when your books are accused of "furthering the liberal agenda" because they *checks notes* feature flawed, morally gray women who struggle living in the prescribed boxes society has forced upon them. yes, thanks for noticing! 🥰

My wonderful client Nicole is officially out on sub! If any editors are looking for a hilarious Christmas book to add to their list, this one may be for you! Get ready to guide the sleigh with silly Comet who is tired of playing second fiddle to the shiny nosed favorite, Rudolph. 🎄 #onsub

In the left bottom corner there is a cluster of golden stars and in the right corner there are strings of red and green Christmas lights.

I've been a fan of A.G Slatter for years; her Sourdough universe is sublime, and I love the way she can twist words that make me cry. So to receive a blurb from THE A.G Slatter has made my week, and it's only Monday! If you love gothic fantasy check out Angela's new release Crimson Road!

I say this as both an agent and author, save your money and don't hire somebody to query agents on your behalf. A lot of times, the submission guidelines are not followed, they send to agents who are closed OR don't rep in your genre. The emails (at least that I have received) are written by those
