A screenshot of a photo of Kat smiling with teeth and the sunlight hitting her long, wavy, blonde hair. Text: I’ll do an #AskAgent session as long as this story is up this weekend. What would you like to know about writing/querying/traditional publishing? And a question bubble saying “Ask me a question” with a space to enter a question. (This session is on Instagram this time.)

Another question for #writers and #authors: How often would you like to see #AskAgent sessions offered? I’m also considering saving the sessions as transcripts/thread screenshots on my website so they’re easily accessible. 🧐

Two questions for #writers and #authors: if I were to continue making video courses and/or doing webinars, what content would you like to see besides my query + synopsis course? Do you prefer live or pre-recorded (go at your own pace)?

#WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmQuerying #LiteraryAgent
September 23, 2023 at 11:17 PM

Question for the #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying #Writers #Authors: is it helpful and appreciated to know stats when it comes to number of submissions vs requests, rejections, etc.? How about what’s working/not working in queries (anonymously, of course)?

Good morning! I'm once again open to new queries as of today!

If you'd like to see what I'm looking for, feel free to check out my wish list at erniechiara.com/mswl

I'll be closing again with the Fuse team over the winter holidays, so I'm excited to see what comes my way!

Did you know I offer a query + synopsis course to help querying #writers get their query materials polished? It’s a pre-recorded course, so go at your own pace, apply what resonates with you, and submit a query or synopsis for critique afterward!

#WritingCommunity #AmQuerying
Background is a transparent image of a pair of hands typing on a laptop keyboard. At the top is a tiny logo for Kathleen Foxx. Text: QUERIES & SYNOPSIS COURSE. Avoid making mistakes in your query & synopsis, learn how to get them right, examples of both, query critique demonstration, a note on memoirs and resources for comps, query OR synopsis critique is included. Let's get those agents/editors requesting pages! Cost: $59 USD. Time: 1.5 hours.

Last year on my birthday, I said out loud to the universe that 43 is going to be my year. I believed it. I wasn't sure how or what it would be to "make" my year, but with hard work, dedication, and persistence, I've managed to make this year truly my year!
