Thank you. I really appreciate that.

Damn, there’s so much worse going on in the world, and so many people are in way worse situations I feel guilty even posting about my own feelings. 😔

Thanks, man. I really appreciate that.

There are so many highs and lows in agenting. Some days you get news that makes you so happy. Other times things happen that make you so incredibly sad. I’m hoping for some good news this week, because I take the sad things super hard.

And one of the best soundtracks

I’ll be here. 👀

Ooh, this is a great list!

My inbox is now back at zero. I’d love to see some amazing queries that fit what I’m looking for!

This is a @kmlwrites.bsky.social appreciation post. Kristen is one of my absolute best friends in the world, and her award-winning Roxane Weary mystery series is nothing short of outstanding. If you haven’t read them yet, you need to fix that right away. www.kristenlepionka.com/books

The kids are alright.

Hey, everyone. I’m opening to queries on a very limited basis using the link below. I’ve narrowed my genres during this time to Adult Crime/Mystery, Adult Fantasy & Sci-fi, and YA Fantasy & Sci-fi from BIPOC, Asian/AAPI, Latinx, SWANA, and LGBTQIA+ writers only.

Exactly what I was thinking! Get those mistake sales! Haha!

AI could never.

I don’t know a single agent or editor who does this, actually.

On a more positive note, I do think most agents and editors feel this way too. There are a lot of truly wonderful people in this industry. Don’t let any of this nonsense keep you from following your path! You got this! Now go write your synopsis.

I should also note that I do not use AI as a writer either. I have copilot disabled in Word and do not use ChatGPT. All of this should honestly go without saying, but here we are. 🙃

Hey y’all. As an agent, I do not use AI at any point in my process with clients or querying authors, nor would I ever feed someone’s work into AI for any reason whatsoever. And if I learned of an editor doing this, I would not submit to that editor.

The Oz stories in this anthology are absolutely stunning. I’m so fortunate to be co-editing this incredible group of writers, and I keep hoping to see that it’s fully funded!
