For today's @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor question, I have a lot of reservations about my answer already, so please @ me to ask questions this week if you have them.
"I think" should be the caveat here, bc I'm always open to being surprised by a manuscript OR a writer's process!!

Bold of you to assume that I have read for fitness and for fun this year with all of *gestures wildly* going on.
I'm going to call out two books I really liked: Tempered in Ash by Willo Glenn and An Ambitious Woman and Her Very Normal Pet by Lily Greene. Both are worth your read.

My books are finally up on Barnes & Noble and Bookshop.org! It was a little painful to get here, but seeing them up there under those banners makes me emotional. Self-pubbing this book this year has been such a roller coaster of emotions. It’s not easy but it’s been 100% worth it.

Oh my gosh, so many. The most recent was Charlene Thomas’s STREETLIGHT PEOPLE, which has all the character work I loved in her debut with an additional speculative twist! In adult, Hester Steel’s THE FACELESS THING WE ADORE lives rent free in my brain. #HiveMentor

My mentee is not me. I know that's a weird sentiment, but it's also my guiding principle both as an editor and a mentor. I am here to help make a story the best it can be within the framework of the story you're trying to tell. I want to know what you're passionate about in the story...

SO thrilled to be a WriteHive mentor for another year! Yes, you're counting right - I'm a part of 2 mentorship programs this year! Double the fun, y'all!
My MSWL is, as ever, very loose. This is so that you don't self-reject, and so that you don't pigeon-hole yourself into not applying. Just do it!
