Hi! ๐ท
I'm working on a multi-contributor, workbook-style publication on how to start a DIY residency.
A resource like this is neededโ*so* many people ask me about starting @strangefound, & crave more info about what's possible.
Know a publisher who might be interested? HMU!โจ
๐๐๐Hooray for Earth 1.0 cohort member/future resident @zoeschlanger ! Can't wait to devour your book when it comes out, and host you up here soon <3
Some news: I'm writing my dream book for @HarperCollins @harperbooks. Thrilled doesn't begin to cover it. Thank you to @aeaglin, a total hero of an agent.
