Sun and Spines booking update: I am now booking projects into April (I know, this year is flying!!) so if you are looking for developmental edits, please reach out to secure a spot on my calendar! ☀️✨ #writingcommunity #amquerying

I love hearing the agent perspective and learned today that there is an official maybe button in QM only agents see! As someone who seems to be in that pile, I think I would only want to know officially if the pass came with personalized feedback. Recommend a listen - this episode is insightful!

Yall, I’m not a podcast girlie, but I listened to the two most recent episodes and everything has started making sense hahahaha Highly highly recommend

Come on y’all, I know you got questions about the maybe pile!!! Go listen! #amquerying #WritingCommunity

Episode 4—all about the "elusive" maybe pile—is up now!!

This was such a GREAT episode! @andiesmithbooks.bsky.social and @clgslr.bsky.social are really using their podcast to demystify the world of publishing and I think this is an amazing resource for #amquerying authors and anyone wanted to learn more about publishing!

ICYMI: I’m officially back open to queries! With QM’s recent updates, the below word count MAX applies: Fantasy or NA: 120k Thriller: 90k Romance: 100k MG: 50k (60k for fantasy) YA: 90k (120k for fantasy)

Dear #WritingCommunity! If you’re stuck on your manuscript? Tired if looking at it contact @andiesmithbooks.bsky.social | Sun & Spine Editorial is a lifesaver! Her notes reignited my passion for a manuscript I'd given up on AND gave me back the confidence I lost. #amediting #manuscripthelp
