Query Update: I'm trying the auto-open/auto-close feature, opening for a few days at the end of every month-will try it out for a couple of months to see how this works out! Also, I have several queries in my *Maybe* pile so will make decisions on those when I have more time.

I know it's a little later than what I'd hoped, but I am now open to queries for a short time. Note that I'm ONLY open to Adult Fantasy and Romantasy projects for this submission period. To query me: querytracker.net/query/2640 I'm excited to check out your projects!

Also, I'm looking for True Crime-I'd love to see projects in this space! Still hoping for a space horror! Also, social & psychological horror (not looking for gory though). In romance - romcoms & historical romance. Grounded sci/fi - (I have 2 clients writing space-related projects already)

I'm open for submissions. I'm limiting the genres & will only be open for a short window. I'm not open to fantasy/romantasy, or thrillers at this time. I'll do a specific submission window for fantasy/romantasy (hoping early February!) Link to query: querytracker.net/query/2640

Query Update: I will be re-opening to queries on January 15th for a very short window and limited genres! Looking forward to seeing your queries!

It's pretty interesting that the day we find out Microsoft is the tech company behind the licensing deal with HC for AI training we also find out Microsoft is launching their own publishing company. 😡

Query Update: I'm all caught up on queries. I have 19 manuscript requests to read. Of those, one is a full & has notified me of an offer. The rest are partials. Two requests are outstanding (meaning I haven't received them yet but one I just requested a few minutes ago😊)

#AgentTip: Remember to "periodically" check your email spam folders. Not "everything" comes via Query Manager.

I LOVE receiving updated wishlists from editors! If any editors here send these out periodically, I'd love to be added to your mailing list!

I'm pinning my special invite query form for those whose posts I *like* that are either a mood board, a wip, pitch, or agent guide and if you'd like to query me (even if I'm closed & there's no pitch event), that means I'd love to see it! querymanager.com/query/2640/B...

I'm back - 😀

Yay, it's Friday! 👏 Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

As the terrible gardener I am, I'm very proud to say my sweet potato plants that I planted a week ago are still alive and seem to be doing very well.

Query & Submission Update: I have 2 fulls & one R&R left in my inbox and will get to those in the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much for allowing me to consider your projects! I'm opening back up to queries in mid-October and very excited to read your work!

Periodic reminder that I don't accept queries via email or through the contact form on my website. These are automatically deleted. This is how I manage the hundreds of queries I receive and how I'm able to keep track & respond. (note that I'm currently closed to queries though) Thank you!

Hello everyone! 🙂
