So incredibly excited to announce that I have signed with Alexander Slater at Sanford J. Greenburger! I knew White Trash Witchcraft was something special, but I never in my wildest dreams anticipated ten offers and the absolute rollercoaster that has been this past month. 🧵
Starting the year with an updated pitch for my YA queer Appalachian horror, White Trash Witchcraft "Southern inheritances are always dark—But when Sierra’s dad succumbs to something even stronger than his usual opioids, she must decide which monsters to slay and which to become"
I'm working behind the scenes to get my free query critiques up and running again. I currently know of 21 people who got agents after working together last time, and I'm so excited to get back to it this year!
Look at all the writing brilliance in one photo. They could take over the writing works. calling it now.
“Don’t talk to strangers on the internet.” Why?? Cause we may just become best friends??
I'm not always the biggest social media fan, but there's something really magical about when it can bring writing friends together irl ✨ @suzannealbanis

I have a history of waking up in the middle of the night to frantically write down some genius idea, only to realize later it just says "llama yogurt" or something. But I recently woke to find a fully formed pitch and title that's maybe one of my best? Stay tuned... 🪡💀
The best way I can describe the differences between my last book and my current book is that the last one had crumbling, kudzu-covered chapels, and this one has a megachurch, and both are terrifying in their own right.
My #WIPPit book is set in my home state of South Carolina!🌄 I wish I could say it's because of the beauty of the Blue Ridge, but the backdrop of the book has more to do with our laws banning books, requiring teachers to report trans kids, and enforcing abstinence-only sex ed.
