so... 🌟i'm agented!!🌟

@alexbrownwrites.bsky.social found my weird, cosy/creepy genre-blending story & saw the heart in not just this one book, but the rest of my stories as well🥹 i am so excited to work with her, and i can't wait to see what comes next! 💕

A blurry image of an urban landscape at night, with the words "KAY CHOO" written on the top, followed by a round image of the back view of a woman wearing a black jacket looking out into a lake, and the words "is now represented by ALEX BROWN, Mad Woman Literary Agency" below the picture.

On the top half of the image, text on a background of an urban nightscape that reads "For The Days We Never Had", followed by text against a translucent reddish background that reads, "After Kai Le and Ai Yu encounter a mysterious entity at a bus-stand, they find themselves getting what they wanted - and more. Thrown into the world of urban legends, they have to grapple with the monsters they have unleashed, both figurative and real. Are their dreams worth losing themselves over?"; "Adult Urban Fantasy - 94k words".

On the second half of the image is a 7-Eleven at dusk, with a row of pictures over it: the book cover for Velvet was the Night; the book cover for The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue; and the anime poster for Durarara!

Seren Kilig🪻🦋 @serenkilig.com · Apr 30

Ultimately, the Sword picks the Scribe — but I think @shannonlechon.bsky.social and I work better as partners, wouldn’t you say?

After the most stressful month of my life, I thought I'd want rest, but no. We have so many more queer, cutting, and unflinchingly Filipino stories to talk about ~ 🪶

Seren Kilig is represented by Shannon Lechon at Azantian Literary Agency. Seren is depicted by a drawing from littlestpersimmon on Bluesky, which is of Seren’s character, Rivers. Rivers is a brown-skinned androgynous Filipino wearing a black cloak with cloth bandages around their neck. The background of the image is a grainy vintage picture of a university library.

APPARATUS, an adult Historical Fantasy by Seren Kilig. The background is a grainy 2x4 moodboard centered around 1920s imagery. This imagery includes a flapper girl in a sparkly red dress, text that says “body & soul”, a dagger hidden in a book, a tube of lipstick overtop handwritten letters, red wine pouring into a glass, a deck of tarot cards, text that says “coffee and cigarettes”, and a red die with a miniature crown.
