I’m so excited to read this book! I absolutely love anything about pirates & I have been dying to represent a book about a badass female pirate. If anyone has manuscripts in this vein, please send them to me. Adult or YA. Based on real figures is a huge plus!

Writers & literary agents: SCAMMERS are impersonating agents to deceive & defraud writers and steal intellectual property. I put together a LinkedIn post explaining how to report these scams. Please share to help protect the writing community lnkd.in/p/eX6d4Dbr

⚠️ AUTHOR SCAM ALERT: Someone is STILL impersonating me and contacting authors pretending to be me. Please be careful & share with other writers! Any email claiming to be from me that comes from a Gmail account is NOT legitimate. That account has been reported to authorities.

I’m thrilled to be participating in Industry Engagement Day presented by @TheWritingBarn on July 18th. I’ll be on the Picture Book Palooza II panel & I’m providing written manuscript critiques. Best of luck to everyone!

This is the first & only screenwriting competition I’ve entered & I advanced to the quarterfinals! I love agenting & helping writers, but I also ❤️ writing myself. Screenplays are so different from novels, so I’m thrilled to have successfully adapted to a new storytelling format.

I’m still actively looking for MG, YA or adult fiction with a female baddie main character. Think female pirate, shield maiden, valkyrie, warrior queen, mythological goddess, bandit or outlaw. Bonus points for horror. #writingcommunity

It is with a heavy heart that I share that my sweetest, cutest, fluffiest client has crossed the rainbow bridge. Suzy's legacy will live well beyond her mortal years. She touched so many hearts & inspired countless adoptions. Rest in peace, sweet girl. 😢sourcebooks.com/a-stray-dog-…

Writers Beware, THIS IS NOT ME! Someone is impersonating me. Do not send them your manuscripts or any money if they ask. #WritingCommunity #WritersBeware.

DM me if this person has contacted you. I'm taking legal action.

It was a pleasure to join yesterday's AALA panel “The Landscape & Legalities of Work-for-Hire.” We covered everything from ghostwriting & developmental editing to IP, contracts & industry standards. As an agent, ghostwriter & member of the Copyright Committee, I was glad to help!

Looking for fiction audiobook recommendations that are light, fun & uplifting. I’ve been reading heavier nonfiction lately (just finished Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Giuffre, The Book of Murder by Matt Murphy, & Chasing Evil by Robert Hilliard). Not a romance reader. Suggestions?

Happy International Women’s Day!
