I mentioned hoping to open to queries again in September, but I got over 600 this round and have also been swamped getting client manuscripts ready to go on submission. So, realistically, I will have to bump out to October. I apologize to anyone waiting on me. I am doing my best to read everything.

12yo #STEM genius Ada Lovelace hides prohibited poetry, & dreams of flight to freedom. Both risk the volitile connection with mom. She must persuade Lady Byron STEM & dreams are the future, or lose the tenuous connection completely. STARFISH X ENOLA HOLMES #MG #AG #HF #PO #NIV #PosterPit #KidLit
Ada Figures: a verse novel by Christiana Doucette
Tag line: If magic is science undiscovered, then someday I'll be an enchantress.

A portrait of young Ada Byron Lovelace is flanked by her parents, mad bad and dangerous to know Lord Byron the poet, and his ex wife the mathmatical genius Annabelle Milbanks Byron. Behind Ada is a leather bound folio with a key, a white pawn, a black rook, and a white persian cat (her kitten Miss Puff). The wings she's working to build halo her. The Background is an old map of the Bifrons area where Ada Lovelace was confined away from most society. The title is framed by a blackboard with steampunk-esque gears.

The Pitch!
It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings…  How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

Writers: If you're looking for craft book recs, we've got you. Take a look at these picks from @laneheymont.bsky.social @annmrose.bsky.social @socalledyalife.bsky.social @sarahnfisk.bsky.social and @kellydhouse.bsky.social #writinglife #writingtips #bookrecs #writingcommunity
Lane and Ann Recommend Poetry 
Pick your favorite! 
Why poetry? 
For those who struggle with word choice, poetry is a great teacher. Poets condense grand concepts, actions, and emotions to their core. By reading poetry, you can study how few words you need to convey a message. Natascha recommends Story Genius by Lisa Cron 
Why this Book? 
Story Genius is a great craft book overall, but Natascha particularly points writers to the sections on the “Emotional Third Rail.” It’s a craft element Natascha notes is often missing in manuscripts, and Story Genius explains it well! Sarah Recommends The Emotional Thesaurus by Angela Ackerman & Bacca Puglist 
Why This Book? 
Having difficulty putting emotions on the page? Sarah says The Emotional Thesaurus is a handy tool for writers who struggle to “show, not tell.” Kelly Recommends The Art of Fiction by John Gardner 
For Kelly, The Art of Fiction remains the best text for explaining profluence, or the way character and plot casually intersect to organically move a story forward.
