Oh hey! Look, my next book has been announced. PULLING THE GOALIE features a professional goalie and a Hollywood star training for what she hopes is her breakout role in a biopic.

#QueryTip #Pitch #Logline Formula to get you started:

When [the inciting incident happens], [the protagonist] must [achieve the objective], or risk [the stakes] before [ticking clock]

Then revise and polish at the line level for great effect. Think smart, snappy, and scintillating. Less is more!

Hello #amquerying writers! I wanted to share a quick update. I got so many AMAZING queries since opening Starling—over 1,000. I also had surgery last week so I'm unfortunately behind in my QB.

I'm trying to catch up, and I appreciate your patience. I am seeing some wonderful stuff!

#WriteTip All revision is important, even when it feels like you’re spinning your wheels. Sometimes you need to write in one direction to discover you need to follow a different path. Compare the different options. Which one best suits the story you want to tell? #amwriting #amrevising
