I am an unpublished author of two YA contemporary novels. Maybe one day I will do something with them.

Chris was a pretty nice guy. I had been on panels with him, we discussed self-publishing in private, and he was nice enough to blurb me. That's a damn shame. Read his books! They are very engaging.

Good luck. Jealous of your motivation. You’ve stepped into the ring !!!

Sent High Five off to 6 agents today. πŸš€

Wish me luck! I need a strong cup of coffee now while I refresh my inbox like someone possessed.😱

Hopefully one of them sees the potential I see in this story.

Redman’s ready. I’m ready. Let’s see what happens.🀞🏻

I #track ed a path
to where he was,
over rough terrain
& impossible geography

redrawing the maps
as if the earth
could shift that way,
resetting the clocks
as if time
was on my side

tracing a line,
as if my soul
could make
it's way there
without my body.

Being well-read in your exact publishing genre/subgenre is very important. This reading informs you what your 'best' readers are reading now and will have read before they discover your novel. Readers have expectations groomed by the books they read.

I wrote this so long ago LOL. I wrote it before I got the art piece, so I'll have to change the wording later to reflect what this space looks like.

Also, "Grilled hated sitting on buckets" lmao, what a stupid sentence. I have no idea why I wrote thatπŸ˜‚

My dad passed in 2014. It is the weirdest feeling not having him on this earth. I believe, no matter how old you are, you feel like a lost child when a parent passes.

Misconceptions about querying:

Queries must be perfect to send to an agent. FALSE.

Comps should be exactly like your book. NOPE!

An agent gave a form response on your last book, so they’re not going to want this one. INCORRECT.
