~8% of my queries last year were genres/themes I specifically said I didn't want. This is annoying on a case-by-case basis, but most people who submit to me ARE reading my MSWL. Only 8% are throwing spaghetti at the wall. Thank you, everyone who honored my wishlist! #agenting
An #Agenting #AmQuerying question here: If I were to do a wrap-up post of queries I handled in 2025, what would you be interested in seeing in it? How many I read, how many requested, how many I signed... but what else?
2025 blazed by and we kept the flame going on the #agenting side all year long. 🌞
I still got some things up my sleeve but it wouldn’t be #publishing without a lil secret💋 xoxo

I have spent almost my entire adult life working in the film business and have amassed a sizeable trove of personal encoutners with terrible behavior.
Chances are I crossed paths with you at some point.

January 2025 #agenting stats: number of queries read: 78. Number of fulls requested: 2
My box is open for #querying, but please read my guidelines first! They clearly state what I'm looking for, and what I'm not. 🫶
Since I wrote about the above books licensed by Philip Turner Book Productions in 2024, I'm gonna add a mini-thread of other titles of ours including books coming out in 2025 and beyond. #books #agenting #editing
Wishing everyone who is #writing, in #agenting, and #publishing the very best holiday wishes.
Get ready for another picture book from Abigail Rayner and Molly Ruttan! This poignant and joyous story is a celebration of life and a comfort in grief. Excited to see more beautiful books from this duo! #agenting #bookdeal #bookannouncement
