A fun perk of being a literary agent is that we get copies of our clients' books! My shelves are currently bursting with those copies, and I need more room (for more copies of more clients' work, yay!) So be on the lookout in the coming weeks for some amazing #FREEBooks!

I’m enjoying a quiet morning at the SCBWI Carolinas fall retreat watching these three fishermen cast in one direction, oblivious to the fish jumping consistently behind them. Perfect snapshot of narrative distance working in real time. #povmatters #writingcraft #writinglife #morningmeditation

A little #mondaymotivation for #writers to keep in mind for when that messy middle doesn't seem to be coming together--take heart and press into that mess. And if you're struggling with your character's arc? Look for ways to break them down so they can organically have that moment of breakthrough.

Found this book when I was in 5th grade, and it opened the door to other worlds and I just never stopped looking for them.

Happy #BookBirthday to Tom Birdseye and THERE IS NO MAP FOR THIS! A great example of how a talented writer + an editor who gets what the story is about + a publisher who handles the project with care = a masterpiece. It's been a joy to watch this story journey from manuscript to published book!
