Querying is tough. I love my book so much, but I've never gotten an agent like in any pitch event over the last year, if not more. Maybe I just don't know how to sell my book.

Scholars would have it that this tender verse is not a love poem, but rather, an ode to what might have been for Ra'tha―an heir to the ancient House of Tiers, duty-bound to deny his heart―and the farrier, Lethuane, whose part in nefarious schemes remains ambiguous.

So this is how the green bar looks for an absolutely unhinged request rate...

I may or may not be using this visual to manifest requests for my project where first heartbreak turns women into sirens who come back to drown the exes responsible🕯️

I'll be pitching my YA Fantasy Mystery querying novel.

It’s done! I now have two different #WritingCommunity starter packs. I tried to squeeze everyone into these but I’m sure some will be missed. Even if you’re not on the list, go follow all of the 300 #writers and let’s hope everyone follows back. Let’s build this community!

When I have weird dreams - every few months or so - I write them down asap. Obv always forget a lot of them, but anyway, they're a great source for writing ideas.

The first BlueSky exclusive writing pitch event open to all genres!

Much of the #WritingCommunity is migrating due to Twitter's new AI & block policy, so the time has come to bring pitch events with us.
