Pinning my #EditorGuide for THE CYBERPUNK BARISTA in honor of UnhingedPit! Now on submission🍅☕️

LEGENDS AND LATTES X MIDNIGHT DINER X BLADE RUNNER ☕️ Karmic coffee. Illegal tomatoes. And an ex who still looks way too good in leather. Welcome to the underground café where redemption comes with oat milk foam. #Questpit #AG #OS #A #SF #D (cozy cyberpunk—you read that right!)

☕️In a dystopian megapolis, an underground café run by the enigmatic Barista serves karmic espressos, illicit tomato sandwiches, and the occasional life epiphany. But when her ex walks in, the past she buried threatens to unravel everything. #queerpit #A #D cozy #SF #onsubmission

@AlastairTanJY Not throwing shade, but if you’re an agent who lists sci-fi on QM and never, ever requests any… yeah actually, I’m throwing shade 🙃

Why is it so hard to have science fiction stories represented by literary agents these days?

The management has asked us to clarify: Found Family is subject to availability. Second Chances are seasonal. Existential Crises cannot be refunded. ☕ THE CYBERPUNK BARISTA is currently on submission, Editors’ Guide pinned to profile! #unhingedpit #A #SF #OS #AG

Management would like to thank our valued customers for their feedback. We have no plans to repair the facial recognition. The tomato sandwiches will remain complimentary. MILES refuses to apologize. THE CYBERPUNK BARISTA is currently on submission. #unhingedpit #A #SF #OS

Should I do a HIGMA (even though it’s really kind of… linear)?

Absolutely thrilled to announce that I’m now represented by Andrea Nichols of D4EO. Andrea’s enthusiasm and her vision for my little cyberpunk cafe won me over, and I can’t wait to get this book to editors! 🎉

@AlastairTanJY I draw on how certain events made me feel to give my chars realistic reaction beats. Idk if that counts.

Do you tend to imbue your past experiences into your characters whenever a significant chapter of your life closes?

Where are my sci-fi writing people? Say hi. #writingcommunity

I’m thinking of participating in QuestPit but since I’m vague, I still might… only… for editors I guess? 😜 such terrible, terrible problems to have🤭

As a result, I’m now partially numb, still somewhat medicated, and also ✨vague✨

So I got an ✨email✨ that needs my attention… and I’m at the dentist for the next three hours. Love that for me. 😭

Am I the only person on the internet who actually kinda sorta likes Disenchantment? *hides*

@runesopher When it looks like this going back six months but they’re posting micro-niche MSWLs to three social channels simultaneously 🫠

when their QT timeline looks like this yet they are online making posts about books they wish they could represent 🫠 maybe. it’s. waiting. in. your. slushpile 🫠🫠🫠🫠

The last two are true but I’m obsessed with not repeating outfits. I feel like every time I do, everyone notices and thinks, “there she goes again in her pink wide-leg pants and her stupid blue vest” like I KNOW they don’t, I KNOW no one cares but I can’t help it😳
