Libby must team up with a distractingly handsome ghost in order to save her childhood crush (and love of her life) from a generational curse. 👻👻

(🧵) According to google sheets, the spreadsheet I made for plotting You’re the One That I Haunt was created on April 1st last year, which means we’re coming up on the 1-year mark of me thinking, dreaming, and giggling about Trip and Libby. #writingcommunity

I’m excited to announce that I’m now represented by Ariele Fredman at UTA!! I couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Ariele. Her editorial vision completely aligns with the story I want to tell. Plus, I loved her energy from our very first call. #writingcommunity

The face of a girl who never expected to make it to the Eras Tour and ended up with floor seats last night. 😭😭

I could wax poetic about what Taylor means to me as an artist and a storyteller but I’ll spare you. If you’re a Swiftie, I’m sure you already know!! 🩷🩵

I'm going crazy waiting for "approval" from Catherine, so, here's another guide for my second chance romance, WHO COULD STAY (Where the Crawdads Sing X Meet Me at the Lake) in which a tortured artist gets drug home to care for her her gran, and mend her burned bridges.

I've put off sharing my "HIGMA" because it's not sunshine and rainbows.
if you're in the query trenches, making every mistake and fighting for your book---you're not alone, and if I found my person, you can too. 💙
