I'm so happy to be working with @jaclynthewriter! 😊 Her Spanish/English wordplay is so clever! Had me giggling on the couch, interrupting my husband's work to tell him all her jokes. Her PBs are funny and sweet and oh so original - I can't wait to share them

Who else will be participating 🙋🏽‍♀️

Looking to toss a story or two into the ring for the third year. I’m super selective with the agents I submit to. I always research to make sure we will be a good fit 🤝

It’s a marathon, and I’m not looking to sprint 😅

Back to the grind this week: work meetings, dissertation developments, travel ball sign-ups…

But my brain wants to stay in summer mode so I can keep searching for a tortilla recipe that makes my heart sing!

I remember signing up for a Twitter account as part of an assignment in grad school. Pretty cool that was 15 years ago! #MyXAnniversary

My #PBParty update 🥳

I had 10 requests to send my full MS for INCOGNITO BURRITO ❤️ I researched all 10 and submitted to 5 of the interested agents. 1 very kindly passed on representation, so that leaves 4 possibilities still 😎

This has been an amazing experience!

[Jaclyn Vásquez @jaclynthewriter]

@LLPnLEP_Memoir I appreciate the vibes! 👍🏽✌🏽

[Jaclyn Vásquez @jaclynthewriter]

@TheMonaAndrei Thank you! And also, you’re right. It IS a milestone! Still getting used to owning it :) I’m getting better as I continue on this journey 😅
