...and it's a ⭐️'d Kirkus review for my talented client Matthew Aquilone's debut! 🎉 Coming November 10th from Delphinium Books.

A bit late posting, but these are the books I read in May-June. Aren't they lovely?

A little late posting, but I got some reading done this spring (between reading queries). This is a strong and varied list of books right here! Something for everyone!

Congratulations to @carrieclasson.bsky.social & Lake Union Publishing! Excited to see another of Carrie's charming novels out in the world. And if you haven't read her debut, LOON POINT, yet, check it out! #olswangerliterary #lakeunionpublishing #agentjoy #adultfiction

Thinking of querying me? Please note: I will be closed to submissions during my April 1st-5th submission window to catch up on reading queries and requested materials. I look forward to reopening on May 1st-5th.

Looking forward to hearing pitches and networking with writers in person on March 28th at the 2026 Boston Writing Day Workshop. Still time to sign up! @writingdaywksp.bsky.social thebostonwritingworkshop.wordpress.com

LOON POINT, my amazing client @carrieclasson.bsky.social's debut, has been out for 3 weeks, and the response has been wonderful! One reader called it "the book I didn't know I needed!" Another said reading it felt like a hug. Need a book hug? Pick up or order a copy from your fave bookstore!

A terrific write-up about my fabulous client, @carrieclasson.bsky.social, and her debut novel, LOON POINT, which hits shelves January 27th! If you like contemporary, heartwarming stories, this one might be your cup of tea! www.stpaulpublishing.com/classon-rele...
