Wildly pleased with the traction on my first Substack post—it clearly hit a nerve.
Follow-up is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28: YOU DON'T NEED MORE CHEERLEADERS. It’s a reflective look at how to actually cultivate a support system that improves your craft, rather than just inflating your ego.

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie” YA Romantic Fantasy 119k Words Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water and gold flower outlines.
Blurb: One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy… Ryn is a small-town thief with a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes. Five for Silver, Six for Gold… Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them. Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told. The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it.
Tropes: Thief x Assassin Mental Health Rep Identity vs Duty Class Difference Forced Proximity Secret Code Morally Gray Women’s Wrongs Unlikely Allies to Lovers Text is on a piece of parchment paper. Besides the text are two headshot drawings: one of a girl with brown hair pulled back by braids, and the other of a black-haired boy with a worried expression. Behind the parchment paper are ocean waters with gold flower outlines.
The Atmosphere: There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

Reasons to love To Ruin the Sky
ELECTRIC SEXUAL TENSION. Excerpt reads: There's a possessiveness in how he touches me and I wish I hated it. "How would you punish me?" I breathe out, unable to control my impulses. Fingers touch my zip as he slowly slips it down, millimetre by millimetre. My body is completely in his thrall, unable to decipher the beat of my heart from the thump of the speaker's bass.
