Miriam (mainly updates) 🐸 🍉

I’m over-the-moon proud to announce that, officially as of today, I’ve joined @thekiagency’s team as their newest agent! 💚 I cannot begin to properly m praise what a warm welcome I’ve already been given. I’m excited to, well, keep doing what I’ve been doing—except more 🔥

“we’re losing the ancient texts” no! we’re losing texts! period! read a book!

🦴 COVER REVEAL 🦴 I am so excited to share the cover for THE HANGING BONES, my next YA Dark Fantasy with @FierceReads, out May 12, 2026! Art: Coey + Shy Designer: @luguardio

So thrilled I now get to shout about Dr Yasmine Shamma's timely book, rooted in her extraordinary research, on what home means to the displaced. Yasmine is an incredible writer - you're in for a treat. Couldn't have asked for a better home for this than @thenewpress! 🥂 🥰

Ever seen an agent wishlist and thought, “Well, they’re not looking for my book”? Hold up. That list isn’t the whole story. In this blog post, I talk about what agent wishlists actually mean (and why you might still be a fit). buff.ly/coxq2Nq #writingcommunity

ICYMI: Kesia Lupo (@keslupo) is joining Macmillan Children’s Books (@MacmillanKidsUK) as commissioning editor next month 👇 ebx.sh/zWcchF

I am thrilled to announce that I am now represented by @chamomeriam! I couldn’t have asked for a better champion for my story, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us 🫶. #WritingCommunity #5amwritersclub.

also if you wanna find out where I've landed, well, how about you give me a week? 😉

and it's during this transition that I'm honored welcome @Amy_Fonseca41 to Team Chamomile! her phenomenal YA spec mystery—steeped in Southern Appalachian lore—pairs cousins divided by death investigating the same secret with a sublimely atmospheric style

Planning to close to queries JULY 1 to dive into some fulls 👀 This is two weeks of an open inbox at Howland, and I am STOKED about the quality of these queries! This is like walking into a literary candy shop! 🍭🍬🍫

VILE LADY VILLAINS is coming to the US and Canada! 🥀🖤🗡️ I can’t begin to tell you how deeply grateful and excited I am that my sapphic, Gothic, Greek myth meets Shakespeare horromantasy will be published in the US and Canada by the fantastic team over at @UnionSqandCo

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I am now represented by the one and only @vickyweberbooks at Creative Media Agency! 🤩 Dreams. Come. True. #kidlit #publishingnews #WritingCommunity

While I left before ArtHouse announced it's closure, to say the news came as a shock is a massive understatement. I will always be grateful to ArtHouse for giving me my start, but mostly for introducing me to such wonderful humans as Esty, Miriam, and Hailey. 🫶

*if I owe you a query response* I’m waiting to sign on a dotted line before contacting you with new information (same for editors I promise)

ArtHouse shuttering has been one of the most complicated, sad, surprising experiences, but Miriam, Hailey, and I have been supported by some of the most amazingly generous fellow agents and agency owners. Above all, our clients have been gracious and supportive (1/2)

My book combining the lush mythology of This Woven Kingdom with the mother trauma of Snow White is being published! I’m thrilled to work with @AshleyHearn at @peachtreeteen who gets all the layers of The Lustrous Dark and has the vision to grow this story into its final form!!
