After an unforeseen turn of events, I am back in the query trenches! ARTWALKER is a speculative romance with folk horror elements. Agents! If you’d like to see this in your query box, please reach out! I would love to find this project with editor interest & award a new home! #amquerying

@charmstrong.bsky.social and I are tackling a fun topic this week on our Substacks.... THE STATE OF TRAD PUB. There's receipts & cited sources about the deals & trends I'm noticing as an author. Maybe a new avenue I'm considering.... Mine publishes tomorrow morning! <3 #writingcommunity

That one time I wrote a really unserious book that started as a complete joke to pitch to my agent, and then everyone loved it and said it was my best yet and I had a whole identity crisis..... You can read it #writingcommunity : open.substack.com/pub/kellylbe...

Thank you SO SO SO SO much for all the support of my silly little bonnie and clyde romcom yesterday for #questpit! I love this book and these characters so much, and it's so encouraging to see others love it, too. Next step, it heads to @charmstrong.bsky.social , and then to the desks of #editors!

#litagents, I’m currently querying two novels: 🫀 95k gothic horror (left pitch) 🌊 112k upmarket historical (right pitch) If you love dark, twisty, genre-blending novels in the vein of Emilia Hart and Bridget Collins, let’s talk. 👀 #questpit #A #HF #Q
Pitch: When a lonely stained-glass artist is invited to a crumbling country estate to restore a set of windows depicting the haunting story of Tristram and Isolde, he must reassemble the fractured pieces of his memory before a malevolent creeper destroys his last chance at love.Pitch: When a storm wrecks his island's passenger steamer, sparing only a girl believed to be one of the monstrous Finfolk, a grieving musician must uncover who she really is before more of his people die.

A manic pixie dream girl (also Dolly Parton wannabe) walks into a bank & robs it...except her straight-laced ex-boyfriend is the bank teller. Oopsie! She kidnaps him & forces him along her hare-brained escape. What could go wrong? (a pet possum) #questpit #editors talk 2 @charmstrong.bsky.social

If you're interested in the "UNHINGED ROMANCE WITH A PET POSSUM" book-- Meet Stella, a disaster in bedazzled cowboy boots, & Max, her straight-laced ex who never got over her despite her uhinged revelry (PS: the pet possum is named Franklin, he rides in a backpack, & he smells like popcorn).

My agent @charmstrong.bsky.social: I pitched your book to an editor today. Your work in progress. Me: oh? Her: yeah. I couldn’t remember the title you told me, so I just told her it was unhinged and had a pet possum. She was into it. #booksky #romancewriters

if any #editors are looking: NRTMN is a women's fiction novel with a heavy romance plotline about a tortured artist called home to care for her sick grandmother, and face the demons of her past (aka the man who broke her heart, and the best friend who abandoned her)
