Website & MSWL: agent.keiralekseii.com Query Manager: querytracker.net/query/keiral... Agency website: www.azantianlitagency.com Open to BIPOC voices year round Open to pitch requests/solicited queries/referrals year round Open to all other queries 1st to 7th of every month

Whew! I'm ready for October 1st! Just a reminder: I'll open for 7 days from the 1st, or until I get 100 new queries. Whichever comes first!

I have not one but TWO complete and not-yet-public covers in my inbox for authors with 2026 books and this is almost as bad as having to sit on an announcement after a deal is made (I'm also doing this currently and AUGH!!!) I'm just STARING at them, head empty, heart full. So gorgeous 😭❤️‍🔥

I open to queries on the 1st of every month and I close when I get to 100 unread queries in my inbox (or on the 7th of the month, whichever comes first) You can see my full MSWL on my or the Azantian website but right now? I desperately need a friendship or sibling story that makes me cry. #MSWL

Nothing but respect for Eoin Colfer writing an unapologetically environmentalist children's series in the early aughts. And the environmental themes in Artemis Fowl aren't symbolic or incidental; I was twelve being radicalized about polluted oceans and oil drilling and deforestation. King behavior.

obviously today I assume all my new followers are here on account of I'm a hottie, but I also write books and you can buy them!

In March, I self-published the audiobook for my novelette, "Arcing." Available through most audio publishers and through your local library by request! adriabailton.com/fiction-by-a...

I'm doing an AMA - Ask Me Anything with the Reddit Fantasy community for Read For Pixels @thepixelproject.bsky.social on Wed, Aug 27th. Don't know what to ask? Some topics: writing (obvs), gardening, fragrance. Or anything else. Just don't let me be over there screaming into the void! 😂 #booksky

Happy Release Day to Lord of Ruin by @kmenright.bsky.social!! I’m 75% through and it absolutely lives up to the bar Mistress of Lies set. If you’re looking for a dark, sexy, bloodbath of a vampire series with a trio of morally grey protagonists, The Age of Blood is for you. #booksky #bookreview

The other journalists killed: reporter Mohammed Qreiqeh, videographers Moamen Aliwa and Ibrahim Zaher and operator Mohammed Noufal. The Israeli murder of Palestinian journalists is always intentional, always met with silence. And that's why it keeps happening. don't look away
