I’m beyond excited to say I now have not one, but TWO agents! (If you told me this a month ago, I’d call you cuckoo 😜) Huge thanks to @bookfairyangus.bsky.social & @ashleedani.bsky.social Here’s to more stories as fun as 🧀🐶 and all the art my brain can dream up. 💛

I will NOT be opening to queries June 1-15th so I can focus on client work, and prioritize reading the fabulous manuscripts in my request box. The amazing @_ashleedani will be open and I’ll be reading some of the amazing projects in her query inbox as well. 🤩

I sent additional subs out for two authors today. Sent two new PBs on sub, and finished reading my favorite dinosaur fantasy manuscript. I cannot wait to slide this 🦕 to editors mid June. I also got to announce a book deal for an author and my agent heart is so very full.

SO excited to finally share the news we’ve been sitting on for months! Huge congrats to @booksbygemma.bsky.social for her two book deal with Podium for her traditional publishing debut. THE SLEEPING KEY will be available in print, e book, and more 👀 (which we can’t announce yet).

What’s better than one agent? TWO! I am honored to have @briermarilyn.bsky.social as my first client! She is wildly talented and uber creative! @bookfairyangus.bsky.social and I fangirled so hard over her stories and illustration style and we cannot wait to share her work with all of you!

I just signed a vague thing that I cant talk about for 500 years but @weaverliterary has been waiting to arrive so I guess I can wait a little longer…it won’t kill me. I’ll just be sitting on my throne of vague. There are so many hints in this but no one will know. Secrets

Normalize female reproductive health in fiction. Menstruation. Infertility. Endometriosis. Menopause. Abortion. Chronic Illness. PCOS, Contraceptive. Pain (the list could continue). It shouldn’t be such unspoken thing. Reproductive reality should not be unrepresented.
