✨HELLO! I have news!✨ I am so happy to announce I’m officially repped by @ariannasidd.bsky.social at Fineprint Literary! Her love for not only my little bone collector & her friends, but my future projects as well, blew me away. I’m so excited for our next steps with this novel!

So, let's make it fully official, shall we? 👀 I’m so happy to now be represented by @ariannasidd.bsky.social from FinePrint! I had a hard choice to make between several offers for my coastal gothic horror, but my chat with Ari wouldn’t leave my mind, and I knew I'd regret not joining forces! 🌱

Such kind words - thank you so much @kaitlynabdou.com

New Client Alert! Think CIRCE X KAIKEYI X Kill Bill. So excited to work with Vishnu.

As promised, here’s my query letter breakdown. Best of all? My agent, @ariannasidd.bsky.social , contributed her thoughts too. I always found it helpful to view queries during my decade in the trenches, so I hope others find this valuable. #WritingCommunity tashalivingstone.com/query-letter...

After querying a decade and receiving two incredible offers of representation, I’m delighted to share I’ve signed with FinePrint Literary Management and have the absolute pleasure of calling @ariannasidd.bsky.social my agent. As you can imagine, fifteen years of writing means I’ve had significant

I’ve given the same feedback a few times recently and I know reading between the lines of agent feedback can feel opaque, so I thought I’d dig a little into what I mean. Hopefully this is helpful if you’ve ever gotten this feedback: “The stakes are too big”

Hope everyone is having a warm and happy holiday. I am sneaking in here to announce I'm open to queries as I've read and decided on the majority of my fulls. (passes/other feedback will be delivered after Christmas) <3

I’ve donated a six month mentorship! I encourage others to donate as well for such an important cause ♥️

I’ve donated an arc and a query critique—if you have something to donate this is a great cause and Sandra is doing so much amazing work!

WHY YOU SHOULD APPLY TO A WRITING MENTORSHIP (ft the old guard of mentorships, my experience as a mentee, and Roundtable Mentor) in 2022, I was a mentee hopeful with a manuscript that would later become my debut novel. Why did i choose to do a mentorship?

✨I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR✨ I am so very excited to announce my adult fantasy romcom, SECOND TIME'S A CHARM, will be published with @grand central in summer 2026 🤍

hey #amquerying crowd, if you have fulls out - tell me in your initial query letter! if you get a full request while I have your ms, tell me again! I, personally, like knowing!

Applications are open now! If you are an unagented author seeking mentorship in trad or indie publication, we hope you'll consider applying to Round Table! We close to mentee applications at 12pm EST on December 15th! Mentees will be announced February 1st. #writingcommunity #querying #mentorship

@anascribe.bsky.social made me the most beautiful header! I recommend y'all go commission her.

#NW twisters…. As a huge glen Powell fan I can’t believe I’m watching for the first time on a plane

So this is my call to Greek publishers: if you’re interested in Vile Lady Villains and for some reason the manuscript isn’t already in your hands, reach out. I hope you’ll take a chance on a Greek author’s book that combines Greek myth with Shakespeare 🖤

I’m on a long flight to London so why not? 1 like = 1 piece of Ari lore
