I’m open for queries until the 15th and my #MSWL has changed.
I also included some recent reads that I’ve enjoyed this summer so you can get a feel for my reading tastes (I do not represent these titles).
note— I am NOT open to manuscripts written using AI.

I will NOT be opening to queries June 1-15th so I can focus on client work, and prioritize reading the fabulous manuscripts in my request box.
The amazing @_ashleedani will be open and I’ll be reading some of the amazing projects in her query inbox as well. 🤩

I sent additional subs out for two authors today. Sent two new PBs on sub, and finished reading my favorite dinosaur fantasy manuscript. I cannot wait to slide this 🦕 to editors mid June.
I also got to announce a book deal for an author and my agent heart is so very full.

I just signed a vague thing that I cant talk about for 500 years but @weaverliterary has been waiting to arrive so I guess I can wait a little longer…it won’t kill me. I’ll just be sitting on my throne of vague. There are so many hints in this but no one will know. Secrets

Normalize female reproductive health in fiction. Menstruation. Infertility. Endometriosis. Menopause. Abortion. Chronic Illness. PCOS, Contraceptive. Pain (the list could continue). It shouldn’t be such unspoken thing. Reproductive reality should not be unrepresented.

If you see me at the virtual writers day panels or in pitches today—I look like pop eye because my daughter gave me pink eye. I promise I don’t have crazy eyes. Just flagging that ahead of time 🥴
