This week two clients got “the call” and we’re ending the week wrangling up their contracts.
I know publishing feels harder than ever lately, but good things are still happening, and great books are still being scooped up.
Hang in there. ❤️

Life update!
I'm now interning with Haley Warrington at The Booker Albert Literary Agency! I'm so so excited to start learning more about the agenting process and supporting the authors.

if you're in Alberta and you want your flu and covid shot in 2026 - yes you read that correctly - you have to preorder them right now. So here's the link. go do that. Just in case none of those people get removed from power by then.
please repost this, as the province seems bent on killing us.

One thing I will never shut up about is libraries. Genuinely our finest achievement as a civilization. Go check something out for me this week and contribute to third spaces and communal joy in your neighborhood while also enjoying some sweet artistic endeavors made by real humans like you!

the problem with getting better at editing is that you always want to edit a book you're supposed to be ignoring for the sake of writing a different one

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

The best part about having been beta reading for so many years now on my road to becoming a lit agent is that I can see how much stronger my critique and feedback have gotten over time. If you feel like you aren't giving great feedback yet: keep working on it!
