Intro to the WIP I’m revising 🥰 DARCY COATES X JUNIPER & THORN When a woman with touch-based magic discovers her fiancé’s monstrous curse, she worries he might be behind the sudden murders around their manor. And after she falls mysteriously ill, she realizes she’ll be the next body to fall.

✨ An agent’s guide to GALEHOUSE, my next adult project to enter the trenches! 🖤 🕯️ Featuring Big 5 editor interest, it’s currently in its final round of revisions, so agents, please do let me know if you’d like to see it in your inbox soon! 🫀 #amquerying #writingcommunity

TOMORROW!!!!! 👀👏

hello friends! my colleague, the brilliant Lorna Hemingway, is on the hunt for new projects! she represents everything in the children's space from board books to YA and is specifically looking for: - contemporary romance - coming of age (especially BIPOC) - gorgeous, punchy graphic novels #mswl

IM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK AND ITS COVER AND ITS AUTHOR!

“So you’re saying some unwell individual broke into the Gale estate without Ewan or I knowing, and killed him?”

would really just love for someone to give me a chance in publishing 🥲 feels like I’m going backwards

I finished Rebecca yesterday and it’s given me suchhh a book hangover 😭 genuinely one of my favorite books I’ve ever read

I only need to finish 8 more books by the end of the year. Can I do it

Rewatching The Holiday has become such a treasured tradition for me that I legitimately plan it like an event. I need no distractions, the comfiest clothes and blankets, the perfect snack, and it has to be juuust before Christmas. I look forward to it almost as much as Christmas itself. 🥹

✨ bookish checkpoint ✨ last book read: the exorcist by william peter blatty current reads: my darling dreadful thing by johanna van veen & rebecca by daphne du maurier last add to tbr: the eye of the ouroboros by @megbontra.bsky.social next anticipated read: emily wilde’s encyclopedia of faeries

the writers who have 14 different unfinished WIPs yet still regularly post “I might have an idea for a new WIP” are integral to the author ecosystem

Been doing a little more brainstorming for my snowy cabin horror WIP and getting sooo excited to start drafting again! ❄️🪓
