.@scalzi invited me to discuss a BIG IDEA at the center of my book (#BURROWED) and I talked about my kid stealing French fries. Thanks, John! #2023Debuts #AuthorsOfTwitter #BookTwitter #BookPosse @HerringAli https://t.co/EX2aD90NBI

Annual holiday reminder: If you get an agent offer around the holidays, wait to ask for answers until after! This is vacation & family time for us. Many of us will politely step aside, so you may limit your options/offers. I usually recommend waiting until at least 1/20! …

Amazing news for a toddler rendered deaf due to a genetic disorder: a treatment delivered via a virus with a fix, and the child can now hear. What a breakthrough! https://t.co/nbibgOC8fO

Enough people said, "Now you tell me you need stakes in my query's pitch" that I was HORRIBLY worried people don't understand the basic elements of story! So here's a new blog post on: "Back to Basics: Elements of Story and the High-Concept Pitch" https://t.co/LIIpoJUups

This month marks the one-year book birthday for BURROWED, my debut novel, and it's for sale right now for $.99 on kindle! https://t.co/v8VF2vJnmx #Burrowed #Dystopian #SciFi #YACrossover

I’m seeing lots of stuff I don’t rep in kidlit in my queries.

Pls note when it comes to kid’s books, I DO NOT rep:
🚫 picture books
🚫 books for young kids (0-8 years)
🚫 no low-word-count kid lit
🚫 graphic novels

I DO represent:
✅ middle grade, sweet spot 40-68k
✅ YA
