did someone say wip meta-data dump?

FURY is made specifically for the unhinged bonkai shippers, the bi girlies out for revenge, the queers desperate for a dark academia set in the appalachian mountains where history literally haunts the halls & the monsters were right in front of us the whole time?

I’m thrilled to announce I’ve signed with Penelope Burns at Gelfman Schneider. Penelope is a force to be reckoned with, a sharp and discerning eye and an equally kind spirit. A powerhouse in every sense of the word, I am so pleased to be partnered with such an amazing agent.

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.
