Mikala Writes Fantasy is ✨ querying ✨

My Ex: The Chosen One Sometimes love doesn't conquer all, and you still have to save the world with your "hero" ex and his perfectly floppy brown hair. Dammit... #AgentGuide #A #F #RomCom

As fantasy writers, when you need to name something, do we all just hit random keys and see what we can build from the result?

Editing Ex today and just came across the infamous [ ] empty brackets. Guess past me didn't want to write out the ritual used in this scene lol.

@dsw_us I ordered shoes online and this is how they showed up!! It’s not even the right shoes.

The United States Postal Service, USPS, doesn’t “lose” money. It costs money. It’s a public service. Don’t fall for the privatization propaganda.

@saraduranauthor OMG congratulations!!

I’m so happy to share both my QueryTracker success interview and some stats from my querying journey! The transparency of other authors helped me so much while #querying, so I’m excited to pay it forward ☺️ 🔗 in replies!

@Airilaya I'm glad to know it's working! Also, you should read Assistant to the Villain. It's based off a series of TikTok skits lol

@mnoe Well played! 🫶

@Airilaya Thank you!! I’m trying to stick with a set of colors and fonts to make it cohesive across posts. lol

@mnoe May I just say, I love your branding, and love the concept!! Rooting for you! 🫶 I need to read Assistant to the Villain... keep hearing about it.

@Airilaya She cross-posts. You might be able to find her on instagram or YouTube.

@mnoe Nice! I don't have a tiktok but now I have several reasons to get one. Haha

Alright writers / readers. What do you think HR actually DOES? 📋✨ Creative comments welcome. Lol #writingcommunity #amquerying

@Airilaya Yeah! Her username is aunt__bri. That’s a double underscore.

@mnoe Like human resources hr?? So curious!

@maddieronn You can save them on QueryTracker, if they use it.

Anyone else’s phone filled with screenshots of agent mswls so you can remember to query them? 💀 I have like 50+ and my storage keeps yelling at me #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

@Airilaya lol - for real though, there's a lady on TikTok that has entirely changed my mind about HR through her skits.

@mnoe Well played lol 😜

I've had a cold all week so now I'm running behind schedule, but I finally felt well enough to edit a chapter today. What's a fantasy without a troll encounter (this one reads legal code while sunning)!

🎶I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And you're the hero flying around, saving face And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?🎶 My Ex: The Chosen One Her ex dumped her to save the world. He failed. Now the prophecy wants her instead. #SwiftiePitch #A #F

@demimschwartz Got any first 50 pages availability? lol

Hi #amquerying authors! I have limited availability this week and next week for query letter critiques through Amethyst Ink. They’re only $25. If you want one, feel free to dm me or send me an email through my Amethyst Ink page on my website. 💜💎

@authorBBLorik @MarciMarquez06 These are fantastic!! You can tell the vibe of your story immediately.

Getting rejected for character art commissions is a whole other level of discouragement 😅 Anyway, so I made my own. Don’t laugh, I haven’t drawn in ages, and I’ve always struggled with faces.

@ArienSkyeWrites She did work for @myleejmiller too! It's how I found her.

@mnoe Oh wow I love this!

I’m itching for some more character art. Who are your recommendations? I’d love to see the art you commissioned in the comments too!
