I’ve not done an ounce of writing the last 2 months because I’ve been busy buying/selling a house, but now that I’m done with that stressful process, I celebrated by making my #PosterPit pitches! All I can say is my posters… are actually pretty fun?? 😍✨ #writersky #writing

I’ve reached a point where I’m questioning if #tradpub is the right path for me. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love an agent & book deal! But as I notice rising discontent in trad pub, is it worth the strain? Or would I be more satisfied to have my stories published on my own terms? #booksky #querying

Mycah Houser | Author @mhouser14.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Finding out I made Jeni’s #RevPit shortlist AND #10Queries kept me from feeling disillusioned with this manuscript (and writing, if I’m being honest). Time to edit my pages & keep querying so Sing the Dark to Sleep can have her moment in the spotlight! 🎉
