So, I’ve been working on something in my writer/editorial, non-agenty life, and I can’t wait to be able to share what it is—and the truly phenomenal group of authors involved. There’s no way you’d ever get me to drop a hint, though, so don’t even ask.
Great to see Omniboz out in the world, especially with these wonderful original Oz books! Thank you so much!

I love reading my clients’ manuscripts for the first time and being absolutely blown away by them. I will never get tired of it.
So many people have been asking me lately for the link to @starsandsabers.bsky.social's Omniboz: Tales from the Land of Oz, which makes me think it might be time for another post with the buy link!

Agents usually don’t speak publicly about the rejections our clients’ projects receive on sub, but it’s so frustrating to receive feedback on authors writing marginalized characters’ based on lived experiences as POC, and hearing those experiences called implausible. Implausible to whom?

Welp, the scammers are pretending to be me now, too. 😔 Two people just reached out to ask whether an email using my name and logo from an official sounding Gmail address was actually me. Friends, I will only ever use my official Fuse Literary email, so please be careful!
