Natalie G 🐍is querying🐍

So far i’ve enjoyed writing him trying to impress her with his artistic plating & finding something to clean near her whenever she’s in the kitchen 🥹 so far its been a lot sweeter than i had intended! Not quite as on-the-nose spicy. Gotta let all these flavors get to know each other in the pot 🤣

Haven’t done a #WIPSnips with my new project yet! Here’s our melodramatic fmc dreaming up a sympathetic breakup story for an interview.. #WritingCommunity #Writesky #WritingPrompts

While Snake Country awaits review in agent inboxes, I’m busy with a juicy new project 🤭spicy contemporary romance set in a restaurant kitchen, inspired by my time in the industry. i love this feeling when the ball starts rolling and you’re just overwhelmed with ideas 🤩✍️ #amwriting #amquerying

Gotcha. Thanks, Michelle!

I see contemporary romance defined as romance that takes place 1945-now. But on the shelves, i see a something much more specific. ie dual pov,present tense, super tight premise, conversational narration style. is this what publishers are looking for in contemp romance? Or is this a sub-subgenre?

I recently got a personalized rejection on a full and im letting that feedback sink in before driving myself crazy implementing it. Also waiting on a couple more replies AND playing with a new WIP 💡
We had company all week who just left and now kids and i are just trying to remember how to exist 😅

love this interpretation for balance ♎️

Having fulls out is wild, because what do you mean i cant look over their shoulders and read along with them?! 😭😭 #amquerying #writingcommunity

Great weekend at the New England Writer’s Workshop!! To my fellow #amquerying authors, If you ever get a chance to do the “writer’s got talent” style first page critique - do it. so enlightening. Mine didn’t get picked for critique but listening to the feedback on others was worth it in itself

Didn't recognize the man in the mirror
Then I laughed and I said
"Oh silly me, that's just me"”

Its hard to shift your brain between entire worlds!! 😅

I’m buying this book when it comes out

Godspeed my friend🫡

I got my first querytracker reply today! It was a form rejection, but after three weeks, I’m kinda glad i have proof someone looked at it 😂 and yes, I know, three weeks is not a long time in publishing 🥲 #amquerying shout out to the #litagents out there, i know ur inboxes runneth over 🙏

Thank you! C&G is my first, my one true love, my baby. Needs another draft or two before querying, which I was about to complete when I had the freaky ass dream that inspired 🐍 country … and you know how that goes 🤣

I know i think i followed you a million years ago bc you had mentioned MLJ on your moodboard too 😂
