Image reads "Congratulations! K. Ancrum’s Icarus has won the 2025 Lambda Literary Award in the LGBTQ+ Young Adult category." and features the book ICARUS by K. Ancrum. The cover art is an etching of a the bottom half of a carved bust with a white figure falling from the sky above it. The P.S. Literary Agency appears at bottom.

Your messages are off, unfortunately, do you have a place where can I send my address?

In honor of my lil Lammy Nomination, I’m selling 20 signed copies of Icarus ✨HARDCOVER✨ version!

If you read it audiobook style and have been thinking about getting a physical copy, now’s a great opportunity!

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much! I’ll message you in a bit.

She's an absolute angel to work with and also super funny and working with her on your books is always so much fun!

She also does query letters, which really helps! If you're in a place where your book is just about query ready, now is a great time to get started with FERAL GIRL BOOKS.

FERAL GIRL BOOKS is having a SALE!

My wonderful previous agent Amy Tipton's home flooded and she needs a bit of a marketing boost!

She's also the person who helped me edit THE WICKER KING and sold it with me, so please treat her sweet!

Lee Jae-myung going beast mode

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Cleaning out my stock! I have 15 signed copies of Icarus ✨PAPERBACK✨ version!

It's much lighter than the hardcover and honestly, I'm kind of a sucker for paperback. Ships with a little treat!

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

Of course, I'll be joining forces with @bydonmartin.bsky.social author of the upcoming witchy wonder Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire. A gorgeous small town/big world fantasy that I can't wait for everyone to read later this summer!!
