Today I want to share my synopsis for my WIP. This story is now on draft 8 and I’m expecting to have it ready for pitching (again) come January!

If you read this on the back of a book would you be called to pick it up and take it home? 🐍

#Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

You have to say #no sometimes. Rest is not lazy. It is an #essential practice.

#Burnout is real, and it means you #need to stop. Not forever, but for right now.

Take #care of yourself.

The path doesn’t look like you hoped it would.

The road winds a different way, or through a trial you’d rather not persevere through.

Okay. It’s nice to know at least. Take a moment. Grieve, acknowledge your loss. Let yourself feel. It will do you a world of good.

Had a dream that my #1 agent made me an offer of representation. Woke up at 5:30 am only to find out it wasn't real.

Here's to hoping the dream comes true! 🤞🤞🤞

I have officially entered the querying trenches.
No panic. No noise.

Just precision. Alignment. Intention.

May the right 1s feel the fire behind the pages.
May the rest step aside.

A vilain rises pitched as ATLA x Wicked Ya fantasy, 106k words the background is our solar system planets aligned in a straight line with starts on the outer edges The pitch: Calypso must steak 12 divine amulets in order to regain her powers and seek revenge against her enemies. Pictures of four books: Heartless Hunter, One dark window, the prison healer, poweless the background is our solar system planets aligned in a straight line with starts on the outer edges Themes: villain fmc, elemental magic, destroy the world, dont save it Tropes: secret identity, forbidden love, hate at first sight the background is our solar system planets aligned in a straight line with starts on the outer edges First lines: Calypso Morana was five when her world burned. Later that cruel night, with tears and ash staining her face, she vowed every person involved in the destruction of her realm would die by her hands. Thirteen years later, that time has come. The night is still as Calypso plunges her dagger into the bark of a Red Tree, carving deeper as the trunk squirms with each cut. Thick branches above her shake, dropping a crop of crimson leaves in protest. A low warning echoes from the depths beneath the soil as the ground shifts. Slowly a root snaps up, lifting itself to freedom, slithering toward her like an eyeless serpent.

Well, it’s back go querying I go. If any agents are looking for a psychological thriller, I’d love to share my work with you!

Only If You’re Lucky x Things We Do in the Dark

#agentguide #agentsguide #amquerying #thrillerauthor #psychologicalthriller #queryingauthor
Book title: The Girl You Knew A psychological thriller of 76,000 words Taylor me worst fear has come to life. Someone in the Donovan family knows her true identity, which means they know or the secrets—and bodies—she thought long buried. Desperate to keep her past hidden, Taylor inserts herself into the Donovans’ orbit to learn how much they know, only to discover their secrets are eerily close to her own. Opening lines: I am confident. I am fun. I belong here. My daily mantra. Hourly, some days. You’d think after repeating it to myself for two years, I’d finally start believing it—and I do, sometimes. Not right now, though. For fans of the following authors: Stacy Willingham Jennifer Hillier Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen Jessica Payne
