Anyone available to critique a query letter? #booksky #romantasy #query

My daughter told me that she was "bragging" to all her friends at school that her mom is going to have books in bookstores one day. 🥹 So sweet how much she believes in me. 💕

Wrong hashtag! Oops! #posterpit

Wow! So many incredible posters for innovative design! Please take a look at the nominations and consider voting for my sea witch romantasy poster. Thank you!!! #posterpitch #booksky

A runaway sea witch strikes a deal with a cursed lord—offering to lead him to the fabled Knife of Echoes, a relic fueled by love-blood sacrifice. With a ruthless king hunting them, they must decide what—and who—they’re willing to lose to survive. #POSTERPIT #R #F #W #FT #A

For me, someone’s worth in publishing is NOT defined by how far they are on their journey. Everyone matters equally. We’re all on our own paths, but chasing similar dreams, and it’s not a race.

My dad bought my daughter a karaoke machine, and...well...yeah. It's huge.

I’m going to talk about having an author vision for your story.

Agents usually ask for sample pages with your query, most often the first five or ten pages. The golden advice is to be super aware of how your fifth and tenth pages end.

Happy New Year, #PosterPit people! We hope your 2026 is a grand one, and we hope to see you premiere during this year's pitch event! As always, #PosterPit will occur on the 3rd Saturday in April, and the full schedule for our 2026 event is listed below. More news to come 👀🍿

Spoke to mom today, and I happened to mention that I've been working on my romantasy series a lot this week. She actually asked me how many books (PLURAL) I've completed this week. Completed over ONE WEEK! This is what I'm up against folks. #booksky #writer #writerslife

In a lot of queries I’ve read, not only during the contest, but for clients and during my agent internship, too, I’ve noticed that the character’s internal journey is often fuzzy, or left out completely. What do I mean?

My daughter is prepping for a talent show, and I'm nervous! She's doing a mini musical theatre version of "Journey to the Past." She nine and is vocally prepared thanks to her instructor. I still need to put together a costume. Any advice? #Parents #advice #musicaltheater

I'm looking forward to working on The Knife of Echoes later today. But first...the dreaded errands. Stupid grocery shopping. Do I reeeeeally need to stop at the bank? Boo. What project are you working on or what's getting in your way? Artwork is by the talented @sarakapadia.bsky.social

Look what just came in the mail!!!! Not only do these sound amazing, but I think Heartless Hunter *could* work as a comp for one of my projects. Technically it's for research so that makes adding to the tbr stack okay, right? #booksky

I was just scolded for interrupting my daughter's reading session. Lol, I'll forgive the sass little miss. I get it. #mg #PercyJackson

I really think I might go for it...maybe. Still trying to pick which romantasy to enter. My peeps are divided. 🤔 #writers

Making lots of progress with my "Promised" romantasy WIP! Love their banter! Building the world is such fun! I find it SO MUCH easier to write as I develop my craft and improve my outlines. Hope everyone is having a great writing day! #booksky

Saw Wicked for the first time tonight! It was AWESOME!!! #movienight

We went out to dinner for my birthday, and my young daughter asked me to wear the headband she made me. So, I did what any mom would do. I wore the headband and got some looks. I know they were just jealous and wondering where I acquired such a cool hair accessory.😎 😜

✍️After I finish writing this book 🤝Land an agent 📖Have it published 🎬Get a movie deal I'm going to invite all you wonderful people onto my yacht, and we're going to have the most productive writers retreat! #booksky #manifesting #Not2much2ask
