This is how I found my agent. Last October I happened to see Amy's tweet saying she would open for 48 hours (it was already about 24 hrs in). I took the tweaked my query later, hit send, and a couple of months later she signed me. It could happen to you!
In honor of my promotion from associate literary agent to literary agent, I'm opening back up for 48 hours for any and all submissions! Let's Go! #amquerying #WritingCommmunity

If you know a little (or even a big) who needs to share some feelings about missing someone dear- from a number of causes - relocation, deployment , sickness, death- this book is my hug to them. Please listen to this interview

📢 Hi #KidLit—just a quick heads-up—my family is moving! (Seattle area to northern NJ) With moving logistics plus ALA soon, I need to put #PBStudyBuddy on pause until we get settled mid-summer-ish. Here’s a roundup of 29 PBs featured so far for 2024, more to come later! 💖📚

I have reopened to queries!* Take a look at my #mswl to see if I'm the right fit for your ms before you send. I'm looking forward to reading your work!
*If you haven't yet heard from me, your ms is still under consideration. Thanks for your patience!
