#litagents, I'm happy to present my #agentsguide #agentguide for my #amquerying adult speculative novel, THE WORLD OF NO, complete at 97k words. It features: 🟢 coming of age (even for adults) ⚫️ second chance love 🟢 twisted realities ⚫️ Life is messy; jump the hell in already.

I am happy to share an #agentsguide for my YA Fantasy, THE SELKIE'S DAUGHTER. #amquerying #agentguide #yafantasy

Take a look at my updated #agentguide / #agentsguide for the YA fantasy manuscript I #amquerying

It's rough putting yourself out there (hello fellow #amquerying authors) but it's so damn nice to have friends read your work, give you valuable feedback, & understand your art. Love this rad agent guide @ambucsaru.bsky.social put together 🩵🩵

Pausing on writing to create art I can wear. My procrastination is on full display but I can probably cobble together something presentable in a day 🤞

With this novel, I've decided I won't obsess. It's good. I like it. It's edited and workshopped and beta read. I'm not going to constantly stress about the minute details. So I sent queries to all my fav agents. And as I wait, I peek at the first page...the first sentence...the first word...

I am ready to scream from the rooftops about Ana's amazing novel -- it's dark and riveting with so many twists that are both thrilling and heart-wrenching. Such a unique fantasy & I absolutely love it 🖤🖤🖤

Most of my CPs don't have bluesky (yet?), but a BIG shoutout to @renaerhoads.bsky.social and @literallypaul.bsky.social for the amazing feedback and to the rest of Unhiged (who I met in AMM 2021)! I would not be here without my writing group! (Stressing the importance of community)

This is not what the people want -- this is a travesty. The statehouse was packed, Democratic representatives gave impassioned speeches and pleas from constituents, local businesses stood up for transgender civil rights, and yet, here we are. It's a dark day for Iowa.

Breaking News: Iowa lawmakers passed a bill that would eliminate state civil rights protections for transgender people.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

I have revised this manuscript countless times and have just come across... a rye smile...

Dropping this here before I continue to doomscroll: I wrote another book! I'll be scouring the MSWL posts later this week--but if any #litagents are looking--here is my #agentguide #amquerying #YA #WritingCommunity

Me to my teen: Listen to this song I'm using for my runway piece My teen: Oh cool. It's from Rick & Morty Me: No... it's Blonde Redhead Teen: Rick & Morty Me: 😶

For anyone who needs a reminder, billionaires don't become billionaires magically--they get wealthy off of all of us. It's hard right now, it's overwhelming by design. But here's the thing, they're the minority. Start the easiest form of resistence today--do not give them more of your money.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

Not sure how many agents have found this little oasis in the current hellscape, but I threw out a couple pitches for #2025pit today ✨️ Cheers to all the amazing pitches! I'm leaning back into writing--preferring on page demons to the ones in the news. Anyone else here querying YA or horror?

WHALEFALL x HOUSE OF HOLLOW Imogen’s youth died the day her mom did, but she can’t cut and run from her small town until she figures out what mystery affliction is killing her peers—especially when her own blood mutates to a freakish shade of blue. #2025Pit #YA #SPF #H

New Dacus music reminds me I wrote a whole ass novel based on the feeling of limerence & a Phoebe Bridgers song 🖤

Favorite writing podcast? Looking to branch out beyond TSNOTYAW (craving more!) Had to quit one I intermittently listened to bc they crossed the "some AI is ok" line 🙄. I have some fabulous bookish ones already, leaning more towards craft. #writingcommunity

It appears we've reached the kids sliding down the stairs on a mattress portion of winter break

As I emerge from the longest nights and the creative stasis that is December, I want to highlight my little Saturnalia story published this year -- it's revenge served on a silver platter 🖤🖤 Looking forward to dedicating more time to short form this year. #amwriting #horror #writingcommunity

👀👀👀

I absolutely adore the cover for this novel by @noreennanja.bsky.social 🩵🩵🩵 Perfect summer read for 2025

Sometimes your libby holds come in at just the right time- this one is fun & gritty at the same time, full of women helping women, & has a killer ending. And also, like the raddest grandma?? Highly recommend for current times #booksky

Introductions? I'm searching for all my writing friends! 🖤🖤 My current WIP is a speculative YA horror in the vein of House of Hollow x Jennifer’s Body
