Happy one-month birthday to my sweet, bouncing baby book! How have you been in the world for a month already?! Here are some thoughts from me one month post-pub, and a handful of dates where you can come see this cutie-pie (and me) in person: jennifervanderkleut.substack.com/p/happy-one-mo…

@KoalaQuillHQ Ummm....yeah, mama really needs to work on that. 🤣

@JennVDK Has it started sleeping through the night yet, or are you still up at 3am refreshing your Amazon rank?

@KevinCostn66935 Thank you!

@JennVDK “Happy one-month birthday to your book! 🎉📚 Time really flies. Love seeing the reflections and upcoming events — wishing your little literary cutie continued success and lots of happy readers! #BookBirthday #AuthorLife”

@JennVDK Love the consistency you’re putting into this book 👏 Quick question have you explored Goodreads Listopia placement yet?

@GwenythReitz Love this video!! CONGRATS!! 🥳

It’s finally happening!📚✨ My galleys for You’re Déäd To Me, Reed Walker are here! Holding this book in my hands for the 1st time was so surreal, & having my family by my side made it even more special. Only 63 days until it’s yours. ⏳✨ 🔗’s in my bïø #writingcommunity

@writingwithreed Mom of the year!!

Is having a blue tinged hand worth it? Absolutely!! She screamed with joy when she saw the results 💙

Almost gave up querying a manuscript, sent it to a big agent just because, got a full request… Ah! I am manifesting an offer!!! 🕯️✨

Last night at FrederickBookArts with Curious Iguana bookstore was amazing! I’m touched how many readers, Bookstagrammers & fellow @MWA members came out. Thanks to the staff for all their help and to my awesome convo partner @KathleenBarber. A night to remember!

Writers - if the stakes aren't clear, your manuscript, is missing a critical element - in all genres, not just thrillers. This was a fun interview where I talk about the stakes in my debut, and all the books and writers who inspired me from the beginning. bit.ly/3P483xT

Come see me in Maryland and Virginia this month! And read a fun recap of my west coast trip (with photos!) in my latest newsletter: jennifervanderkleut.substack.com/p/west-coast-r…

What an amazing night at @Copperfields Books in Petaluma! I’m touched at how many readers came out. Thanks especially to Allison for making me feel so welcome and to Jamie for inviting me. I signed several copies for the store on my wait out! @crookedlanebks

Northern CA friends! I’ll be at @Copperfields in Petaluma this Sunday at 5pm reading from my debut thriller, answering pub/querying questions and signing books. I hope to see you there! @crookedlanebks @BookSparks

@SarahMayWrites @DHHlitagency Huge congratulations!! 🍾

Yesssss can finally announce I got a literary agent! After 5 months of querying, 10 full manuscript requests, 2 official offers (and a few agents wanting more time), I am so happy and excited to say I’m now represented by Diana Beaumont at @DHHlitagency On to the next step!

@KassandraTyst @GrandCentralPub @HachetteUS Huge congratulations!! 🎉

𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐋!⁣ ⁣ I’m beyond excited to finally share the news! The past year has been such a whirlwind, and I still can’t believe my book will actually be coming out next year with @grandcentralpub @hachetteus
