Would it be possible for you to make this a feed as well?

just an FYI, when I say “my writing” there's: the writing I publicly share, then there's the writing I keep in my folders, and then there's the earth's molten core, and below THAT there's the "writing" that exists only in cool scenes I imagine in the format of a movie while I fall asleep every night

Thank you for putting this together! I would love to be added!

Writing prompt: Your character, desperate for a particular medication, arrives at the pharmacy just as the pharmacist is locking up for the night. What do they do? Who is the prescription for and what does it treat?

I didn't write anything significant for 6 years, but now I'm 25k words into a novel. You can always come back to writing

Write what a friend would say about you!

Laurie has never told anyone what happened at home the summer before he ran away. Theo doesn’t talk about what happened to his dad.

The debt is crazy. But maybe worth it?

Happy to discuss this with you if you'd like (I have an MFA in writing and I've published a few short stories)

If you'd like someone to review your application materials, let me know. I have an MFA in Writing from Sarah Lawrence College

Laurie has a reoccurring dream about waking up trapped in his childhood bedroom. Theo has nightmares about finding Laurie's dead body.

Laurie: Joan Jett costume - a leather jacket, chunky belt, combat boots, teased hair, thick eyeliner.
Theo: the most he'll do is wear a sweater with a jack o' lantern on it.

Just found out about this! Is it weird to answer prompts from earlier this month?

One of my main characters is demisexual and one of his friends is aromantic. But neither of them are aware of these terms. #queerprompts

Feel free to query me!

Okay, not a good fit for me then, sorry! What's the premise of your other MS?

As a writer, I totally get that. It's hard to know when you're done!

New client announcement! Annie Broadwin and I will be working together. Her debut novel, a dark academia lesbian romance set in 1960s New England, will be going on submission soon.

Also, care to share the playlist?

This is definitely not standard practice, so some agents might react favorably and others might be put off. I'd say go for it, but take my advice with a grain of salt. In the future, definitely make sure your manuscript is as polished as you can make it before querying!

Awesome, I'm excited to read it! Don't take it as a bad sign if you don't hear from me for a while; I read queries in the order they were received. Do let me know via QueryTracker if another agent requests your full manuscript in the meantime.

It depends - is the romance between the people who are in a fake relationship? Or is the fake relationship a ploy unrelated to the romance plot line?

I look forward to reading it! Don't take it as a bad sign if you don't hear from me for a while; I read queries in the order they were received.

I need to read more books by Indigenous authors. Any recs?

What role does music play in your writing process?
#writing #writingcommunity

In general, yes! But for romances specifically, I'm only looking for stories where the relationship is queer (as opposed to just one of the characters).
