Illustrated poster for my sci-fi horromance novel. Two men in glowing, futuristic space suits stand close together in the foreground, Jack with his arm around Elias. Both wear helmets with cyan-lit panels; one has blond hair and a beard, the other has dark curly hair, glasses, and a mustache. Behind them is a dark, eerie ice cave background with faint glowing eyes hidden in a crevice. Surrounding the scene are vertical film reels of images showing the two men in various intimate moments. Text at the top reads “From the producers of Annihilation and Brokeback Mountain.” Large title text reads “Babel on Callisto,” with the subtitle “A queer sci-fi horromance.” Text at the bottom reads “Rep: Matthew Valdez @ Megibow Literary Agency.”

#Agented &/or #queryingauthors: I’m curious how you’ve navigated scheduling The Call with agents if you have a traditional 8-4 M-F day job, especially if you have a job where you can’t call off easily or take calls during work hours? Were the offering agents flexible?
#amquerying
Large text reads “ELIAS” at the top and “JACK” at the bottom. Left side text (next to Elias): “it’s dr. fermi, actually late twenties entomologist earth’s lead scientist speaks french simp” Left side text (next to Jack): “just jack early thirties ex-farmer earth’s exiled criminal speaks english bigger simp” Right side text (tropes list): “forced proximity strangers-to-reluctant-allies-to-lovers opposites attract slow burn yearning unspoken feelings almost-confessions we shouldn’t do this we should definitely do this hurt/comfort staying vs. leaving duty vs. desire I’d kill for you I’d die for you I’d live for you” Bottom right text: “@saraduran.bsky.social | rep: matthew valdez BABEL ON CALLISTO a queer sci-fi horromance”

Howdy y'all! I'm Spencer. I’m a reformed lit-fic snob, turned romance reader and writer! I’m also the proud owner of far too many cowboy hats. I used to think I’d only write “serious” pieces. Then I found romance in my 30s and realized genre fiction is the best – and I’ve never been happier.
I work in tech, sneaking in as many words on my next writing project between meetings as I can. I mostly write women’s fiction and contemporary romance – and that’s a lot of what I read, too!
I recently signed with the most amazing agent to rep my debut novel! I feel so grateful to have found an agent who connected so deeply with this project and has a vision to help bring it to life – I can’t wait to share it with y’all (hopefully) soon!
Mood board for DEAR MARGOT, a debut project (hopefully!) for author Spencer Barnardo. Features images of Australia, letters, and two women - highlighting the themes of sisterhood, grief, and travel. DEAR MARGOT is an Upmarket contemporary romance-meets-women’s fiction novel with comps including YOU, WITH A VIEW and BOOK LOVERS.
Sad news: I had to withdraw my RevPit submission.
Happy news: I had to withdraw because I signed with an agent!!
Can't wait to take this next step in my journey to publish DEAR MARGOT. Next stop: submission land.

Did I overthink this so much I Googled “how to accept a literary agent’s offer of representation?” Yes, yes I did. BUT there was a Reddit thread for that, so I’m not the only one to have overthought it 😅

I pretended to be confident. Even fooled myself. But I was SHOCKED when I got the email to set up a call. Not saying I thought I’d fail. Just didn’t expect things to be so fast or so amazing 🙃

My second time in the trenches was pretty quick but including when I queried too early… they call them the trenches for a reason 🫣

A nine block mood board showing, in order: blood stained converse shoes, bisexual pride pins, a woman wearing a “sounds gay I’m in” t shirt, a creepy Manor House, a newspaper clipping of the word murder, jigsaw pieces, a woman bending down to give a black cat a stroke, a blood stained key, and close up of several people shoes all standing in a circle

A nine-block moodboard with overall dark, gritty vibes. I wanted her to kiss me on a white background, a girl sitting and staring out an open window at night, a tape player with modern day headphones attached, a hand reaching out of a dark ocean, "this isn't fucking over" against a fiery background, a lighthouse in the middle of a dark ocean, waves at night, a ghost standing in the forest, "I thought we'd have more time" in red font against a white background

Editor’s Guide To: The Things We Run For YA Drama Mystery Projected 90k Words Work in Progress
4/13/1994 Run. What a powerful instinct. Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after. The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.
What we know: -Runaway in Hiding -Fake Identity (turned real identity) -Mental Health Rep -LGBTQIA+ Rep -Found Family -90s Small-Town Nostalgia “We’re in this together now”
6/23/1994 “The Hills have Eyes” There’s a collage of pictures. Picture one is of two people, one sitting on the counter with the other in front of them. Picture two is go a small-town street with buildings to either side. Picture three shows a row of high school desks. Picture four shows a box of police evidence. Picture five shows a group of kids sitting behind an abandoned building. Picture six shows someone flipping off a police car. Picture seven shows a paper with the words “Child Custody Hearing” printed on it. The last picture shows the back of someone’s head, their hood is pulled up and they’re wearing a backpack.
#Editors THE THINGS WE RUN FOR ( #OnSub 2026!)
Emma Bridge ran to find a safe home, but the town she picked is anything but. When she gets wrapped up in a cold case that threatens her siblings, who can she turn to while keeping her secrets safe?
