Just another day of pinching myself for feeling so lucky that I get to work my dream job as a book publicist 🥹✨💖

Writers, if you ever feel bad about querying your book, and getting rejections, just remember I once put down my genre as male.

The first book wasn’t in, so I handed her a copy of Silent Sister instead. Her grandma asked, “Oh, but were you going to check it out?” Me: “No, I, uh, wrote it.”

Awkward or applause moment? A young teen and her grandma were having trouble finding a YA thriller they were searching for in the library. I knew the book immediately, so pointed out the section with that author, but she reached for the sequel…

✨TRANSPARENCY TIME✨ Finally got paid for my IP gig. So, officially, I no longer have trad pub work. So, I'll break down my trad pub career from 2020-2025. Let's start with the money stuff. 1/11

Hey, fellow indie authors, Drop your covers. I will share my top 3 picks. [I am bored]

BRUTAL- A young girl’s poem about divorce. "So when my mother asks what I want next year, cash is what I’ll say. Because what I really want is something they don’t want to hear.” Remember this the next time you have the urge to say “all kids want is to see their parents happy!”

I’m not crying, you are 🥹🥹👀👀

Delighted to announce I am now a literary associate at @FolioLiterary. Exciting times ahead, folks!

Now that I am closed to queries & I've sent off my client's edit letter, I'm diving into partials and fulls. Everything in my inbox will be answered by September 1st when I reopen. I will be posting an updated MSWL closer to opening day! Thanks everyone :)

September 1st will be here before we know it, so for all you planners out there...here's my new wishlist! I am looking forward to seeing your amazing stories soon!

Posted about my postcolonial vampire YA WIP and a bookshop wanted to carry it 🥹

some common MG and YA concepts in my inbox recently (5+ within a month): - pirates / going back in time with pirates - being followed around by a ghost - magic school / honing one’s powers - getting stuck in video games - androids - swapped-at-birth royalty

Hi! I know not many people aren’t here any more but today was my last day at Storytide/HarperCollins! The last four years were filled with great books and authors, so they’ll truly be missed! Currently, not going to another house but who knows, our paths will cross somehow ✍️📝👀

Because they were saved by faith — and painting the blood was the evidence of that faith. “By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.” — Hebrews 11:28 The act didn’t save them apart from faith — it was the…

Can’t wait to share the cover and title for Amari #4 on Thursday!

I just finished my first draft!! And I finished it 1.5 months. 😱 (Okay, I had a couple false starts, but once I got going, it only took me 1.5 months!) It's messy, but it's beautiful. 🥹 #WritingCommunity #FirstDraft

Update — I picked up first pass today and the same woman remembered me and was so excited and will now be preordering 😭❤️ Be like the Staples lady lol: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770831/w…

the idea of writing a book dedication one day. like putting someone's name at the front of something that once only lived in my head. yeah. i'm crying.

At long last…WE’VE HIT TURBULENCE has a cover! AND you can preorder it!  Mallory Heyer has completely blown me away with her vision for this book, and the minute I opened that first sketch, I knew that this cover was meant to be. (1/3)
