Very proud to have been the agent for two of the 10 best crime novels of the past decade: @meganeabbott’s #DAREME and the first #CLAIREDEWITT novel by #SaraGran. (Yeah: braggin’!!)

Thanks for watching everyone! The Night Agent series is the #1 show around the world and Netflix's third-highest TV debut since they started sharing viewership stats. These numbers are crazy! @netflix just renewed it for a second season. So excited to see the story continue!

Ahead of the Game just got its 70th review and is rocking a 4.75 rating! Thank you for all the support. To celebrate I’m giving away 20 signed copies to people who like and/or retweet this. And who doesn’t like free stuff?!

Damn, y'all! Shawn Ryan's record-breaking @netflix show based on @mquirk 's badass thriller THE NIGHT AGENT has just been renewed for a second season! deadline.com/2023/03/the-ni…

@AllieLevick Wait'll you see that some thing carry forward into the pitch materials for a t.v. show!!!

@Hyperbolyst It’s such a boost!!

No better feeling than seeing a line from your initial pitch make it all the way through internal positioning, to the back of the book, to the paperback promo✨

My latest book, Inside Threat, is now available for pre-order! In stores 6/13/2023. bookshop.org/p/books/inside… barnesandnoble.com/s/1142501256 amazon.com/Inside-Threat-…

@JeremyDauber I'm too slow sometimes, Jeremy, as you know--so very kind of you not to throw me under the bus! What I do strive for is to let clients know that they/their work is very much on my radar, even when I'm behind...

I have to say, @Hyperbolyst is *superlative* at this (in other words, his sensitiveness and responsiveness, not his lack of same!).

Great thread here about the communication between authors & their agents. The timelines @JMCwrites lays out here seem fair & reasonable (even tho' I'm a slow-reading agent myself!) And if I've fallen behind? At very least, you deserve to hear from me w/out having to chase...

Congrats to @MacmillanUSA for publishing so many great (and award-worthy!) thrillers--including two by my own clients, @svwillingham and @erinyoungauthor! Kudos to everybody else on this list too (but howdy especially @JenniferHillier & Chris Pavone) @thrillerwriters

..."Think Rebecca in the UP…. Abbott was once a cult favorite, but those times are long gone. She's a crime-fiction A-lister now.” ⭐️review for BEWARE THE WOMAN From @ALA_Booklist @meganeabbott @PutnamBooks 2/2

Congrats @meganeabbott for a ⭐️ BEWARE THE WOMAN @ALA_Booklist review! “Abbott is an accomplished storyteller…and this is one of her most compelling and well-constructed novels. A real treat for everyone who treasures that sense of Gothic-tinged trouble..." @PutnamBooks 1/2

This brief interlude, a single paragraph of exquisite tenderness in Mary Gaitskill’s amazing @NewYorker story “Minority Report”…

@aliciadaracoach @NewYorker Just finished it. Amazing. There’s nobody else quite like her, you know?

Lately, I’m in awe of everything that Mary Gaitskill writes. This morning I read her incredible new story in @NewYorker, Minority Report. Which led to her beautiful remembrance of Rebecca Godfrey, whose novel The Torn Skirt I published in our youths, and who died last fall. ❤️💔

Watch out, Connecticut! The CrimeConn invasion happens on May 6—lock your doors and bar your windows!! @RaglandKelley

The Night Agent is now out on Netflix! netflix.com/title/81450827 "It is propulsive, slicker-than-slick fun, with every hairpin turn perfectly negotiated." --The Guardian

Proud as punch to have *two* clients nominated for @thrillerwriters's 2023 Best First Novel Prize! Warm congrats to @erinyoungauthor (THE FIELDS, from @flatiron & @HodderBooks), and to @svwillingham (A FLICKER IN THE DARK, from @MinotaurBooks & @HarperCollinsUK)

@erinyoungauthor @svwillingham Indeed he is!!!!

Congratulations to professor of Jewish literature at Columbia and Yiddish Book Center board member, @JeremyDauber, for his new biography, "Mel Brooks: Disobedient Jew." For more on Dauber's book, check out a review from @jdforward forward.com/culture/538930…
