My partner and I celebrated fourteen years today. It is the most wonderful experience to go through life with your best friend. 💜 (And we had fun and took our very first pottery class together, safe to say we both loved it and will be taking more classes)

Just to let everyone know as early as possible, I am not going to open to queries in August! I have so many to look at and so many submissions and client works to read, I need some time to catch up. I will still be open for July and will reopen like usual for September!

As a quick update to this: I am down to 10 queries from April and another 10 from May, I am hoping to get through these in the next two weeks! All other queries in my box are from my most recent opening and are going to take me longer to get to (there's a couple hundred in there lol). ☺️

For transparency, here is where my box currently stands. I have tons to read sub wise AND yes those 91 queries are all in my maybe pile for another read through 🫣. I am trying my absolute hardest to read these, but I've got client works to edit too 😊. I sincerely appreciate everyone's patience!

‪It's just me. An agent who keeps falling in love with weird little books 💜 They make me cry and laugh, hurt my heart and bring me joy. Please keep sending me these weird little stories 💜

Happy #WorldBookDay! To celebrate, I realized I had three cats and three books -- wouldn't it be funny to pair them up? Well, it works a little *too* well. First off, The Perfect Assassin paired with our Not a Single Thought in Her Orange Head, Maurice:

An orange cat curled up on a cat tree, with a paperback copy of the Perfect Assassin just sorta flopped on her tummy. She is sniffing it and only slightly unsure.

Very excited and honored to announce my newest author @kadoore.com!! I am in love with their weird fantasy horror that made me feel like I was trapped in a terrifying dungeon trying to creep my way out! I cannot wait to work with Kai on this project and many more!!

I am incredibly excited to be working with them on their fantasy horror, that is very D&D mixed with Half Life (yes for real)! I loved getting to read this book start to finish and felt like I was going through a dungeon crawl with new horrors around every corner and I wasn’t as sneaky a rogue as I wanted to be. I am so incredibly honored to be working on this book with Kai and so many future projects! Welcome to the crew Kai!

idk guys when i see a lot of similar headlines insisting that editors & authors are all already embracing AI, i don't assume these things are true. i assume there are a lot of very rich people with an unpopular product pushing a particular narrative in my industry!

Writers must accept artificial intelligence – but we are as valuable as ever | Stephen Marchethe walrus bsky account: Authors are using AI. Publishers know it. And now, says publishing consultant Thad McIlroy, authors are being forced to lie about it. One cancelled horror novel didn’t just end a career—it exposed an industry-wide reckoning.
