This is one of those books that reminds you of the thrilling feeling of finding a work you love--and a writer kind enough to go on the journey with you. Honored to work with you, Amy.

Happy to announce … I’ve tunneled my way out of the query trenches and am now represented by the amazing @Jsinsheim at @ContextLiterary! (Pretty sure this is actually happening outside of my head.) Can't wait to launch to Mars with my upmarket sci-fi debut. 🚀 #WritingCommunity

We love all the buzz THE MIDNIGHT CLUB by @MargotFHarrison is getting! 🎉 @audible_com included it as one of its top listens for fall 🎧and @bustle's round up said: “It’s eerie and suspenseful, but fundamentally a poignant look at grief, regret, and friendship.” 😱 @jsinsheim

@contextliterary @jsinsheim Hi, sorry to ask but I had sent a query around 8 weeks ago and I hadn't been informed that she was closed to queries. Does that mean that I need to resend it? Thanks!

@GSBrouwer We didn't have majors! But I've always been really interested in science, even if I think it's (usually, or perhaps just for my brain type) often taught in the worst possible way. ("Memorize this thing! No you cannot see a real world example. You'll learn the why next year...")

It's such a cool thing! I imagine we have this feature so we remember practical things (smelled that before, ate it, got sick, maybe won't try again) but it's such a lovely way to recall things. I maintain a small library of the perfumes I wore at different life times so I can remember.

@jsinsheim Yes! The amygdala has a strong connection to both our olfactory center & memory which is why a scent can trigger an instantaneous recall of an event. Our senses can be grounding, an anchor into the present moment but also a great muse for story via journal prompts.

I was reading a manuscript last night that featured a very vivid scent of roses. 🌹 Now, out in the world, there’s a rose scent in the air—and I thought immediately of her work. They talk about scent as memory—do we think it could work this way too?

Thrilled to talk with client Ted Fox on his Working Drafts podcast about author-agent creative collaboration, showing up for your life and work, and how escapist television lead to a serious book project: thetedfox.com/podcast 📚✏️☕

@GSBrouwer Absolutely! I'm picturing someone putting the passage under a microscope, zooming all the way in, and finding tiny moving organisms between the letters. Maybe we'll find the mitochondria that's the powerhouse of the sentence, too.

@GSBrouwer You are! The funny thing is, I could tell from the first line it wasn't going to be for a job. I like it how there are micro hints, sometimes, and we can't place them, but they're there.
