Having been part of a group a few years back that later used swapped materials to speak poorly of fellow writers in secret group chats, and at times publicly harass them (when I found out, I almost quit writing), I can’t echo this loud enough

Agent’s Guide to “Mark of a Magpie”! 📖🐦‍⬛ When a small-town thief crosses paths with the kingdom’s big-shot assassin, an unlikely partnership is born; but can their goals align before their egos and secrets land them both a spot on the gallows? #QuestPit #Q #YA #NA #F #R #RF #agentsguide #amquerying

THE CURSE OF MILA GOJSALIĆ is a high-stakes retelling of two prominent Slavic myths—the mysterious death of King Zvonimir and the legend of Croatian heroine Mila Gojsalić. #questpit #OS #editorsguide #A #F

Harper's on a #QuestPit to stop an arcane killer. The only way to catch them is with illegal magic, punishable by death, but every murder is on her conscience. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she wonders, whose side she should be on-human or supernatural. #A #P #F #DF

BONE SHARD WAR/THE JASAD HEIR There's a reason magic was silenced. Who will bring it back? The sorceress who will tear down empires, the smuggler with split loyalties who doesn't believe it exists, or the warrior who would die to keep it secret. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #AgentsGuide

I am now open to queries for the rest of February in every genre/age range I represent. So if you fit my list (avoid the subjects I state I don't want), and would like to query me, please do so. Happy to answer any questions below. And just a reminder that I now work at the Ki Agency.

The news is out early so I get to shout about my move to the @kiagency.bsky.social where I will be joining on Monday as an agent and taking my wonderful clients with me. I’m so excited to work with my new team but really sad to leave behind my BA one. Guys thank you for everything. It’s been a joy!

Happy worldwide release day to my fabulous agency sibling!!!

Hi all—I know times are tough right now. If you’re able, please consider supporting my friend @rhiannon_sage and her family as they recover from a devastating house fire. Rhi is a writer, an artist, and a phenomenal friend. www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-b...

I promise you, once you free yourself from the notion that other writers are your competition and start viewing them as your fellow weirdos who share similar special interests as you, your life in publishing will become so much easier.

✨PLEASE SHARE✨ It is live!!! There are over 260 AMAZING items to bid on in the 2nd annual #KidLit4Ceasefire auction from year-long mentorships to signed books to full manuscript critiques to art commissions the fundraiser has you covered! 🇵🇸 Link: bit.ly/KidLit4Cease...

The #kidlit4ceasefire auction is open now! I’ve donated an ARC of Behooved and a query critique. If you win the ARC, I will sign and personalize it for you and even throw in a sticker 👀 There are over 200 items, so bid now!

HOLY sh t. This is going to change comics distribution on a molecular level

Oh yes. This is precisely the kind of news I want to hear about…

Libraries are so cute. Please get the Libby and Hoopla app on your phone and the Kanopy app for your TV. It makes the libraries so happy and you can access books, movies, magazines, audiobooks, tv shows, and joy. YOU GET FREE JOY

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

PSA.

I wrote this for @indexers.bsky.social about passing mentions and how indexers deal with them:

Today, on Shirley Jackson’s birthday, let’s all marvel at one of the greatest opening paragraphs ever written (from THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE)

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.
