Oh yay! I’m glad you joined us. I really don’t think I’d like going live, but hosting with another person makes it a lot of fun.

4/ this past year as it's been an interesting one. I feel like I've spent the whole year chasing my tail, and I hate that feeling. Here's hoping 2026 sees fewer medical issues and personal emergencies, and me less frantic to meet deadlines with more time to read queries and submissions!

3/ send a quick pass because I'm overwhelmed and trying to meet a deadline. Those remaining in my queue are at the top of my interest list, and I will read them in order of receipt. So the earlier you submitted, the faster your response will be.

I want to thank everyone for your patience...

2/ I have exactly 15 submissions left in my queue, and I promise to get through those submissions before reopening to queries. If you are one of these 15, please know this isn't a stalling tactic. These last 15 are in my "final round" queue which means I have serious interest and don't want to...

1/ If you've been in my query inbox, here's an update on where I am.

EVERYONE should've heard something from me by today UNLESS you're a Dec or later submission that I let in through the back door.

Sadly, I didn't get through everyone by Jan 1, BUT...

4/...from me in the next several days, please-please-please know that in almost every case, the pass has nothing to do with your writing and everything to do with it either not fitting what I need for my list, or me not being "obsessed." And you shouldn't fault yourself for my lack of obsession.

3/...so full that I'm having to be hyper-selective in what I take on...which means the the writing has to be spectacular, the project a good fit for my list, and--most important--I have to be literally OBSESSED with it. And sadly, that last pre-rec is the hardest to meet.

So if you get a pass...
