12 Things No One Will Tell You About Being a Demigod, by Danai Christopoulou

Danai has helped in so many inestimable ways not only with query letters, developmental edits, and writing coaching, but also helping at a time when I was like "I don't know how to figure things out out anymore" and she helped me hugely. She's patient, organized, and awesome! Hire her!
This autumn has been much tougher than expected so I’m reopening my books. Need eyes on you query package, manuscript, or someone to discuss all things publishing? Reach out!

Hi do you want stories about grief and mushrooms? Alien mushrooms?
A gutting story of love, loss, companionship and how far someone can go to cling to the ghost of a loved one. Fungi consciousnesses have always been an amazing metaphor for our lost connections with nature and with others.
