#WIPSnips The word for February 28th is WALK
Naturally there is much "walk"ing in the Triempery. Usually people walk to go somewhere, preferably somewhere of interest. In this bit of a snippet Dorilian walks to a chessboard. Believe it or not, it's magic.

Cover for Ninth House featuring large text and a black snake
Cover for the witchery with 3 young Black women and one white girl holding hands in a circle
For YA & Adult, I’m looking for grounded fantasy. I’m not typically the one for fantasy-fantasy. I love a “our world but weird/witchy/magical/supernatural.” NINTH HOUSE is one of my all-time favorites (I have a tattoo for it) & I also loved working with S.Isabelle on her debut YA, THE WITCHERY #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day! As always, I'm looking for speculative and surreal fiction for adults, and I like it smart, fun, and weird.
Right now, I'm especially in the mood for:
- well-researched historical settings
- classic-mystery structures
- books with a coherent moral/political point of view
Happy #MSWL Day! I’m an acquiring editor for Entangled. For both YA and Adult, I’m actively seeking commercial / high-concept stories. I’m open to most genres as long as there’s a strong romantic element.

'The most gothic and spellbinding slow burner fantasy romance of 2026!' Happy Publication Day! 🎉 💙📚
As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

The Gender Liberation Movement’s Raquel Willis says trans youth “are our future” and that new HHS rules amount to a national ban on gender-affirming care for young people.
