DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

I am thrilled I get to share a story with the world - and the fact that it is inspired by my own family's holiday antics makes it even sweeter!

I have such gratitude for @litagentkatiem.bsky.social & @mmanlove.bsky.social!

Some FAQs that have come up in 2025 for the new #DVpit on Bluesky!
We Discourage the use of Agent Guides, Pitches or Excerpts as attached graphics to pitches.
It bogs down the feed & doesn't allow agents to get through as many pitches. We'd like to allow everyone a fair shot at making an impression

My favorite writing advice: If you wanna write a book, you gotta write a book.
