I'm excited to share that I'll be doing three (3!) in-person events with @writingdaywksp.bsky.social this March.

⭐March 7th - Charlotte, NC
⭐March 8th - Raleigh, NC
⭐March 29th - Boston, MA

Let me know if I'll see you at any of these, or check out their other online and in-person events!

My Query Manager page should show that I'm closed as I catch up on queries received in December and that I plan to open again in February once I'm caught up - I believe you can sign up for alerts too! If you're curious about how I manage queries though, check out my December substack post!

Thank you @emilyhughes.bsky.social for including Red Rabbit Ghost on this list! What a good year to be a freak 🐇 👻

The Question of Queries Humanizing the query reading process

For the query curious, read my newest substack! 🦝

Nope! We all manage our own queries and just ask that you not submit to us at the same time

Thanks!😊

Thanks for supporting my scattered attempts at social media and literally everything else I do. 🥰

I only accept queries via query manager! querymanager.com/queryjessica...

See the JLLA website, my personal website, or the link in my bio for tips and instructions *as well at the text at the top of my Query Manager pages* as I will only be open to specific genres at some times! #querying

I'm open to queries and I'm most looking for:
⭐speculative literary & upmarket fiction
⭐light horror
⭐very personal feeling women's fiction
⭐narrative nonfiction that peels back the curtain on something truly cool and uses both a personal connection and criticism to show why we should pay attention
