Wren is AGENTED 🎉

Still shaking myself because I can’t quite believe I GOT WREN!!!!! Their brilliant book about hunger, desire and grief blew a hole in my heart and so, naturally, I offered right after finishing it, we had a call that same night, and here we are!!!🔥❤️🔥 squeeeeeeeee

I am so so so SO excited to announce that I am now represented by @jennaschmenna.bsky.social at @stormliterary.bsky.social 🎉🤗
Jenna’s passion and care for my dark and horrible story left me blown away and I can’t wait to work with her on all my future projects (and more 11pm jammie calls)!

Literally! It is SO crazy! I can’t believe it.

EEEEEEE Thank you Hayden! 🥹🥹🥹

Noted!

How overhauled/reworked does a MS have to be for resubmission to you? Or do you like to reconsider things you’ve seen before? 🫣

Well, my baby, my second manuscript, is on the shelf. I still have a couple of fulls out and some queries which I will let do their thing. I had a good response this time but it was always *just* missing the mark. I’m now focusing on my third novel. I will not give up!

YIPPEEEEE

🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

EEEEEE

Hehe full request! A long time dream agent too! I'm going to melt.

WEEEEEEEE THANK YOU

After what felt like an eternity of silence and a few rejections, I finally received another full request! Yay! What a fantastic way to kick off the new year! 🥳🥳🥳

It seems like a wonderful year to heal and love ourselves!

Happy New Years from NZ!

It’s short and it’s life changing. I’ve never read a book that made me have so much dread. It’s beautiful feminist dread.

I Who Have Never Known Men 😵

Okay I stopped being a baby and I wrote more lesbians.

I've never cried this much over a submission rejection. My stats are dismal, and it pains me to shelve so many beloved books that no one wants. (Granted it was the sweetest fucking rejection ever!)

Thank you 😩
