Unsolicited writing advice, no. 16711:
Not all agents are the same. Not all agents are well-connected, or professional, or act in the best interests of their client. Some are chancers. Some are crooks. So, rather than jump at the first agent who shows interest, do your due diligence. Check them out.

We can’t get over how beautiful the finished copies of APHRODITE by @thatphoenicia.bsky.social are - the team have spent entirely too much time admiring these this week! Out in August from @hqstories.bsky.social!

Very exiting news! Our author Yvonne Vincent has been long listed for a Comedy Women in Print award for her book GAME OF TRUST. ✨

“I hope Slow Gods will appear on awards bal­lots, best-ofs, and many to-be-read piles. I expect it to prove to be one of the best science fiction books of 2025.” Thank you for a brilliant first review of SLOW GODS, @locusmag.bsky.social - out this autumn from @orbitbooks.bsky.social 🚀

June is Pride Month, which is close to all our hearts here at Ki - so we’ve put together some thoughts on queer books and other media that mean a lot to us.

Query tip: when agents ask for a synopsis we expect spoilers and to know the ending— if you don’t give us an ending you’re doing yourself a disservice because we don’t know if that’s how the book actually ends or if you are just trying to keep it a secret.
Bottom line—give us the ending ❤️
