Talk about bucking trends. In Georgia, a 25-year-old recent communications graduate bought his home-town newspaper rather than watching the 180-year-old institution fold. Love! www.themonticellonews.com/2026/07/15/m...

This book was passed from my niece to my daughter to me — we all loved it! Also, what an absolute a^^hole. The fact that #Strangers is a bestseller is exquisite justice. Who else is reading the #BelleBurden memoir — what do you think? #AmReading #AmWriting #Bookstagram #Booktok

Took a road trip to the redwoods, learned a bit about range anxiety, totally loved cruising by $7 gas. Hello, summer!

*New and improved!* THE BOOK OF HOURS is a 2026 #RevPit winner that asks the question: How far would you travel for love? If you’re an agent looking for a 68,000-word, dual-timeline upmarket debut with romantic and speculative elements, I’d love to send over some pages! #AmQuerying #Fiction

Grateful to @herstryblg for publishing “The Silver Strand” in their Motherhood issue (link in bio and on my Substack). I’d love to hear what you think, and how your connections show up, too. #amwriting June 23, 2026 at 05:23PM

Continuing my deep dive into the #LilyKing backlist, this one rattled me to say the least. Talk about torturing your characters! This is a magnificently slow train wreck that delivers in the best possible way. Who else has read #FatheroftheRain and thoughts? #AmReading #Fiction

…into her 22-year-old body in 1999 Paris, she tries to fix her family and marriage – but a romantic misstep threatens her daughter’s existence and forces her to race back through time to save the man she loves. Does my first page deliver? (Part Six) #AmWriting #AmQuerying #RevPit

(Part Five) Which brings me to THE BOOK OF HOURS, the dual-timeline upmarket debut with romantic and speculative elements that I’m #AmQuerying now. When a 42-year-old woman accidentally time-travels from 2019 Los Angeles… #AmWriting #AmReading #RevPit

(Part Four) To see the place where the #timetravel genre was before #OctaviaButler transformed it, just read H.G. Wells — or my thesis. Talk about curiosity seeds! “I lost an arm on my last trip home.” Who wouldn’t turn the page to find out more about that? #AmWriting #AmReading #AmQuerying #RevPit

(Part Three) OH, how I love KINDRED by #OctaviaButler. This is the book that I believe singlehandedly shifted the #timetravel genre from one that reflects a chauvinist and colonialist past to one that foretells a feminist and egalitarian future. #AmWriting #AmReading #AmQuerying #RevPit

#RebeccaSerle employs speculative elements like time travel to explore relationships and ONE ITALIAN SUMMER is a perfect example. The MC knew her recently-deceased mother as a woman with rules — so it’s perfect when she shows up to break them. (Part Two) #AmWriting #AmReading #Bookstagram #RevPit

As part of the recent @reviseresub.bsky.social revision process with @hannaneier.bsky.social, I looped back on iconic time-travel novel first pages, beginning with @emmastraub.bsky.social whose THIS TIME TOMORROW is pure genius. (Part 1) #AmWriting #AmReading #AmQuerying #Bookstagram #RevPit

Got pumped for the @reviseresub.bsky.social #RevPit showcase on Monday and spent ten hours on Canva making content. Trailer (for my book that is not yet agented or published) coming soon! #AmWriting #AmQuerying #AmDesigning, apparently. Thanks as always, @hannaneier.bsky.social!

The experience of becoming a @reviseresub.bsky.social winner and working on THE BOOK OF HOURS with @hannaneier.bsky.social has been transformative. Now, I’m applying these learnings to two other manuscripts + my WIP. Game, changed. Thx, #RevPit! #AmWriting #AmQuerying #Bookstagram #GoodNewsletter
