Reposting so you all can see exactly WHAT I’m so excited for 😂😂😂
And for those who prefer the classic PM image. (Or perhaps are on a smart-phone, where it's harder to read small text---a situation that had to be pointed out to me by a friend since I, uh, still use a flip-phone.)

Authors, I highly recommend this read on the state of the market with the added note that I see a “track” that’s gotten attached to debuts as well.

Publishers are increasingly looking for debuts to bring marketing platforms w/them (be this via the authors’ social media, fanfic platforms, etc.) 1/2
I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Heads up #amquerying: I will be open to queries from *October 12-19*, or until I reach 500 queries.

I am just about through the 500 queries I received in June - it has taken me 4 months due to health, working 3-3.5 jobs and making sure I have some balance remaining.

Thanks for understanding!
In advance of reopening to queries on *June 13* to marginalized creators, I have updated my Manuscript Wishlist on my website.

Most of my wishlist remains perennially true, but I wanted to pull out some things I'm especially excited to see right now:

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.
