Currently querying a YA contemporary novel with mystery, crushes, and crime. OVER THE LINE is set on a rural peninsula where lobstering is the norm, and drama comes with the territory. #writerslift #ShamelessSelfPromoFRIDAY #writingcommunity #AmQuerying #YAlit

This article gave me the push I needed this morning! "If you find yourself stalling on an action—any action—because you’re waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay, I see you." "It’s sneaky, this propensity to outsource permission." #writingcommunity #writesky www.tiffanyhawk.com/blog/permiss...

Thanks Adam! I'm really proud of the entire setting I crafted for this book: a rural peninsula town surrounded by islands. The agent mentioned being drawn in by the setting, so that is something!

A lobster boat fire sparks mayhem in the fishing community putting the notorious Teel family under scrutiny once again, yet Jules Thatcher is drawn to them and to solving a mystery that forces her into danger. #amquerying #YAlit #YAmystery #writingcommunity #writesky

Hi! Is this for real? I would love a boost but idk if I make the cut? I'm an aspiring YA author currently querying my manuscript. I'm hoping to meet writer friends and attract the attention of potential agents 😊 Thank you for your kindness!

Question! For a YA contemporary novel, what's an acceptable word count range? Stressing a bit about cutting down mine 😅

Charlie gains power through popularity and fear. He comes from a prominent lobstering family whose name is respected in town. However, he uses this to manipulate his friends, coercing them into all sorts of delinquency. #writinglifemonthly #writingcommunity #WritingPrompts

Yes, sometimes I need that too! One author told me that they write to the Grateful Dead and I can't imagine writing and listening to lyrics. I would just get sucked into the lyrics. I like instrumentals in the background most of the time.

Moodboard for the YA contemporary novel I'm querying titled OVER THE LINE. It has... 🧡 found family 💪 fierce friendships 💥 sabotage & crime 💔 break-ups/make-ups 😣 teen angst 🙅‍♂️ shattering assumptions #RevPitWaiting #amquerying #writingcommunity #YAlit

So true! It is still one of my favorite books to teach because there ARE still relevant, modern day connections to be made. All of the characters are flawed, making it worth the read and time it takes to analyze.

Just curious, what do you listen to while you're writing? Some people like instrumental playlists or movie scores, others like tunes with lyrics or swear by the classics. What's your thing? 🎶 💃 #writingcommunity #writesky #writerlife

Snippet of my MC from the YA contemporary novel I'm querying! Like many teens, she is full of juxtapositions & I love it! Bold/Hesitant. Trusting/Suspicious. Easygoing/Anxious. #RevPitWaiting #YAlit #amquerying
