Hey all, especially any fellow MG writers! 🙌 I’ve been writing since lockdown and I’m ready to query my 5th MS. It was inspired by the revelation that grief is a universal language, shared by both people and animals alike 😌 My MS features 🦉owls, ⚙️ flying gravy machines, & oodles of oddness! 🤣 ✨

The Utter Zoo Alphabet by Edward Gorey, published Jan 1st, 1967

As Jan 1st 2026 approaches, I wanted to share with you this delightful book, a 1st edition Edward Gorey - a brilliant US author and illustrator known for his whimsical style that was ahead of its time.

Happy 2026!
