Hi, I'm Kelli. I write gothic maritime fantasy with sea-magic, romance, and shipboard drama. Currently querying my debut, The Shantyman & the Sea. Here for the salt, the music, and the words. ⚓️🌊✨ #amquerying #amwriting

@aelliottmtm Followed and RTed!!!

Hi! I’m currently chomping at the bit for: - a high concept boarding school mg fantasy - a hooky speculative romance - period romance or sports romance If you tag a friend who is writing such things or RT, you can DM me your pitch you use for contests and I’ll critique😊

@WatchfulWizardP This is such a great title.

Seventeen year old Ellie thought her biggest problems were her best friend moving away and the looming chemistry test, until an afternoon at her grandmother’s house led her to discover a smoky speakeasy in 1924 run by her great-great-grandmother Pre-Orders coming soon!

@books4kimberly Currently struggling to keep my shamrock plant alive, but any green-thumbness I sent to you!

In other news, I bought a nectarine tree last weekend and it's STILL alive. 😂 But I haven't planted it in the ground yet - happening this weekend - please send good gardening vibes my way. 😁

And for the lady, perhaps an offer of representation?

@Moatthedisco Thanks for calling them out!

Called this fake agent out and lo and behold blocked! PLEASE DO NOT send any work to this “agent”. Ampersand have confirmed there’s no one by that name at their agency. They do not use gmail addresses either. This is a SCAM.

@kellidwrites Your pitch made me smile. Very cleverly done!

#UnhingedPit #HistFic #f

In 1853, a young shantyman sings aboard a merchant ship. And the sea obeys. Haunted by an unknown past, she follows a stolen map tied to cursed pirates and a dangerous first mate, only to find the truth will cost her the only home she’s ever known. #QuestPit #F #a #hfic

@sarahmadmum Same sort of quiet here. Keep going!!!

So October has been quiet in the trenches for me, query replies have been few and far between but I’m still holding on and concentrating on writing a historical romance. Good luck to all in the trenches and those who are writing, I wish you strength and inspiration. #amQuerying
