I’ve realized that I am not made for mountains. I need more air and humidity in my life. But the hot chocolate is helping.

I am so thrilled to announce that I am now represented by Katie Shea Boutillier at Donald Maass Literary Agency! I am looking forward to working together on IVORY TOWER, a psychological horror and dark academia novel.

It’s not hard to feel so grateful when you have this view for morning sprints.

IT'S WRITERS' RETREAT WEEK!! I cannot wait to hang out with my CPs and immerse myself in the words this week!

Spread the word!

NO but honestly. Pitching and querying really are a vastly different creature. (Not to get too cheesy, but that's the focus of my query intensive haha because this is so real)

In the century Tilaani has been alive and the 85 years she‘s been dead, she’s escorted the soul of nearly everyone she knew into the afterlife. And as always she is left in the space between: 🌱 Life and death 💀 🔥 Fire and ice ❄️ ❤️ Surrounded and alone 🔪 #A #F #R #FR #C #Agented #GhostPit

Please share 🙏✨ATTENTION QUERYING AND INDIE AUTHORS✨ @writehive.bsky.social #HiveMentor is opening soon! This mentorship is unique in that they accept all publishing paths so if you are querying to get an agent or looking to self-publish, this mentorship is for you!

So proud of my state. 💙

An #editorsguide to 🌲THE LAND OF UNDYING SUMMER🌲 This romantic fantasy has: 🐻‍❄️ A setting inspired by the Canadian subarctic 🌋Roots in animistic religion ⚡️A physics based magic system 👵🏽 Crotchety immortals 🏠 Complex family dynamics 🗺️ Neurodivergent MMC #QuestPit #AG #A #F #R #FR

I swear my querying manuscript has had more milestones than I was ready for. Another interesting thing today. Did I still get my words in on my new folk horror? Yes. 🩸 Did I still send a chapter to my accountability group? Yes. 🩸 Did I maintain my focus through all of it? 🩸 Now even a little.

Today’s the day! Have a question about the program, application process, or our mentors? Ask it below! #writingmentorship #roundtablementor #writingcommunity

Epic Grimdark meets Romantasy in The Land of Undying Summer Forced to work together, a half-dead priestess and a wandering mage develop a reluctant camaraderie.

Yall. I was lucky enough to beta test this class and when I tell you JENI HAS ANSWERS, she does. And for ✨today’s✨ querying climate, not older strategies that no longer work. Let me know if you sign up!!

My 4-wk querying intensive, OUT OF THE TRENCHES, is here! The next novel you query CAN be different. There’s no magic wand, just experience, successful traditionally published clients, and a nearly compulsive need to teach people what I know. Book by Nov 1 and save! www.jenichappelleeditorial.com

querying a book means starting the next one

Thrilled to share I’m officially repped by @emilykaitlin.bsky.social @ @bookendsliterary.bsky.social! I’m so grateful to her & @laylafallah.bsky.social for their support and guidance as I begin this next ch. Excited to celebrate with the #writingcommunity in this 🧵! #writesky #agented

We need more books with 🩸 a cult of cannibalistic widows 🩸 sweet tea and ground bone cakes 🩸 toxic reunion of childhood best friends 🩸 diseases that rot livestock from the inside out 🩸 barn dances and human sacrifices #amwriting #folkhorror

Today was a good day. ✨

The fantasy comp-finder database has been updated with 2025 titles! Use it to find comps for your query letter or just to find awesome new books to read in your favourite subgenres. I'm updating the sci-fi one next. www.aealexander.com/comp-finder-... #Querying #Writing #Reading #Fantasy

5am feels so good when you let the words come out bad. (Don’t worry. We’ll fix them later!)

I hate when weekends leave no time to write. 😭

Alright friends, here we go! My first ever #askagent! Comment below with your questions and I'll do my best to answer. I will answer every comment posted in the next hour! Let's see what you got! ☺️

I fully believe that Jeni is the biggest underutilized resource in the industry. I credit her for my ✨22✨ requests after her suggestion for a new first chapter (plus her other notes)! She’s also just the warmest, loveliest human being and treats every project uniquely. You couldn’t ask for more.

Jeni is a story godmother. Her #revpit #10queries are up and have lots of ideas to apply to your own writing, even if you weren’t selected. The piece on figuring out where to start your story? Brilliant! 📖

It's my turn 👀🤭 Welcome to my #RevPit #10Queries! Let's do this 😎 Guide: Q - Query P - Pages A - Adult YA - Young Adult F - Fantasy SF - Science Fiction T - Thriller CR - Contemporary Romance

Time for my #10Queries feedback💫 It was such a pleasure to read these. Several look nearly submission-ready! For everyone, I hope this feedback will strengthen your pitch to agents, even if that involves another revision or so. Now let’s get into the #10Queries. Can you guess which one is yours? 👀

It’s #RevPit day! The world is on fire, but today the RevPit editors invite you to spend some time honing your craft with us. Because stories matter. Your story matters. So. I’m awake and caffeinated and full of querying advice. And I’m up first with my #10Queries! Who’s ready?
