Querying writer friends - Christa is a true champion of an agent and I couldn’t recommend querying her enough!!! Especially if you’re looking for someone with incredible editorial visions ☺️
Writers, I'm excited to say I'm open to queries again! My #MSWL is mostly the same, but I'll post updates as I think of them!

Daniele is such a JOY to work with—if you are looking for an editorial agent who takes deep care in her feedback and truly sinks into your stories to see the heart of them, I cannot recommend querying Daniele enough!! (plus she's an amazing knitter)
Hi, writers! I'm Daniele, a junior agent about to reopen for my 2nd year accepting my own queries (!!!). I'm thrilled to share my #MSWL & updates. Website: dhunteragent.com QM: querymanager.com/ddhunter Original MSWL, most of which still applies: rb.gy/j4umq4

I had to do it to Mor and Luke 😂 Art is by @/beatrews
I’m asking politely that you all go make a Barbie poster for your characters because this just turned my Very Bad Mood around (character art by @/xylicaa!)

Barbie and Ken if they were dropped into CORALINE, Barbie was having an existential crisis and Ken was having a great time

Not me casually standing in my kitchen making an afternoon coffee only to see my uncle bike up to my house, knock on the door, go “here I thought you’d like this” while shoving a book in my hands, hop back on his bike and disappear… idk if this says more about my uncle or me 😂

working on a final draft is always equal parts exciting and extremely surreal like this story has been chilling in my head forever and is almost ready to be perceived??? by people who aren't just me??? terrifying.

So do I need to convince to let me write for both DC and the Barbie cinematic universe?

At any given moment, I'm either writing all the witchy horror or a sappy, self-indulgent romcom—there is no in-between
