Someone who churns out hundreds of AI "books" and makes money tricking people into buying them thinking they're getting a novel isn't a writer. They're a scammer.

They're no more an author than a snake oil salesman is a doctor. It's just fundamentally a different thing.

I'm going to win.

User @backintimeag: The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.

In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

My laptop died a torturous death, which means I had to get a new one, and man oh man I forgot what it's like to have a keyboard that works.

A blue graphic with a snowboard and the title it’s all in your head by Sabina Nordqvist with the Kirkus star review “: an extremely slow burn that pays off exponentially

The same slide with a different quote: the sex is super hot. This one features Skyler from my cover sitting at the bottom with her phone and IIH socks.

The same slide with a different quote: a strong debut about characters who meet in the pause between pain and hope. This one has a pill from the cover of my book

The full excerpt: “[A]n extremely slow burn that pays off exponentially. The sex is super hot. Because Skylar and Pike learn early to communicate about pain and limitations, they’re great communicators by the time they do eventually hook up, which makes for some steamy dirty talk. Together they learn that while chronic illness comes with restrictions, their desire for one another does not. A strong debut about characters who meet in the pause between pain and hope.” This one features pike from my cover standing with his cane leaning against the excerpt and a pair of his goggles. At the bottom it says it’s all in your head is out February 10

So honored to share that It’s All In Your Head got a Kirkus Starred Review!! ⭐️

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

We're so glad to be sharing our annual recap to reflect on another year of wonderful client news and accomplishments:

Look how stunning!!

Yes I’m still reading those! So sorry for the delay, I have a lot to get through!

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!

As a native New Jerseyan who used to live in Virginia who now lives in NYC I am EXTRA invested. Don’t let me down!

Please check your kid’s Halloween candy tonight. Apparently requests for a synopsis are being hidden in candy bars.

I will be closed to queries beginning November 1st, 2025 so I can catch up on my backlog of submissions.

If I requested via DVpit or another pitch event, you are still welcome to send and please put "[pitch event] request" in the subject line.

I have graduated from physical therapy!!

This has been my Fall of Small Towns that are Very Proud of their One Thing (complimentary), and I’m here for it.

Today I visited Left Bank Books in St. Louis and I feel like I have met a celebrity. Awesome store!

This photo accompanying a news story about the heist at the Louvre is perfection.

No, alas! Only picture books.

Libra season is upon us. My power is now infinite and fall has finally fallen. Crisp and clear today. Praise Beyoncé.

I'm sure I missed many wonderful #DVpit pitches, so if you think we'd be a good fit, please query me via our submission guidelines on the JGLM website.
