One of my favorite things is getting to read newsletters from my clients. It’s like a bonus conversation I get to have with them 🥰

I’ve been getting about 3-4 notifications of offers of representation each week since I opened back up to queries.

This is just a gentle reminder to please set a reasonable timeframe if you really wish others to be able to read and get back to you. FWIW I would say two weeks is reasonable.

My dog is in her absolute glory this morning when it feels like 16 degrees.

When it’s really cold she’ll close her eyes, push her head forward, and smile into the wind. So many people who looked miserable going into work smiled when they saw her 💗

Thanks all who attended the @storytimesprint.bsky.social Zoom launch for The Abominable Snow Dancer! I had a blast, and it was the perfect way to kick off my debut picture book launch events.

If you missed it, I still have a few in-person Bay Area events coming up: www.stephlaubooks.com/events

I’ve received a lot of queries through my main inbox today. Please *only* send to my query email or to Query Manager. Sending to my main inbox is how you’ll get lost!

Quick query update. I’ve been open for about a month and I’m averaging somewhere between 300-350 queries per week. I know it’s frustrating to wait for a reply but…there are a lot of queries! It takes time to get to everything.

I love being open to work and I’m excited to keep diving in.

Pals. Your dog should not be off leash if they are going to sprint at a strange dog from 100 feet away.

You don’t know whether my dog is aggressive. I don’t know whether your dog is aggressive. You don’t know whether my dog is immune compromised (she is).

This is a recipe for disaster. Do better.

For illustrators, please send along a dummy or link to your portfolio!

Can’t wait to have a peek!

Query tip: make sure you get someone who knows *nothing* about your book to read your query and explain the story back to you.

You might find you’ve overemphasized some elements or confused them with others.

An agent won’t know anything about your project, it needs to make sense to someone fresh!

If you find yourself thinking, I’ve washed this lime green beach towel a million times. What could it hurt to throw it in with the white towel load?!

I’m going to invite you to rethink your choices.

With love from the lady with ever so slightly neon towels

A couple reminders for the querying crowd:

Dark romance? Not for me.
Murder mysteries? Not for me.
Picture book text only? Not for me.
Graphic novel scripts? Not for me.
Screenplays? Not for me.
