My debut novel, SOULCAST, will be out summer 2027. It’s not only the book of my heart, but the book of my soul and I can’t wait to share it with readers

Something has arrived!!! 📚

OMG! Just realized this is the 1st year in 3 I won't be entering (for good reasons). Apart from all the craft and industry info imparted ever so generously, this event helped give me keep deadlines, set goals, nurture dreams, and live inside of hope! #RevPit #WritingCommunity

My #RevPit meet the editor session is today at 3 pm eastern in the blue realm. If you’re participating in the contest and considering submitting to me, I hope to see you there. #amquerying #writingcommunity 💜💎

Inception day! This creative needs to a new project to obsess over. Time to dig into the notebook and see what grabs me on a fragrant spring day, at the beginning of my birthday month. Wish me luck. Anything could happen! #WritingCommunity #AmWritingFiction #authorlife

There’s something VAGUE-ly interesting about my cake this week… 👀

The author breathes it.
The agent sells it.
The editor sharpens it.
The designer clothes it.
The marketing team introduces it.
And the reader discovers it. ✨📕📚

@BeckyLTuch Bummer. But fast rejections mean you can send it to someone else at the agency that much sooner!
English
Holy cow I spent HOURS preparing a submission package for a particular agent. Really thought he might be a great fit. I was super specific & intentional. Finally sent off query, synopsis, pitch, comps, etc.
Went to have lunch. Came back less than one hour later to a form rejection!
😭😭😭

UNMET is an upmarket speculative novel with book-club appeal about ambition, love, and legacy, asking what we owe our art—and the people we love—when the promise of immortality is suddenly within reach.

I tried my hand at character art this weekend. It was HARD! Meet my protagonist, Suri! My speculative retelling of Great Expectations will soon be on submission! #WritingCommunity #AmAgented #UpMarketSpeculative #Fiction #CharacterArt

Anyone else here a word stealer? You’ll be reading a book and see a word you haven’t thought of in a long time and think: “oh, that’s a pretty word. That’s going somewhere in the manuscript.” 😜

@keely_brice Congrats, Keely. What a great way to start 2026
English
This aged well, and I’m under new representation! I won’t be participating in #JanNoWriMo as planned, as I’ll be spending January preparing UNMET, my speculative retelling of Great Expectations, for submission. What a great way to start the year!

Enthusiastic partial #amquerying request turned into a very enthusiastic full request! No idea where it will lead, but as an author, I'm really happy to be entertaining a reader. Here's to good beginnings!

@ArienSkyeWrites Publishing is a game of delayed gratification, and sometimes it all gushes out at once. Enjoy!

As if the deal announcement wasn’t enough, I WOKE UP TO A SURPRISE RAISE AT WORK?!

@Nattykbrown I don't understand...why would someone do that? Is it an ex?
English
Someone has 1* my unreleased book 😭 (and they definitely haven’t read it as I haven’t sent ARC’s yet). For an author who may not get many reviews this is devastating.

@myleejmiller Congratulations! My agent is the intern coordinator at CMA. She's wonderful!

✨️BIG NEWS✨️
I'm officially an agency intern at Creative Media Literary Agency! I am so beyond excited to begin working with the incredible CMA team and to learn as much as I can about the agenting world. Thank you to CMA for this opportunity 🩵

@LindaMeadWrites Because I received an offer of representation and no longer need them to send out in query packages.

@BWheelerBooks @sarahgallwrites I try to avoid lie vs lay situations at all costs
English
@sarahgallwrites Omg same! Or, technically, I know how to spell it, but my fingers don’t understand how to type it 😂

@amykdebellis Despite your many strengths, your life is not right for our list at this time.

Writers: when you die you will be standing at the pearly gates, and the angel/God/whoever will be saying, "Sooo close! There was so much to admire about your life. Unfortunately, however, it's a no." And you will descend to the fiery chasm
