I am over the moon to be represented by @bookfairyangus.bsky.social at Howland Literary! Her vision and enthusiasm for my book, and her insight into the industry, are beyond incredible. So many good things to come!
Thrilled to announce that I represent @barbakoffbooks.bsky.social ! Her inclusive pumpkin loving PB stole my heart. I wanted a book where gender diversity felt normal instead of being a child’s difference. Audrey gave me that and so much more! So excited to work with her❤️🎃
