I'm waiting to hear back from a couple more agents, but if nobody is interested, I'll send a new round out quickly. How are my fellow debut authors doing in the query trenches? #Writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #QueryTrenches
Posted my short query in Threads today for a pitch event. Even if the agent isn't interested, it gives me a chance to practice, which never goes to waste.

Email that states Dear Ember: Thank you so much for sending Moon Children. I read all submissions myself and evaluate them very carefully. Unfortunately, I am going to pass on this. Please know that I wish you the very best in your agent hunt and will be cheering from the sidelines!
Every query - and rejection - gets me closer to the perfect agent! Every aspiring author must remember that rejections are not personal - everybody has their tastes, and publishing a book is a collaborative effort. ##writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #querying #MoonChildren
Querying agents is both fun and terrifying. I'm amazed people do this. Including myself. #QueryTrenches #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit ##queerlit
Package of six colored note cards, unopened.
Got some note cards, so now all that's left to do is begin writing down scenes in order to keep me on track while I write my next book! #writerlife #needatimeline #sequelbooks #MoonChildren #AnAtlasofStars #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #Pantser #Plotting
Thinking about how to set up a website for my writing. I don't think it's supposed to be this nerve-wracking. #writinglife #SFFwriter #queerlit #disabilitylit #websitecreation #anxiety
Slowly making progress on my next book, using a scene grid to transfer my disorganized handwritten thoughts into a plot and story. #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #Scenegridplotting
The movie Project Hail Mary was absolutely phenomenal, and now I have a new must-read added to my ever growing list of books. #Writinglife #SFFwriter #ProjectHailMary #Reading #Books
Iron railings in front of an old victorian building.
Today is a day for doing all those things you didn't know you'd have to do as a writer. Off into town to get more location shots (and some of me).

Headed to see Project Hail Mary in theaters tonight. I don't pay much attention to reviews, but if this is anything like the movie adaptation of The Martian, also by Andy Weir, I know I'll enjoy it. #theaters #ProjectHailMary #adaptations #AndyWeir #BooktoFilm #writinglife #SFFwriter
Just started reading The Mars House by Natasha Pulley. I'm enjoying it so far. #reading #writinglife #SFFwriter #queerlit #disabilitylit #inspiration
Starting my latest draft and compiling all my handwritten notes into one place on my laptop. #Writinglife #SFFwriter #queerlit #disabilitylit #duology #firstdraft
Reading and watching movies always reinvigorates me. That's how I learned I was meant to be a storyteller. What about you? What are you meant to do in life? #writerlife #reading #movies #queerlit #disabilitylit #SFFwriter #Storytelling
Already daydreaming about a new story that has nothing to do with my current manuscript. It's a wonder that anything gets fully done in the first place! #writerlife #SFFwriter #encouragement #disabilitylit #queerlit #writing #newstory
Just finished a workshop meeting. Most people read only the completed project, not the days, months, and years that go into the finalized book. Give a shout out to any writers you know for doing their work. (We all need encouragement now and then). #writerlife #SFFwriter #encouragement
Thank you to @writingdaywksp.bsky.social for a fantastic day and the chance to meet some awesome people, including potential agents! #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #fictionwriting
I had a wonderful time at the #ColoradoWritersWorkshop today, and I am grateful and ecstatic to have received a full request for my manuscript. The process of writing takes one step, and I am one step closer to seeing my book become a reality. #SFFwriter #writinglife #queerlit #disabilitylit
I've been practicing reading my query out loud. It's somehow alarming to notice what looks good on paper doesn't always look as good when spoken. I've known that for years, and it still surprises me. #writerlife #ColoradoWritersWorkshop #queryletter #SFFwriter #debut #querytrenches
A year ago, I was finishing a 2 month internship at Fourth Monkey Actor Training Company, based out of London and finishing a much better (but still very messy) draft of my book. I've been chasing that high ever since. #writinglife #travel #SFFwriter #London #FourthMonkeyActorTrainingCompany
Every year my writing group does a one-shot anthology. Write and edit a short story in 24hrs. Stories usually take days to write and longer to edit. It's a challenge for us and a peek inside the process for readers. It's also exhausting AF.
Pub details to come.

“What if the moon was farther away?”
“What if we had moonlets?”
“What if Earth spun slightly faster?”

for both of my novels "Pixels & Potions" and "Hook on Murder" i don't think we have any coaches that we are aware of.

Met an awesome author, author J. Dursky at GalaxyCon. Got a big book of all ten books rolled into one. The fun part it’s a choose your own adventure book. #sff #sffwriter #scififantasy #galaxycon #writerscommunity #chooseyourownadventure #fantasy
Super excited for this panel! My experiences with disability were a big part of what drew me to speculative fiction writing.

Let me assign you a literary genre!

I’m distracting myself from the world and my right-before-the-climax writers block by making a fun uquiz. Check it out so I may be distracted further!

Decided to make a version with the novel’s title!

I haven't figured out this app yet, but I would love to figure out how to network. Lost all my connections from the T word.
I'm an SFF writer. I love all the animals, people, counter culture, and general misbehavior.
