When Skyler made a 🤝 with the reaper to catch 👻 in exchange for putting her cancer in remission, she did not have a half ghost boy begging her to reunite him with his body on her bingo card. The ⏰ is ticking and the reaper doesn’t like secrets.

I have a board meeting at work today so I’ll poke my head back in later to catch up on quest pit notifications. Please don’t think I’m ignoring anyone! 💜

Let’s goooo!
When exorcising ghosts, it helps to have a medium with a cool head and sympathetic heart.

Constance is a medium with none of those.

I’ve read this and highly recommend an agent snatch it up!
COBAB x Animorphs

After a desperate outcast pretends to be the Chosen One, the REAL Chosen One is kidnapped. To save him, she must cross the world, pursued in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with an Empire obsessed with the arcane abilities of her friends.

I want this on shelves yesterday!
He's the only thing standing between college students and certain death. Unfortunately, teen monster hunter Daniel is responsible for more civilian deaths than monster kills, and unless he can find the key to a power he doesn't believe in, his new friends will pay the price...

“NEW GIRL MOVES TO SMALL LOUISIANA TOWN, BECOMES OBSESSION OF DEMON WORSHIPPING CULT OF NEVER-AGING TEEN BOYS

Read about how she and her friends put a stop to it on page 7.”

Okay writers I have a fresh set of questions for yooooou!
October 25, 2025 at 9:50 PM
Hardcore it’s gotta be character building. World building can require a lot of research and character building always feels more organic to me which is fun to just vibe with them
Q40: Thank you all again for joining me with these writer. questions. I made them open this week so more people can enjoy them!

Last question:
Do you prefer worldbuilding or character building?
October 26, 2025 at 3:44 PM
It’s ace week and it’s a great time for agents show some of us querying aspec authors some love! My contemporary paranormal YA is in some of your inboxes now 👀

Definitely the character. I get to know them first before the setting has a chance to flesh itself out
Q1: What comes first for you the character or the setting?
October 11, 2025 at 9:27 PM
A lot of people are gonna say scrivenor or something similar, but I’ll say canva. Canva is huge for me to make graphics and whatnot. Even if not for pitch events, I use graphics for myself to figure out the vibes of a new idea or my characters
Q13: What’s been your favorite tool as a writer?
October 11, 2025 at 9:25 PM
Had so much fun checking out everyone’s pitches today and got to connect with some new authors! I tried to keep up with my notifications but if I missed you apologize. I was in back to back meetings at work for 3.5 hours during the prime of the pitching 😵‍💫

Recipe:

1 tsp teenage 👻 hunter

2 tsp 🤝 with the grim reaper to keep her cancer at bay

3 tsp annoying 👻 who swears he’s alive & begging for help finding his body

2 tbsp potential to ruin her 🤝 if she helps the 👻

Shake and stir. Pray the reaper doesn’t know what you’re up to

When Skyler is forced to choose either her life saving 🤝 with the reaper to catch 👻, or help 👻 Toby find his body, she has an impossible choice to make. If only Toby’s bestie wasn’t so cute and she wasn’t afraid of her cancer coming back…

#DVparty day 6 - next WIP

When Sutton moves to small town Louisiana, she becomes the target of a group of boys who bring havoc and death each Halloween but are never connected to their crimes. She and her friends work to unravel the mystery of how they’ve lived for decades and how to stop them!

Day 5 of #DVparty playlist!!

The songs reflect both Skyler’s tastes and the vibes of the book/other characters. Skyler inherited some of her mom’s love of 90s grunge and classic hip-hop. Her friendJace is a massive Billie Eilish fan, and Skyler loves her some kpop, too.

Day 3 of #DVparty — opening lines, y’all!
October 4, 2025 at 3:43 PM
#DVparty folks meet Skyler, the 👻 hunter just trying to keep her 🤝 with the grim reaper to keep her cancer at bay. She’s not one to squander a second chance at life, playing by the rules as best she can. She also might be ace but who’s got time to think about that with a 👻 following her everywhere?

It’s #DVparty time, y’all! Have a gander at my mood board for a story about a teenage ghost hunter just trying to stay alive. She also might be ace and very confused about a boy 😵‍💫
