DON’T LET THE FOREST IN x Over the Garden Wall
Trans boy Owen has come home from an 11-month captivity in the woods by killing the monster that held him, but when he starts changing into something horrible, he realizes whoever kills the monster must replace it. #queerpit #YA #H

A nine image moodboard with a deer skull, a boy with his face blurred out, a wolf's maw, an ao3 note saying "this is gay", a boy being beckoned into a forest, a raven, hands digging into green undergrowth, two hands making a pinkie promise, and feet hanging over a ledge.

not closing to queries, but my replies will be delayed for a little while as I focus on client work and finishing the fulls I’ve already requested. I’m caught up to about halfway through June on query replies - if you queried back in May and haven’t heard, it’s in my maybe pile!

The good news continues! So happy to announce that I’ve signed Caitlin Clements! Caitlin got my attention after querying in response to my X post asking for a tearjerker romance and WOW did she deliver! I can’t wait to bring this swoony YA project to life with her.

good question - I’d imagine that if I had clients who wanted to pursue adult works, solutions would be case by case. I know some authors have multiple agents who rep different areas of their career, so I’m sure if Heather and I were both interested in your work, that would be a conversation to have
