Woohoo! Delighted to be partnering with @bookfairyangus.bsky.social on the lit side! Are you an editor looking for a writer for some IP kids or graphic novel stuff? Or, are you an editor that wants to be on our sub list for picture books, graphic novels, or YA fantasy? Hit us up!
Ahhhhh I forgot to tag @sheafontana.bsky.social, but I’m so excited 🤩🤩🤩🥳
So excited to welcome Shea Fontana to my list of authors. Not only does she have an incredible list of published graphic novels, but her picture book manuscripts blew me away! Editors be on the lookout in January 👀, and we already have new graphic novel news to share in 2026📚
This also means I will be staying closed to queries through the end of the year so I can catch up on reading and hopefully add some final authors to my incredible team before January. I’m excited to see all the new queries in 2026.❤️
I am terribly behind on reading requested material but I’ll be catching up over the upcoming holidays. We’ve been navigating some challenges with my son with ASD’s school & I’ve been focused on getting him the support he needs until we have a different school option.
THE KEY TO FALLS TOOTH WOODS-- An adventure-thirsty girl sets out to prove she's over her fear of the woods. Until she learns they're alive.
A young reader's dream:
✨ mystery
✨ adventure
✨ creatures
✨ creepy kids
✨ a monster in the woods

A vampire afraid of the dark? A banshee too shy to speak up? A monstrously fun series!

Grammar tools are fine (1)
@maddcards.bsky.social we do!
I’m open for queries until the 15th and my #MSWL has changed.
I also included some recent reads that I’ve enjoyed this summer so you can get a feel for my reading tastes (I do not represent these titles).
note— I am NOT open to manuscripts written using AI.

#editors This manuscript is so relevant and important given our current political climate. DM me if you want this incredible #ownvoices YA speculative with magical martial arts set in a historical alternate LA where teens fight to free their loved ones in Japanese internment camps, in your inbox. 👀
I’m beyond excited to say I now have not one, but TWO agents!
(If you told me this a month ago, I’d call you cuckoo 😜)
Huge thanks to @bookfairyangus.bsky.social & @ashleedani.bsky.social
Here’s to more stories as fun as 🧀🐶 and all the art my brain can dream up. 💛
I will NOT be opening to queries June 1-15th so I can focus on client work, and prioritize reading the fabulous manuscripts in my request box.
The amazing @_ashleedani will be open and I’ll be reading some of the amazing projects in her query inbox as well. 🤩
I sent additional subs out for two authors today. Sent two new PBs on sub, and finished reading my favorite dinosaur fantasy manuscript. I cannot wait to slide this 🦕 to editors mid June.
I also got to announce a book deal for an author and my agent heart is so very full.
SO excited to finally share the news we’ve been sitting on for months! Huge congrats to
@booksbygemma.bsky.social for her two book deal with Podium for her traditional publishing debut. THE SLEEPING KEY will be available in print, e book, and more 👀 (which we can’t announce yet).
What’s better than one agent? TWO! I am honored to have @briermarilyn.bsky.social as my first client! She is wildly talented and uber creative! @bookfairyangus.bsky.social and I fangirled so hard over her stories and illustration style and we cannot wait to share her work with all of you!
Being grateful & giddy is an understatement 🤩
I officially have the coolest AGENTS! 💚

@ashleedani.bsky.social
and I are SO excited to be co-representing @howlandlit.bsky.social
first author-illustrator for our growing kidlit list! @briermarilyn.bsky.social
sent us the PB of our dreams and we fell in love with Cheese Dog. She is also open to illustration work.
I just signed a vague thing that I cant talk about for 500 years but @weaverliterary has been waiting to arrive so I guess I can wait a little longer…it won’t kill me. I’ll just be sitting on my throne of vague. There are so many hints in this but no one will know. Secrets
Normalize female reproductive health in fiction. Menstruation. Infertility. Endometriosis. Menopause. Abortion. Chronic Illness. PCOS, Contraceptive. Pain (the list could continue). It shouldn’t be such unspoken thing. Reproductive reality should not be unrepresented.
If you see me at the virtual writers day panels or in pitches today—I look like pop eye because my daughter gave me pink eye. I promise I don’t have crazy eyes. Just flagging that ahead of time 🥴
✨ANNOUNCEMENT✨
I am OVER THE MOON to announce I've joined the @HowlandLit team as a Junior Literary Agent! Before starting my own list, I'll be working with the incredible @bookfairyangus.bsky.social supporting #teambookfairy. It's the beginning of a crazy beautiful journey! Stay tuned!
I am SO excited to be mentoring and working with Ashlee!
She will be on #teambookfairy until she starts building her incredible list of authors, and I can’t wait to help with her journey. She’s going to be a fabulous agent!
