If you’re a querying writer using Libby, here’s a secret research tip to find agents to query: go to the pages of comps/books you feel yours will sit well next to on a shelf. After the blurb, Libby links to any trade reviews the book might have. Publisher’s Weekly reviews list the agent!

We were in Atlantic City over the weekend, visiting our son and his partner, and not thinking about politics.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚
Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏
FOR BLESSING AND NOT FOR CURSE Creator of all things, your creations fill the Earth. With a simple glance I behold the bounty of your makings. The living creatures of flesh and breath, the foliage which feeds, the elemental powers which we attribute to your actions. We cannot simply pray for abundance when too much becomes a curse. Reliant on the rain whose waters sustain in scarcity delivers death with drought in abundance engulfs and drowns.
Reliant on the fire whose heat warms in scarcity bears fatality with frost in abundance engulfs and incinerates. The same water which fuels can flood. The same fire which fuels can destroy. We cannot pray them away. Creator of all things, we pray for balance blessing, not curse life, not death satiety, not want knowing one shifting wind can change our fate.
