SIX MINUTES is my 85k dual-POV new adult romance that blends the high-stakes athletic themes of Bal Khabra's Revolve, if it were set in the world of Off Campus (2026), and will appeal to readers who love the mental health topics in Peyton Corinne's Unsteady ⛸️🏒 #QuestPit #Q #NA #R

Want to make your manuscript shorter? Look for the word “is”- “Is going” = “Goes” or “went” Now do that 500 times.

Just a gentle reminder that you need a finished manuscript to query… and a query letter, a separate 10 pages, 3 ch, first 50, a log line, a market, and comps.

Why do our writer expectations get so ridiculous at the holidays? It’s like: I have seventy five more things to do than normal and the kids are out of school but I’ll definitely finish this draft before new years no problem.

You can’t control things like going on submission or how many people buy your books. But you can control how much you write and how much effort you put into the writing community. Those gains might not be quantitative, but they’re so rewarding.
