So excited to dig into this story 🥰

I won’t share the hook of my current WIP until it’s fully drafted (just to be extra safe from idea stealers…) But it’s reallllllyyyy good 👀

Me staring at an error in my manuscript I could’ve sworn I fixed… But instead, multiple agents now hold a full where my FMC’s name is randomly spelt wrong in a single chapter 🤦🏻‍♀️🙃

… *whispers* one of the pros of traditional publishing is you shouldn’t need to spend a single penny 🤍

SO I’ve been querying on and off for the last 8 years, I’ve been agented, I’ve done an R&R, I’ve been on sub, I've mentored, I’ve written and critiqued approximately 7534 queries, and I'm basically glued to PM. if you're a querying writer with questions, my DMs are open and free

Three non-writer facts about me… 🤿 I’m scuba certified ✈️ I’ve been to 60+ countries 🏥 I have a tiny brain tumor that used to be a massive brain tumor & am so thankful for the recovery I’ve had 🤍

You attract what you fear 😱 🫣 My breath scrapes against my throat as I imagine the worst… An email asking to have a phone call after devouring DARE TO BELIEVE 🎪

YES querying is hard. I think I sent my first query out in 2020? 1st manuscript was terrible, 2nd was okay (it received a few requests), 3rd was better (13 request! No offer though), 🎪 WIP is number 4 & is doing pretty well so far 👀 I’m here for the long haul 🤍

Shattered by the loss of her Olympic dream, Cat joins a magical circus only to find that the performers are really prisoners🎪 And now that her memories have returned, she has days to free herself & her true love #shootyourshotsunday #amquerying

New fear unlocked after that agent’s tweets 💀

If anyone out there is wondering if this was your query, please let me know if you’d like an extra pair of eyes on your query & opening pages🤍 I’d be so anxious if I’d queried her recently… My critiques always come laced w/ kindness & it’s the only thing I can think of to help

What are the chances the #litagent I've been eyeing has been eyeing me too?

I've been enjoying a little social media hiatus (actually deleted apps on my phone so I'm forced to login through desktop) ✨& it's been amazing✨ Main writing update: I hit a breakthrough in my new WIP & SO excited to share the hook (after it's fully drafted)🍀💀🌆🐍💋

I've been busy with life and not on here much, but this is my fun reminder I wrote a story about an Olympic gymnast forced to perform in a magical circus 💕star-crossed lovers trapped in a sinister 🎪 🌪️layered with twists 🤸‍♀️timely w/ current Olympics (I hope 👀) #amquerying

Drafting while pregnant is fun because I literally gagged at the nonsense I just wrote 🤣 (But actually I looooveee my current WIP so much 🥹)

Finally started a LOTR (extended edition) rewatch last night. Which means I get to randomly whisper "we've been there" to my husband because we spent our honeymoon geeking out over Tolkien in NZ
