I'm closed to queries. Thanks to everyone who submitted their projects to me! I expect it will take about two months to read all queries.

Somebody sounds frustrated. I guess he's not getting his way.

Excited to share the news of new audio books for client Vera Raye's second romantasy duology! Good to working with Blackstone again!

Michelle Hauck @michelle4laughs.bsky.social · 6d

I get lots of emails telling me they can market my books. Not my client's. Um. Agent not a writer anymore. They don't get much right.

Michelle Hauck @michelle4laughs.bsky.social · 6d

Thinking more and more about reopening briefly to queries, but I would be very slow replying. Would you rather I opened and just took three or four months to respond or longer?

Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in Congress’ newest member in order to delay a vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files. www.axios.com/2025/09/29/m...

Democrats are turning up the heat on Mike Johnson over a delay in the Epstein files vote

Democratic leaders are accusing Republicans of dragging their feet on Adelita Grijalva's swearing in.

I hope it doesn't come down to the military leadership having to make a choice like that.

Oh and bringing back hazing and bullying too.

A fat shaming, beard hating, woman bashing speech. Brilliant! What a genius. This guy is another George Washington.

Yeah, he's tough. He said a bad word and that proves it. What a joke.

This guy comes across as a cut-rate motivation speaker, talking down to people who are a whole lot more intelligent than he is.

Had an editor say urban fantasy may come back in a year or so. 👀

I so agree. Had something like that in my query form responses and someone emailed and told me it was insulting to them. 🤷‍♀️

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Alexander Hamilton could not more accurately describe Trump and the danger to liberty of such a man.

Our current president is a such a man that Alexander Hamilton wrote of....

Manuscript I started editing is my 20th of the year, not counting picture books.

Michelle Hauck @michelle4laughs.bsky.social · 12d

Agent day: posted a deal announcement on the Storm Insta account, read 50 pages of a client manuscript due next month, meetings with an editor and a film agent, call with editor on a deal memo, short walk, answered emails, not sure where the day went!

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year.

Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

We have just one week left until a Republican government shutdown.

Democrats are ready to pass a bill that keeps millions of Americans from getting kicked off their health care. Trump and Republicans won’t even come to the table to negotiate.

Going on five years now and definitely couldn't support myself just with being an agent.
