I have my cart now, so I can go to the library and check out books without having to worry about my arms cramping! I do want to still find my backpack, as that's a little more convenient, even if the cart folds up nicely.
I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.

Entire rewrite by someone else
You're gonna have to check the release dates. If the book isn't a century old it's extremely likely it's the rewritten version

Uh, I don't think that would help. They're all translations and cheapo paperbacks, so it only shows the release date of the local version. No idea which one they had as a source. But now that you mention it, I do think the sixties version from my stack is a lot more innocent and tame than the eighties one. I always thought that was an attempt to draw younger readers towards Nancy Drew as well.

I may be getting print dates wrong, but y'all are getting what I mean tho

And idk which version the translations use. Gonna assume if it's later, it used the rewrite

Answer my riddle to earn a prize!

You'll always feel it, but can never see it. It's strong but shatters easily. You can give it away but never hold it. What is it?

Pm me the answer, no cheating please!

I have this crazy dream of one day writing a series of inclusive fairy tales and then doing them all in calligraphy with illumination around the edges, then making a hand bound book out of it.

Let me know if you get it finished, because I would definitely buy that.

Just pick a place that has stuff you like and send it in, I assume. Most places have submission guidelines and will say if they take unsolicited stuff.

I have a picture book in mind but I'm not sure how to present it because they don't want pictures (they have their own illustrators) and the pictures are telling a lot of the story. So, do I describe things or just submit the written half?
