Hi everyone! Please carefully read the details for MSWL on the 12! It's not a pitching event for writers, but an event for agents to post what they're looking for! That means #questpit on the 12 & #CuPit on the 14 are the next pitching events! Happy writing! #writingcommunity #booksky #writersky

Querying is hard. It takes tons of time, and it can be very emotional. I only want to help make that easier. So, link in bio. I'm announcing a query promotion/contest later today, so stay tuned. Thanks for hanging out with me this month. I had fun doing it, & I hope you learned a ton along the way!

As you prepare for #YouDeservepIt on January 23rd (on X) and January 24th (here on BlueSky), please see the rules and hashtags below! 🙌👏🤗 #writingcommunity

For people in the querying trenches: what are your highs and lows? How long have you been querying? I just want to make sure I'm not the only one taking forever! #amquerying
