I’m excited to share that I’m open to submissions! I’m looking for both nonfiction and fiction. Full #MSWL can be found at my website. Link is in my bio. #writing #WritingCommunity

Amazing to see Mechanize My Hands to War added to the Goodreads top Sci-fi picks of the last 5 years! I’m obviously biased, but it’s definitely worth a read!

I’m just gonna say it. That was a disappointing #GreenDay #SuperBowl performance. They had such a platform to be punk rock and speak out against what’s happening in our country right now but said nothing?

I’ll be closing to queries as we head into the holidays. I look forward to reopening in mid-January. In the meantime, happy holidays everyone!

@xRealxSPonyHill Short story collections can be tricky projects to place, unfortunately. There are times when, even if agents like a project, we won’t make an offer if we don’t know exactly which editors would be interested. We’ll step aside for someone else who will have a better vision.

Just a mini #MSWL since spooky season is in full swing: I would LOVE to see more horror in my inbox! The weirder, the better! I especially enjoy horror that offers a conscious exploration of cultural issues or a window to identity. Slasher for slasher's sake isn't quite for me

@MotownCountry Good question! Exclusively adult

I’ve just cracked 40 books read this year (not counting clients’ manuscripts or full requests from queries). This is the most I’ve been able to read since undergrad, and it has felt fantastic. At least 30 have been audio. Listening to audiobooks is reading.

@megbontra Tell us you’re a horse girl without telling us you’re a horse girl.

@MktgDriveThru He looks like a stern critic in his own right!

The best editing partner. She’s a harsh critic, but she takes payment in head scratches.

@BettyWoodsWrite The best way to be reminded to take breaks!

@MadisonScalera When she’s done with this chapter

[Jared is closed to queries @_jaredhjohnson]

Also signed. We’re at a critical crossroads where we decide how we want to value art and the artists that create it. Storytelling has been one of the most fundamental ways humans create shared connection with each other. It should be protected as such.

@megbontra I was thinking you offer to send them a book, but you do you, Rumpelstiltskin!

[Jared is closed to queries @_jaredhjohnson]

I always love seeing clients’ books out in the wild!

@LilyWzy_ As long as we’re open, it’s fair game! 😁

Feels good to be back
