I’m a mentor again for WriteHive! I had so much fun with last year’s mentee and I’m excited to find another amazing manuscript this year. Swipe for my #mswl and to view important dates. The link in my bio will take you to all mentors ✨🐝📚 #HiveMentor

My latest vision: The Agent Rehoming Trust™
“Matching under-loved agents with kind, patient authors who promise not to email twice in one day.” Because every agent deserves a loving author and every author deserves an agent who doesn’t vanish mid-submission. Let's make it happen! #amquerying #mglit

I've just entered a short story to this for the first time ever. Probably the best thing I've ever written. Fingers crossed they like it, even if it doesn't get anywhere.

I got it totally wrong! 🤣

Received my e-mail this afternoon. Such helpful and detailed feedback from @kelleyeditorial.bsky.social , which will absolutely help in the future. I see a revision of The Parent Stealers coming on. Huge thanks to Hannah and to the Organisers of #RevPit and #10Queries.

I didn't even count words on mine, so could easily have been mine. I think mine was by Ash P.

Lovely to see you had helpful feedback, I think?

I'm a little bit sad you didn't critique mine, just for the level of enthusiasm you showed!🥰

Who was yours by? I think I've narrowed mine down to 2!

This week, I've started sending Lumi (early MG) out to agents. It's a cosy detective mystery in a typical English village, starring 2 ND MCs, including one who lives in a treehouse with a cockatoo and a talking umbrella. Keep everything crossed! #mg #amquerying #kidlit #

🤣 I just can't tell any more! I did a brilliant Pitching course, but I put this in before the course!

Could be mine? I hoped mine had intrigue, but sometimes we're too close to our stories, which is why #revpit is so useful! 🥰

I'd love for this to be mine, but Imposter Syndrome says no!

Waiting for my #revpit query to show. The bad news is it's 9pm in the UK, so I won't find out till tomorrow! Learning loads from all the pitch critiques though, so thanks to all the editors for their hard work. #10Queries

Thank you! I've just found one under Following, not Teasers.

Lucky you! Haven't worked out any that might be mine and I'm not sure I've followed everyone. Are we up to the 4th editor now? #revpit

I would so love this to be mine! 🤣

Happy Birthday for yesterday. I'm now 4 months into a 2-3 year target of trying to get published. Fingers crossed for all of us today in #RevPit #10queries !

It's terrible, isn't it? I've even written something new, just to keep the hope alive!

Top 10 things we need to know about agents? How to stalk agents without them calling the police? Or just lots of pics of cats being cute, if 1 and 2 aren't your bag!🤣

Thank you, Rebecca. That's really kind of you. I've just sent off my first 2 queries for this one, so we'll see if anyone agrees! 😘

Every now and then, a line lands that reminds me why I write. This one’s from an unpublished children’s story I’ve been working on and I hope one day it finds its way to readers. ##amquerying #disabledwriters #MGlit #kidlit

Amazing news! Huge congrats to the newly-agented author! 🥰🥰🥰

Very, very excited. Or nervous. Depending on the precise moment you ask me! 🤣

Absolutely buzzing! Had a great Zoom course today with CBC on Pitching Your Novel. Feeling a lot more confident about querying agents about Lumi after input from Lauren Pearson & Catriona Paget. Thanks to everyone at CBC for a positive, inspiring course!

Thank you! I'm still learning all the rules, so it's kind of you to put me out of my misery.

Thank you so much! I’m really looking forward to it and excited to send Lumi and the Manor Tree Mystery out into the world this week.

That’s great to know, thank you! I’ve just wrapped final edits on my MG cosy mystery and will be sending queries later this week. Curtis is now officially on my list!
