Hi #litagents! Posting a cute little #agentsguide to motivate me to finish my current #wip, a twisted little Appalachian Thriller from my 9th generation Appalachian heart.

Got my query letter ready to go on this little beauty! See you in the trenches soon, #writingcommunity

[Sarah Wilson Gregory @Sarahwgregory]

@TommyDeanWriter I recently quiered an Appalachian thriller / mystery to Hailey at your agency. Maybe she’ll send it your way if she thinks it’d be a good fit. 🤞

I need book recommendations that take place in New Orleans. Books that really hone in on a sense of place of NOLA. I’m talking about books that make you FEEL like you’re there. Modern time period preferred.

Highly recommend Amanda! She will help make your pages shine. Her feedback gave me the encouragement to keep pushing in an industry ripe with rejection.

I had a dream last night (nightmare?) that instead of sending me a query rejection, an agent called me to personally tell me how much my manuscript sucked.

So, yeah. Querying is so fun. 🫠

Ah, yes. The “maybe” pile. Been 49 days and counting…manifesting this “maybe” to turn into something more… 🙏 #writingcommunity #amquerying

@evyharl Me me me ! Super interested 😊

@weaverliterary I’m a casual follower but the way I stopped scrolling immediately to gasp at this 😲. I’m so happy that fantasy / romantasy covers are trending with character based covers again! Simply STUNNING 🔥

[Sarah Wilson Gregory @Sarahwgregory]

Thanks, #SmallPitch 🥹I never queried this project. I LOVE it, but I was insecure about the market for it. Your pitch event shows that the market might just be HUNGRY for it (multiple requests!). What a confidence boost! Writers, please don’t self reject! Lesson learned for me.🥰

[Sarah Wilson Gregory @Sarahwgregory]

@pippawestauthor I let my critique group my first drafts as I write. Same for beta readers. 😅 I generally write very clean rough drafts. Focus for me is plot and story. But if someone wants to read from start to finish, I’ll wait until draft 2 at least just to make sure the foundation is solid.

[Sarah Wilson Gregory @Sarahwgregory]

@Small_Pitch Woke up to 4 requests 😨 that was an unexpected surprise !

[Sarah Wilson Gregory @Sarahwgregory]

@noreeswrites Ooh I see! Thanks! PS, your query was so well done. So clear and vivid! I’m not shocked at all it landed you an agent 🥰 thanks for sharing! Manifesting that for myself in 2025/26 🙂

[Sarah Wilson Gregory @Sarahwgregory]

Will an editor pick this up so I can read it asap please?! I NEED this on my shelf 😍

A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become.
