Congratulations! I queried through the link on the agency website, but as an fyi, you’re not pulling up on query tracker for anyone who searches your name or agency. That may be intentional, but if not, I wanted to make sure you’re aware. :)

Oh! I just noticed your name and have seen you on query tracker. I’m interning as a literary agent now and would love to pick your brain on how you broke into the industry. Multiple internships?

Also wow to writing and agenting. Good for you!

A movie poster mock up for THREADBARE featuring a open book lying in a pile of dead leaves. On its pages displays a bright forest. A silver and blue moth stands on the edge of its page. The title reads THREADBARE with a billing block at the bottom. The tag line on the left reads 'Change Helps Our Wings Grow'

Curtis' belief in fairy tales started the fire that uprooted their family.

With a new start, they want to be done with all fantasies. But when a magical world is plagued by chaos that threatens to spread into the real world, Curtis is suddenly at the center of it all!

🧹 EARLY MAGIC - When a cocksure witch loses her magic to a cunning daemon, she hatches a plan to steal it backβ€”though it means betraying a grieving classmate who’s only just discovered the world of magic.

Ada Figures: a verse novel by Christiana Doucette
Tag line: If magic is science undiscovered, then someday I'll be an enchantress.

A portrait of young Ada Byron Lovelace is flanked by her parents, mad bad and dangerous to know Lord Byron the poet, and his ex wife the mathmatical genius Annabelle Milbanks Byron. Behind Ada is a leather bound folio with a key, a white pawn, a black rook, and a white persian cat (her kitten Miss Puff). The wings she's working to build halo her. The Background is an old map of the Bifrons area where Ada Lovelace was confined away from most society. The title is framed by a blackboard with steampunk-esque gears.

12yo #STEM genius Ada Lovelace hides prohibited poetry, & dreams of flight to freedom.

Both risk the volitile connection with mom.

She must persuade Lady Byron STEM & dreams are the future, or lose the tenuous connection completely.

Anyone know of a fantasy with a snarky main character who is 13 or 14 years old?

I hope current WIP is made into a film one day. That’s the dream! I have aphantasia to a degree, so it would be amazing to see my book in that format. Description is a weakness of mine because I don’t β€œsee” much in my mind but rather feel it. So that would be a very cool experience.

Took my first stab at a PB in December. I’ve written 3 MG manuscripts and PB is its own beast. Every word needs a very clear purpose. A whole story in 750 words that has rhythm AND makes you feel? Hard AF!

The Pitch!
It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings…  How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?
