So excited to see mapmaker and amateur sleuth, Robert Rutherfurd, get his first mention on social media! 🧭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🗡️🩸 Love all the pitches! 💕

Eeee! A year ago I was picking my agent, but today is just as exciting. The KTPP shortlist is KILLING it w/agent interest in 3 books so far! 👀 SO proud! Agents, if you ❤️one, please comment/dm me. I’d planned to send references after the winner but things are moving fast!

So excited to have made the shortlist along with these other amazing pitches! 🥳📚🥳 The Debatable Lands was also shortlisted for the pitch perfect competition Bloody Scotland last year so 🤞🤞🤞

Wow!!! My novel has now had NINE full requests. Any agents want to make it TEN? Or an offer of rep or pub would be super lovely. ☺️🙏 #amquerying #WritingCommunity

As of now, 6 of the 9 manuscripts have had agent interest! I might need to make a spreadsheet. One has already had 4 agents ask to see it! I'm THRILLED and I hope it works out for the writers. Thanks so much for the support and kindness to the writers! This has been SUCH a joy.

So proud of the #KillerTwistPitchPrize honorable mention winner Grace Belnap If you want to hear more of my thoughts about her writing, watch me nearly cry trying to talk about it:

Missing my mom a lot lately. Wrote about it. Apologies to everyone I made cry in public today. alessandraranelli.com/2025/04/18/a-s…
