EARLY MAGIC: YA contemporary fantasy by Jessica Fisher Riches, Dual POV, 93K words

The Pitch: When a cocksure witch loses her magic to a cunning daemon, she hatches a ruthless plan to steal it back -- even if it means betraying a grieving classmate who's only just discovered the world of magic

The Mood: Frenemies to Enemies, Angry Girl Energy, California Vibes, Romantic Debacles, Opening Night Nerves; For readers of: A wicked Magic, Wild is the Witch, Dark and Secret Magic, Practical Magic

Opening LInes: The witches wore black veils in the moonlight. How dramatic. Rowan, waiting alone at the edge of the clearing, attempted to distract herself from the cold by mentally improving the aesthetic of their ceremonial robes. Maybe a subtle charcoal trim and bespoke throat clasps? Still, she wanted one of those veils. Badly.

Someone pinch me because dreams really do come true 🥹 I’m so excited to announce that I’m now represented by Alex Land at Mad Woman Literary Agency. My strange little book filled with kudzu, cults, and rotten girls doing rotten things has found the perfect person to champion it!

HELLS YES!!!!!! What a way to start the year, I hope 2026 brings you so much joy (and a pub deal 😏)

thank you! I'm starting a new job full time in an office (after being fully remote for 3 years) so huge change in routine haha

writing at a coffee shop (alone or with my writing group) is peak happiness for me, also very into knitting during the winter. I need more hobbies outdoors because being in nature brings me so much joy and peace, i've taken up running in the last year so counting that one ahah

YouTube video by KJ's POV a day of working towards my goals, writing and otherwise ☁️ | draft 2 ep. 4

This day was the coziest writing day ever (doesn't hurt that I also ot 3K words added to draft 2 of my cozy fantasy wip lol)

I've been trying to go out to write more, since I tend to be a housecat
