I'm closing for queries next week and will reopen over the summer — then, I will be open for the first full week of every month, unless otherwise noted on my QM page. This thread is still the best snapshot of what I'm looking for. Looking forward to reading your work! #amquerying

When I was a baby agent an editor from penguin sent me a very nice rejection on a sub and I decided to walk away before responding. My cat somehow walks over the keyboard and sends a reply to the editor. It said “ u aSs”. I’ve never mentally recovered. It was 11 years ago.
