I (finally) created an agent’s guide to 🪞wip, the cozy contemporary fantasy I’m currently querying!
it’s an odd little book, but I love my sapphic zombies and the Luto Family Funeral Home too much to not jump on the trend (even if I am late…)

I’m seeing a lot of people starting to query so here’s my unsolicited advice:
write down what you love about your book. little things, big things, it doesn’t matter. write them down and hold them close because the trenches have a funny way of making you forget them

starting a first draft and loving these characters and all the scenes you’re excited to write yet being sad that one day you’ll be tired of them and rereading the same thing over and over is such a unique writer emotional rollercoaster

was reading an article for school and started thinking about how it sounded like something emily wilde would write and that might be the best example of voice in writing I can give people

idk, for me, personally, if it’s an enemies-to-lovers situation and the “betrayal” happened before they get together then it’s not a betrayal because there were… enemies

born to watch happy endings, forced to watch as the character constantly falls for the wrong guy while the love interest I like slowly loses her 😭

officially moved to StoryGraph this year and while I’ve enjoyed it so far and definitely think it’s better than gr, I wish they had an option to specify age group while browsing books and that we could create and share book lists

reading a book where the character has an elderly dog companion and she’s starting to worry about it more. I (recently lost my own elderly dog) will simply not survive if the dog doesn’t make it through the rest of the series

reading books you don’t think are good is actually really useful as a writer. I’ve learnt just as much reading “bad” books as I have reading ones I thought were masterpieces

going on the StoryGraph website and discovering they have the option to join readalongs with random people and there are conversations separated by which part of the book you’ve read to avoid spoilers. this might be their best feature yet

hardest part about growing up, for me, is letting go of the person I thought I should/would be and allowing a new, happier, healthier version to exist in its place without truly believing that I killed the adult younger me would’ve loved
