@vickyweberbooks Ugggghhh! I just missed your window because, well, life. Hope you open again soon!!

Generally speaking, the longer I have your manuscript, the more interested I am. I re-read queries that I love multiple times before requesting a full & I take my time reading fulls to make sure we’re a match! But also, I have a 6 month old and he likes to interrupt me 😂😅

@thejordache I'm so sorry. What a terrible thing to have happen:( You are on my Query list so I'll be keeping an eye out for where you land! Sounds like a lot of places would love to have you. Thanks for speaking out. Authors need to know these kind of things!

I would not characterize my departure from New Leaf as amicable. I was not asked any questions about the current status of my clients’ submissions upon my exit. My contract and deal negotiation files were up to date.

My statement on my departure from New Leaf Literary & Media. Full text follows in the thread below.

@AshleyHearn My agent retired so as soon as I connect with a new one, I will ask to sub to you my messy, chaotic, funny MG!

I keep describing my taste to agents as "weirdo books" but I think it's just mess I'm drawn toward. GIVE ME MORE MESSY CHARACTERS. Your chaotic, confused, careless teens who are flailing around and causing all sorts of problems as they try to get their shit together. #MSWL
