Serendipity Literary Agency is proud to have 14 titles included in the Obama Presidential Library! #SerendipityLit #BookSky #ObamaPresidentialLibrary #ObamaPresidentialCenter

I’m so excited to read this book! I absolutely love anything about pirates & I have been dying to represent a book about a badass female pirate. If anyone has manuscripts in this vein, please send them to me. Adult or YA. Based on real figures is a huge plus!

Writers & literary agents: SCAMMERS are impersonating agents to deceive & defraud writers and steal intellectual property. I put together a LinkedIn post explaining how to report these scams. Please share to help protect the writing community #writingcommunity #writers lnkd.in/p/eX6d4Dbr

AUTHOR SCAM ALERT: Someone is STILL impersonating me and contacting authors pretending to be me. Please be careful & share with other writers! Any email claiming to be from me that comes from a Gmail account is NOT legitimate. The account has been reported to authorities.

I’m thrilled to be participating in Industry Engagement Day presented by @thewritingbarn.bsky.social on July 18th. I’ll be on the Picture Book Palooza II panel & I’m providing written manuscript critiques. Best of luck to everyone!

This is the first & only screenwriting competition that I’ve entered & I advanced to the quarterfinals. Very exciting! I’m thrilled. @filmfreeway.bsky.social

I’m still actively looking for MG, YA or adult fiction with a female baddie main character. Think female pirate, shield maiden, valkyrie, warrior queen, mythological goddess, bandit or outlaw. #WritingCommunity

With a heavy heart, I share that my sweetest, cutest, fluffiest client has crossed the rainbow bridge. Suzy's legacy will live well beyond her mortal years. She touched so many hearts & inspired countless adoptions. Rest in peace, sweet girl. 😢https://www.sourcebooks.com/a-stray-dog-for-christmas

Writers Beware, THIS IS NOT ME! Someone is impersonating me. Do not send them your manuscripts or any money if they ask. #WritingCommunity #WritersBeware

Someone is impersonating me using a fake email Kelly.serendipityliteraryagency@gmail.com to request manuscripts. THIS IS NOT ME! I do NOT use Gmail for submissions. Don't send them your manuscript. Please share to protect other writers. DM me if this person has contacted you. I'm taking legal action

It was a pleasure to join the AALA panel “The Landscape and Legalities of Work-for-Hire.” We covered everything from ghostwriting & developmental editing to IP, contracts & industry standards. As an agent, ghostwriter & member of the AALA Copyright Committee, I was glad to help guide the convo!

Looking for fiction audiobook recommendations that are light, fun & uplifting. I’ve been reading heavier nonfiction (just finished Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Giuffre, The Book of Murder by Matt Murphy, & Chasing Evil by Robert Hilliard) & would love something more escapist. No romance. Suggestions?

Happy International Women’s Day!

There’s nothing worse than a bad audiobook narrator for a book you were excited about. Sometimes I just can’t power through—I have to turn it off and buy the print copy. A bad narrator can ruin a great book.

It is difficult readjusting to work life after the holidays. Anyone else feel like their brain is made of mud today? Anyone? Bueller? Just me?

Coffee, blue skies, and palm trees. A perfect Saturday. 🌴☕️

This is your regular reminder to back up your written work. It's easy to forget that you could be one computer glitch away from losing months of work. Don't regret it later, head it off at the pass and back it up ASAP!

I just discovered that there is a station on Pandora for reading. It’s quite lovely! I’m loving it.

Fight for freedom of speech. Fight for the First Amendment. Fight against government censorship & administration overreach. They came for our books, then the late night shows, next is the news. It won’t stop until we will have no words left & no voice to be heard. Speak up!

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel for the right to free speech, unopposed by force or political retaliation. Shame on ABC. They need to stand up against this kind of fascism & censorship. Thank you The Writers Guild for speaking up. @wgawest.bsky.social @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @abcnetwork.bsky.social
