Hey #Agents! 😊 I'm looking for participats in a project I'm doing on humanizing agents and agenting.
I've been thinking a lot about how there's this abstract veil over the job title that gets a lot of misrepresentation and/or assumptions of who you are.

I finally published my first Substack today 🥰
And because I don’t know how to do anything halfway, I went straight for an emotionally raw, brutally honest first post.
Everyone says to dream big, often, boldly…
But why.
The answer rewrote my entire life.

My next WIP is a dark NA Gothic Horrormance that's giving lyrical dread with a cut of rot-soaked obsession and a dash of tragic necromantic hunger. The only HEA this feral FMC needs is the one where everyone leaves her the fuck alone.

For as long as I can remember, October-ish to December has been the absolute slowest time of year in the publishing industry, especially Dec.
I hope that never changes. It's good to collectively have time to reset, breathe, and come up with our next master plan for literary world domination. 📖 ✍️

My mini pitch + moodboard for my NA Dark Paranormal Romance. 🥰🖤
A vamp loses his eternal love, has a mental break and dabbles in necromancy to bring her back, only she returns as a human newborn, Emma, unaware he's been lurking for 18 years until he tries to kidnap her.
Death & obsession collide.💀🥀

Veilstrider is so freaking important to me because it's my own self reclamation with a dash of magic. It's the me that found her voice, unapologetically set boundaries, and refused to let the world harden her heart even through immense pain. So, yea, I'll shred it, cut darlings, and put in (1/2)
