Y'all. My debut novel, THESE VILE HEARTS, (and sequel!) is being published by @PutnamBooks of @PenguinBooks in Summer 2026. 🥹 Definitely made a deal with a dryad to land my editor Daphne Durham and my lovely agents @petejknapp and @StutiTelidevara ✨ What absolute rockstars.

@ehsleeta Yessss we love revisions 🙏

Being an overwriter is such a wild experience because when you're drafting, everything you write seems *absolutely necessary* but then you start revisions and stumble upon entire chapters you wrote that can be easily summed up in a single sentence
