Let the Romancing begin! Happy Valentine's Day & welcome to #Cupit! I'm wishing all of you good luck today! Get those pitches up, but don't forget to spend the day with your loved ones too, that is what today is for. I will be doing the same, especially as it's my dating anniversary (LDR). πΌπΉππ₯π₯°πβ€οΈβπ₯ππ

Heeeey, just a heads up that someone queried a colleague with their manuscript bc chatgpt told them they were a good agent for fantasy, and BUDDIES. The plagiarism bots are wrong. Cursory internet search will tell you that these things are wrong. Use your wonderful brains, please. <3 #amquerying

Feels like every few months we lose another outlet covering books. It hurts authors, readers, publishers, journalists, everyone.
And as social media gets worse and worse to do any kind of promo on, I wonder what the industry plan is.
Ah, existential dread. Great.

Then it shouldnβt be a problem. Youβll likely always have separate contracts just in case *something* happens, but an agent should be able to represent you both.

Definitely possible! Especially if you co-write everything. If youβre also doing solo work, itβs separate and also together, so you just need to make sure theyβre okay with representing you both.

Hahaha I definitely get that!! Iβm happy to have you query me, or if you have questions about the querying process, let me know. Iβll also say that you can submit directly to some audio publishers if you want to!

Iβm so glad but Iβm still so sorry for the gut punch I can only imagine that caused >.<
Even if it WAS true, Iβd NEVER say that to someone on purpose!

I do want to add, I have friends who LOVE your books. Youβre doing great. Self publishing isnβt for the faint of heart and there likely are many agents out there who arenβt interested in representing what you have, if it ends up not being for me.

Hi! First, pitches are an art in themselves π you can still query me tomorrow when I open if youβd like, just without the referral note.
You didnβt do anything wrong. Iβm not 100% sure your books are for me, and thatβs simply a personal reader preference too. But I might know more after a query!
