I am very rarely on here- I am mostly a threads/instagam girlie- but that said, I am sending around my fall newsletter to editors, so if you are an editor and I somehow missed you, send me a chat and I will send it your way so you're up to date on what's coming up my submission pipeline this fall.🍁
