I have, through my writing, shocked myself a few times, haha.

I have read 34 of 24 books for the 2024 Reading Challenge! What should I read next? www.goodreads.com/user_challen...

We are lucky enough to have some *exceptional* hand-sellers on staff and we can always tell when one of them has taken a shine to a particular book.

For example, we’ve sold over 700 copies of this book thru pure bookseller power.

There can never be enough SFF books to read haha. But its all so subjective with too many gate keepers. This whole process just sucks for everyone involved (including the poor agents)

I hope you are ready for the flood of submissions coming your way. I will take my query and wait.

Will you be reopening to adult fiction submissions in early 2025? I've been very selective with my querying, and you've been at the top of my list for a while. I am looking forward to the chance to submit!

I'm not trying to be negative; rejection is part of the process—but is it just me, or do many agents who say they want sci-fi rarely represent it? Maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot by not querying agents without clear SFF clients. Thoughts? 🤔✨ #amquerying #amwriting #scifi #booksky

I am still trying to figure out starterpacks in general. This is very much a 2010 vibe of everyone just trying to find their way. Haha

I have absolutely NO idea what #starterpacks I'm included on, but I'm LOVING all the very different and diverse folk following me. Just hope I can deliver enough bookish advice, news, and entertainment to keep everyone engaged.

For the next two weeks, we’re offering ten free ebooks for getting free
