Ok ok ok. I know it’s Sunday. I know it’s a long shot. September has arrived, kids are in school, fall is around the corner and the seasons are changing…but let’s hope anyway. Let’s manifest some great positive query responses today! #AmQuerying

Thought for tonight: Either space opera as a genre is too saturated… Or mine is just too amazing and several agents are currently spellbound by its awesomeness and I have to wait for them return from bliss to respond to my query. #AmQuerying

Today marks day 60 in the query trenches. Two months in…and starting today off with a fresh rejection. Let’s hope it’s all uphill from here!

Ok, my #SeptScheming post for the day: I think the next WIP I get back to will be the cozy sci fi rom-com.

Before I sleep tonight, I’ll just put this out there. Are any agents looking for a good space opera with found family?

Annnndddd I'm open! I'm also very very low in horror, speculative literary (meaning i need some magic, mythical creature, sci-fi or otherwise unexplained woo in almost purple prose writing, character first, but still a good plot), and far future sci-fi in all ages. Gimme gimme

Tonight’s query trench update is a little different. Let’s get real for a minute. My feed is full of writers getting double digit full requests and it feels like everyone is finding success except me. That’s not how it is for the majority of us. If you feel like me…
