Hey all! If you followed me here from Shawn's live, drop a hello!

Wow! What a beautiful view from my balcony. #sunset

Exciting!

Publishing has a serious class problem. It is one of the most socially exclusive of all creative industries. Please, if you can, read this. @thebookseller.com @ipghq.bsky.social thebeemagazine.com/publishings-...

Hello #writers! If you're in the Detroit area, I'm going to be at the Michigan Writing Workshop on Saturday May 3rd. I have a (very) few slots open to take pitches! But there are other agents and great speakers, so come on out and learn how to get published. michiganwritingworkshop.com

Thank you, Canada 🍁 🇨🇦

Just a reminder that if your local independent bookstore doesn’t have the book you want in stock, they can usually order it in for collection within 24-48 hrs.

Revising can be tough, but maybe you just need some new tools. Join @writersloftma.bsky.social and me as we open up the Self-Revision Toolbox on 4/23! www.thewritersloft.org/offers/HBVR6...

Congrats to my client Sarah Broadway on her upcoming fall debut release, QUEEN OF THE DEAD. Preorders are up so don't wait. If you like spooky paranormal fantasy with a splash of romance, check it out! @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/791230...

Storms in the STL. Pretty sure we’ll need a new roof after the heavy hail, but thank God, no tornadoes here. Our basement “cat room” got plenty of use tonight!

The last two weeks has taught me something important. Packing 24 years of memories is possible, but really really hard. #downsizing #moving #emotional

A reminder for these times.

Happy #caturday!

Yes

I am open to queries today through the 7th!

Late to the #MSWL party but all of you querying authors out there, I'm looking for something in the #Adult #nonfiction genre. Specifically, I want to laugh. So if you have any humor-based proposals out there, I'd like to see them! I will open my QM link from 2/13-2/17 ONLY, so be quick. :)

We could have had this. 😢

Them: Reading isn’t political. Me: then why do they ban book sweetie?

I soooooo had hoped to see this on my #Iceland trip. Maybe next time.

This!!!

Did you see Leigh Bardugo's IG stories today? In addition to her already incredible donation of signed and personalized Owl Crate Editions of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy AND the Six of Crows Duology, she's also matching the winning bids! Amazing!!! ##kidlit

Hey, #BookSky, remember when we read dystopian books to escape reality? Being in the story isn’t nearly as much fun.

Trying to find a way to incorporate these pics into a funny book. #iceland #writingcommunity

Need help with your #writing? Check out Vicky’s page. And this online #conference. I’ll be there!

My three bozos in a rare moment of snuggleish solidarity. #catlove

Sending out the call again because I am now in desperate need of middle grade and sci-fi/fantasy YA books! 🙏 Oh, and graphic novels and (middle/HS appropriate) manga! Please boost so we can reach as many folks as possible! ❤️‍🩹📚

So, TikTok is gone. Guess the “midnight” timeline was BS just like everything else we’re told. 🙄

It’s such a mess here. I’ll just pretend I’m back in #Iceland

Manhattan smog: fog + pollutants. From 1971-77, the Documerica project captured 20,000 images of America’s environmental impact. Explore these through the National Archives. The photo below is from Documerica—join the movement! Let’s not forget our past, or we’re bound to repeat it.

On our Golden Circle tour. First stop was beautiful!

Just boarded my flight for #Iceland! Ready for some international fun!

#booksky #books

Going to be bad here for a few days. Who’d of thought I’d have to go to #Iceland to escape the cold of the #polarvortex?!😂 (STL on the right.)

Trying to get back into the swing of agent things. Getting through my QM and reading client work. And my agent expects my new manuscript at the end of the month. 😬

Is it sinking in?

Looking for holiday gifts? Signed books make great ones! Come see me and @katieoteywrites.bsky.social at the Edwardsville, Il Books-a-Million today!

There’s a kid out there who needs your book. Maybe to know they aren’t alone or that there’s more possible than they imagined. To learn something new, visit an old friend, or make a new one. Maybe they just need a smile on a tough day. There’s a kid out there who needs your book. Write for them.

Reminder that your favorite local indie bookstores make a lot of their yearly income during the holiday season. Go shop local today. ❤️

Happy pumpkin pie day!!

Anyone else have 7 doctor visits or testing scheduled for the next 3 weeks or is it just me? Tis the season, right? #deductiblemet

Yes. It’s been a Monday. That is all.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Diving into client work today. Then this week, I will be reaching out to a few of you for pages. If you don't hear from me though, don't worry... I'm super slow right now due to health issues. Brain fog is really weighing me down lately. #agent #authors #amquerying

Had a wonderful visit to The Book Celler in Chicago, this weekend. And wouldn't you know it, they have autographed copies of CAPTAIN SUPERLATIVE and THE LOST THINGS CLUB just waiting to be adopted. #kidlit #mglit #WillYouBeSuperlative

Excited to announce this year’s KidsWrite theme, submissions open early December. KidsWrite is a free writing contest for youth put on by the San Diego Writers Festival. More info coming soon! #kidswrite #writingcommunity
