✨ New moodboard alert! ✨ THE BALLAD OF AGNES DAY, a 115k historical novel in which THE BOOK OF WITCHING meets THE SIRENS, is on track to hit the trenches in April. If any #litagents are feeling these vibes and would like to see it in their inbox, please 🖤 or DM.

Writers ,I'm delighted to launch the first part of the online course: How to Write a Standout Query Letter. Here are some excerpts from part one. open.substack.com/pub/louisebu...

A boy falls through a hole while ice fishing and is saved by his fourteen-year-old granddad. A stranger from the present confronts him at a county fair, but he wants to stay to have adventures with his healthy granddad, because the one at home has Alzheimer’s. #QuestPit #Q #MG

When Keira's sister is taken, her fate intertwines with the God of Light as she faces the last remaining gods, vicious monsters of land & sea, & her own dark powers to find a shapeshifter who could be anyone & whose price for her sister will have her choose b/w love & duty ✨️ #Questpit #RF #F #Q #A 🌗

I love the color and depth I can achieve while making these space storm pendants. #Lampworking #GlassArt #Space

A reminder that I offer a query letter critique service, if you're looking for objective feedback on your query letter from an industry insider ✨ get in touch via my Linktree if interested!
