@Ainetierney @chickenhsebooks Thanks Áine - a bit of a departure from when we were critiquing!

So...this is happening. Dopamine levels are sky high today as I get to share the cover of my #teen debut with @chickenhsebooks! I'd love to take credit for the gorgeous cover, but that belongs to ✨#AliAlAmine
It's out on July 3rd but...ahem...can be pre-ordered!😉 #liviainrome

Very much aware that my genre span is ridiculous. Anyone else obsessively read from different age groups/genres? #writingcommunity #libraryhaul #amwriting

@sanchez_m_m Thanks Michelle - checked it out and I'm really enjoying the podcast!
English
@Ainetierney It was Jessica S. on a recent episode of the Manuscript Academy Podcast. It was a passing comment, not a whole episode on it. But she spoke it with a lot of confidence so I'm thinking she was repeating it from a strong source. Good luck!

@sanchez_m_m @keslupo So need to hear this 😆 Can you remember what podcast?
English
@keslupo That's fantastic! Have fun reading! I heard a lit agent say on a podcast recently that there's a prediction MG will return full force next year. I hope that's the case!
