New Year, New Laura @slowlaurus.bsky.social · 18d
I'm so thrilled to announce that I'll be starting the new year agented by the amazing Victoria Doherty-Munro at Writers House! Her vision for Iris' time travel love story just blew me away.

I can't wait to see what 2026 holds!

When Gio’s BFF Sky falls down a sinkhole into another world, Gio follows to save her, but after becoming stuck herself, Gio must rely on her wit and D&D knowledge to rescue Sky, save their friendship, and get home. #BluePit📖 #YA #Q portal #F #agentsguide #LGBT

Hi. 👋🏻
If you’re an #editor with my ms in your inbox and if you, like me, like to spend New Year’s Day snuggled up with your furbaby and a good book, may I suggest mine? It’s an easy read, very cozy, a little magical, with a guaranteed HEA. Fair warning, you’ll want a warm beverage and snacks.
