I've decided that TOMORROW is the day I reopen to #queries! So excited, after being closed for more than a year, to re-open. And guess what: I'm on the hunt for #fiction this time. Woohoo! Updated #MSWL to come. Tell your friends and all the cool people you know. #amagenting

You can be proud of your writing *and* want it to be better. You can be excited to query *and* terrified of rejection. Writing is full of emotional contradictions. Youโ€™re allowed to feel them all. #AmWriting #WritingLife

Lana is bored, her family is grieving the loss of her father, & she visits the alligator witch to connect with her dad. Big mistake! Trying to fix it, she learns history, finds new family, & helps her family talk about her dad. So good Maura Jortner! Holiday House Publishing, Inc. #BookPosse

Have you always been a storyteller? Although I didn't start writing my first novel until my late 30s, as a child I'd often stay up late telling my siblings stories, and I also wrote songs. However, my love of reading is what inspired me to write. When I think of the books I
