion. We believe stories are richer and more resonant when they reflect a wide range of lived experiences. That includes voices from the LGBTQIA community, Native and Indigenous peoples, people of color, people with disabilities, neurodivergent creators, and those from diverse cultural, religious, and gender backgrounds. We also understand disability through a broad lens, and we align with the social model of disability, which focuses on removing barriers—not 'fixing' individuals. Bottom line? Everyone deserves to be seen and heard. And we're here to support stories that make that happen. more
