@AWritersLifeTBC That dude done lost his mind.

[Matthew Valdez, Megibow Literary @MLA_Matthew]

I will not respond to trolls. Must stay professional. They just want attention. Leave it alone, Matthew.

[Matthew Valdez, Megibow Literary @MLA_Matthew]

@ChrisBas82 Yep!

@realglisrivera I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to last another month. This year was BRUTALLL

[Matthew Valdez, Megibow Literary @MLA_Matthew]

First day of summer for me, school is officially out! I really appreciate everyone’s patience as I juggled everything this year. I’m so excited to dig in to my queries and requested materials. Things will start moving very fast, so if you are waiting it shouldn’t be too long!

[Matthew Valdez, Megibow Literary @MLA_Matthew]

@Andrea_H_Writes You can absolutely send me an email to withdraw stating this as your reason! What a great reason to do so (and congrats!).

[Matthew Valdez, Megibow Literary @MLA_Matthew]

@Amandabadillo25 @samcrouchwrites HOW EXCITING AND UNEXPECTED! Welcome to the Megibow Family!!

[Ciara Smith @ciarasmithagent]

Someone is impersonating me via email. My official email is [email protected]. if it's not from that or QT, it's probably not me. If you have any concerns don't hesitate to reach out here or the above email. Stay safe out there.

[Renee Runge (CLOSED to queries) @rrreadsbooks]

It’s come to my attention that someone is impersonating me with a fake email address, asking authors to submit work. While I’m flattered that someone thinks I’m important enough to impersonate, please do not reply to any email address that doesn’t match the Spencerhill website!

[Matthew Valdez, Megibow Literary @MLA_Matthew]

Bidding link is in my Link Tree!
