I'm so looking forward to releasing my memoirs later this year and am currently on the lookout for a literary agent who aligns with my values.

Every once in a while I go back and search #askagent and answer a few questions. So I'm usually late to the game, but I'm around. I'm also open to receiving questions directly if you ever want to reach out and ask something. Within reason, of course.
Can I say I'm a children's book author/illustrator when I only illustrate my own non-fiction and how-to books, not #PB stories? I do write MG and PBs. Do #LiteraryAgents for author/illustrators only ever want artists for PB stories? What else should I call myself?

Do you think Disclosure Day—Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film—will cause a surge in SciFi wishlists? Is it too soon to use it as a comp? #askagent #publishing #editors
Quick #AskAgent #AskAnything Q to any #LiteraryAgent who’s listening out there from an #AspiringAuthor who will begin officially #Querying shortly:
This #BluePit pitch includes a reference to a controversial writer. To date, that comp is still the best I have found.
Would that turn you off?
It’s a new year so let’s start an #AskAgent thread.
Post questions here and I’ll do my best to answer them all.
Leaving this open through the weekend.
#QueryTip #AmWriting
Trying to pay it back so I'll answer publishing, querying, and writing questions here Friday and Saturday. I might not answer immediately, but I will answer them all. #askagent #writingcommunity
I'm reading queries for the next few hours. Anyone have #askagent questions about querying, writing, or publishing? Happy to answer questions for a bit.
One thing I miss about Twitter was the #AskAgent community. Is this active here? Are there any literary agents out that can answer a question??
Also this is my first post in months so I will most likely be talking to myself here 😅
#amquerying #askagent #romance Searching for a missing friend, a woman is drawn into a seductive paradise where every smile hides a deadly secret—and escape may be impossible. When Scarlett fly to Tahiti for what should be the trip of a lifetime, paradise quickly curdles into something sinister.
Alright friends, here we go! My first ever #askagent! Comment below with your questions and I'll do my best to answer. I will answer every comment posted in the next hour!
Let's see what you got! ☺️
I'll be doing an #askagent TODAY from 2pm to 3pm CST! Bring your burning publishing/querying/writing etc questions and I'll do my best to answer! ☺️
Okay so this seems to be pretty wanted! So I'm going to do an #askagent on Friday 10/24 from 2pm CST to 3pm CST! Bring your burning publishing/querying etc questions and I'll do my best to answer them! ☺️
I think I want to do an #askagent later this week.
Like #amquerying folks can ask publishing /querying/writing etc questions and I'll answer as best I can. I know I used to see those a lot on twitter but I don't seem too often here.
Would that be something people are interested in? ☺️
I changed ONE LINE in my first chapter to drop the hook faster and with more of an oomph and now I'm fretting that I screwed up all the queries I submitted previously... #askagent should I bother resubmitting?
I plan to open this fall, probably for a few weeks, and then close for the holidays to catch up on what does come in. It will probably be late October / early November. Anyway, thanks to any of you who have (or are considering) trusting me with your work.
#writingcommunity #amquerying #askagent
I’ve signed new clients (yay!), and I’m still considering material from my inbox before I closed, and those conferences and events, and more will be coming after this weekend. Also, life gets busy sometimes.
#writingcommunity #amquerying #askagent
Well, first, I’ve had a few conferences and pitch events, and I have another one coming this week. (Be sure to check out Writing Away Refuge. www.writingawayrefuge.com)
#writingcommunity #amquerying #askagent
I’ve been closed to queries longer than I intended to be. I just thought I’d give a little explanation, because I know it may not make sense at first glance - how can an agent actively building a list stay closed to queries?
#writingcommunity #amquerying #askagent
I need a break from queries.
Anyone have any questions?
I'll do an #AskAgent if that's at all helpful...
And go!
Are publishers still interested in queer manuscripts? Especially spicy ones? Are they bothering to look at them? With the increasing censorship of queer media, I don't even know if my (and other's) work will find a home. It's so discouraging.

Since algorithms on this site are weird I thought I’d open a #askagent for the month of September instead of trying to do one for a shortened period.
So if you have a question post below & I’ll get to it when I can.
Typos will always happen. ❤️
Anyone up for an #askagent
Post your questions below and I will do my best to get to them.
No I’m not on my elliptical, but typos will probably still happen because I don’t have my glasses on 😂
I'll take #askagent questions from the #writingcommunity here until Monday at 7 pm EST. Let them rip!
Dear lovely romance agents!
You might find a query for Board Wars - my contemporary sports surfing romance - in your inbox.
(And if it's not, maybe it should be? 🥰)
#AskAgent #AmQuerying
Anyone up for an #AskAgent
Late start on my elliptical means I’m going to be hurting for a distraction. Come hang out with me and ask questions!
Post below and I’ll do my best to get to all of them.
Typos will happen❤️

Is it just me, or do folks not know science fantasy-----and yet, science fantasy often delivers the biggest hits? Star Wars & Star Trek ARE science fantasy and everyone mistakes them for science fiction!
