I’ll be closing to queries as we head into the holidays. I look forward to reopening in mid-January. In the meantime, happy holidays everyone!

Just a mini #MSWL since spooky season is in full swing: I would LOVE to see more horror in my inbox! The weirder, the better! I especially enjoy horror that offers a conscious exploration of cultural issues or as a window to identity. Slasher for slasher's sake isn't quite for me, but otherwise HMU!

I've just cracked 40 books read this year (not counting clients' manuscript or full requests I've made from queries). This is the most I've been able to read since undergrad, and it has felt fantastic. At least 30 have been audio. Listening to audiobooks is reading.

The best editing partner. She’s a tough critic, but she takes payment in head scratches.

Love seeing clients’ books out in the wild!

From the outside, the publishing deal can seem like a simple thing—you write the book; you sell the book—but at all turns it’s a highly iterative labor of love. Erin has a unique talent for that iterative process. I’ve been thrilled to see her writing in the world.

Perhaps an extremely hot take: Severance S2 really fumbled the plot in the second half of the season, but especially in the finale. Where are we supposed to go from here?

In case you didn’t know, April 26 is Independent Bookstore Day. This year, as Amazon decides to run steep book sales on the same day, it’s critical to support the shops that are an active and integral part of our communities. #BookSky #IndependentBookstoreDay www.bookweb.org/independent-...

Calm down, Lori. People will think you’re desperate.

Is it a Millennial inevitability that I become obsessed with birding, or do I have a say in the matter?

I came across this pirate queen in Ireland who ruled the seas off the coast and later married a colonel. I keep imagining them as former work rivals turned lovers. And now I need someone to write this book! 😭

There's something viscerally exciting about being so sucked into a manuscript that I lose track of time reading. It makes me feel like I'm back in school, pretending to be sick so I can stay home and read. (If my mother sees this, no you didn't.)

I'm not sure why it took me so long to read "Ninth House", but I thought Bardugo does a great job of building suspense in a story that remains fairly low stakes. No world-ending catastrophe to avert, just a local murder mystery. #BookSky
