New news! I'm not only taking pitches on September 6th, but I'll be on the "First Pages" panel, where myself and two others will read the first pages of attendees work and offer critiques! Come pitch to me, attend great panels, and improve your writing!

You guys are going to get so sick of me reposting about writers day but, COME PITCH TO ME! I am so stoked for this!

Heads up friends: I'm in a wrist brace that makes typing clumsy and X doesn't allow edits. You'll have to excuse any weird typo situations until my hand heals!

Please, PLEASE research querying thoroughly *before* you start querying. I promise it will save you so much heartache and confusion in the future. Querying is not something to just jump into without knowing anything. You HAVE to be prepared.

ICYMI: Small presses are often where the most exciting and innovative work is happening in literature today. Their founders are not hobbyists uploading a file to Amazon, they are part of the beating heart of publishing, says Ekta Bajaj 👇 ebx.sh/G4Vrwi

I should be reading but My Life With The Walter Boys Season 2 is on Netflix and I'm literally just a girl.

Today is substack day! I'll be sitting down to write you guys a post here soon, but tell me in the comments what topics you'd love to hear from me now and in the future!

Anyone who knows medicine knows that triage is one of the most brutal necessities. It's true for my inbox too. Agents are clawing through hundreds of queries at a time- check out how I sort through the chaos! open.substack.com/pub/resteplite…

Being a chronic care medical parent has such ridiculous moments sometimes. I tried to doordash Cold Stone Creamery to the hospital last night and I'll let you guess how that went. Turns out, per the nurse, they keep ice cream cups available on the floor. Lesson learned.

HOT Wishlist: YA Kid led civilization. Adults missing. The Netflix show "The Society" vibes. "The 100" vibes. Where did the adults go? Great question.

Writers: if I started a series where I gave you one line and you had to answer as your main character, does that sound like a fun exercise to you? Tumblr sentence starter memes were always so fun back in the day and I have a whole blog of them.

So.....who's coming to Writers Day on Saturday? I'll be taking pitches all day, and I'll be on the First Pages panel at 1:15 (CST)
