Been away from 🦋 for a hot minute, but I'm going to try and be more active over here. For starters, here's my new agent guide for MARITIME ⚓️ #amquerying #writingcommunity

Looking for opinions, please 😊 Do you begin looking for beta readers after a solid first draft? Or do you give your manuscript a few passes first? I'm the type to edit as I go, and I'm afraid that I might spend time editing something that may not be working, anyway.

Made a new graphic in honor of edits for 319 LIES starting next month! Can't wait ❤️🖤
