@adropofmagick This is STUNNING

Art reveal for my new YA cozy fantasy that blends the magical prose & romance of Once Upon A Broken Heart with a snug town that'll remind you of Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow.

Meet Atticus & Dawn 🖤 He's a squire training to become a knight ⚔️ She's the ghost haunting his manor 👻

REVISION IS ALMOST DONE

[Brook ✨is REVISING✨ @brfontenot]

Turns out, sometimes all you needed was to add a POV

As I’m working on revisions, it’s encouraging to see the hard part of rewriting sections all come together to make the book even better. I’m incredibly excited for this book and I can’t wait to share it with agents soon 🤩#writingcommunity #author #amwriting #amquerying

@CassieWWrites SO EXCITED CASSIE ITS GONNA BE GREAT

[Brook ✨is REVISING✨ @brfontenot]

@Kestrel_Bates Yes it was my first ever! I’m currently revising my second and will hopefully have better luck with that one!

[Brook ✨is REVISING✨ @brfontenot]

I think book 1 is officially dead. I knew it was going to happen with the current trends and market, but it’s still sad to see it go #amquerying

[Brook ✨is REVISING✨ @brfontenot]

@autumn_inkblood That’s what I’m thinking. I had two different agents tell me that they loved my voice but don’t think they can sell it currently. I’m working on revisions for my 2nd book right now which I think has a better chance of being a debut so fingers crossed!

@samcrouchwrites THIS HAS ME HOOKED

[Brook ✨is REVISING✨ @brfontenot]

5 things you will find in all my books:
- anxiety rep
- belonging as a theme
- some sort of Greek mythology reference
- a bird as a metaphor
- a character with freckles (gotta represent!)

Writers, what are your 5 things? I want to know!

Taking a break from writing to do some character art (and yes I have my own drawing in the corner as a reference, what about it? can’t a girl struggle with consistency in peace?) #writingcommunity #fantasywriter #characterart #amwriting

[Brook ✨is REVISING✨ @brfontenot]

One of two major revisions in my novel is done! Ready to continue and get to that second one. Beta readers are leaving such kind comments, I’m feeling pumped! #writingcommunity #author #fantasyauthor #amwriting
