So excited to share that @thatdarnchat is writing a book and that said book will change your life and that I somehow get to be a part of it. Could not be more proud! @maya784 @DuttonBooks

@DAUM4Congress Should be open. There was a QM issue a few days ago, maybe that was it?

[Joanna MacKenzie @joannamackenzie]

Just a quick note to say I'm closing to queries for the rest of the year - to catch up and to preserve my mental health. Can't wait to hear from all of you incredible #amwriting and #amquerying humans in 2023. Keep writing and take care.

[Joanna MacKenzie @joannamackenzie]

@joannamackenzie Are you reopening for queries soon?

[Jamie Ford @JamieFord]

Neither of my parents graduated from high school. They worked their asses off so their weird kid could pursue his crazy dreams. They never wavered, always pushing me to be an artist and a writer. (They sent me to poetry camp!) This is for them.

[Joanna MacKenzie @joannamackenzie]
