Breaking my social media hiatus to share something super exciting: I sold a YA mystery! Keep an eye out for DEATH IN THE CARDS (Summer 2025) 💀🃏 HUGE thanks to my editor, @BriARag & my agent, @jillmarsal. So excited to join the team at @delacortepress & @getunderlined 💜💜💜
Screenshot from Publishers Marketplace saying, " Bria Ragin at Delacorte has acquired, in an exclusive submission, Death in the Cards by Mia P. Manansala, pitched as "Veronica Mars but starring queer, brown girls." In this YA debut, high school tarot reader Danika Dizon's latest client goes missing after a troubling reading; when the client's younger sister blames her for the disappearance, Danika must apply everything she's learned from her private investigator mother and mystery author father to solve her first case. Publication is slated for summer 2025; Jill Marsal at Marsal Lyon Literary Agency did the deal for world rights."

just a heads up, twitter changed the DM settings for everyone to be that only checkies can DM you. if you want to receive DMs from anyone not dumb enough to fall for elon's scam, go into your settings and change it from the second option to the third option.
