Pleased to finally share my querying stats. I am not a unicorn (though wouldn’t that be cool?) 🚫🦄 2nd book queried Months in trenches: 15 Sent: 127 Rejections: 70 Requests: 7 Agent offers: 0 Small press offers: 2 Origami creations: 85

Three origami canvases covered in origami: mostly pink & purple flowers, also 4 butterflies, a rat and a hummingbird

I made a piece of origami for each response in my querying journey: a flower for each pass, a butterfly for each full request. As you can see, it’s mostly flowers, but today I added its final piece: a yellow hummingbird.

Hi, I’m B, I write queer YA and fun MG, short stories and the occasional poem. I’m MagicalHippo at the bad place but I’m thinking about moving here instead. Please say hi! 👋👇

This is the real me - I’m MagicalHippo on the other place. Some villain already took that handle here though. It’s not me. Idk if I’ll move here. I’m still at the other place for lots of origami and lamenting my terrible writing journey.
