How I Got My Literary Agent
How I Got My Literary Agent
My stats. TLDR: I couldn’t have pulled it off alone. If you had taken my preteen self aside, and looked her full in her zit-dotted face and said, “Are you sure about this writing thing?”, she would’ve answered, “Duh, why not?” And then you might’ve said, “Because you’re gonna be querying agents.” And, with the optimism she had before she lived through publishing and puberty, she would’ve…

Postcards from the Depths of Revision
Postcards from the Depths of Revision
When I was little, I turned my closet into a black hole of cardigans. I was so affronted by the precious three seconds it takes to hang sweaters on hangers that I tossed them into a pile that grew until one day I tried to pull one from the wall of knits and cotton and it collapsed and buried me.

Books live at my house. They go from room to room and lounge on various pieces of furniture. They go to work and to the store with us. They sit at the kitchen table. They ride in the car and fly in planes with us. They live with us and pay rent in fantasy.
The Ultimate Guide to Worldbuilding
The Ultimate Guide to Worldbuilding
Setting up the Setting Characters don’t interact in a vacuum. The reason some people prefer fantasy and sci-fi over contemporary fiction is because they want to get lost in a different world, so creating a compelling setting intrigues readers just as much as character actions and motivations do. Half the fun of reading Harry Potter and the Hunger Games is figuring out how the wizarding world and…

The Deathworkers Agency
The most annoying thing about death is all the paperwork involved. Every morning, Lyle and I make the trip to the warehouse to sift through today’s files and see whose soul we get to summon and send into the light. “Harold Lassiter, aged eighty-six,” I read from the list of names. “Heart attack. Leaves behind a loving wife, Katherine, and a German shepherd, Goober.” “Maya Hernandez, twenty-one,”…

The Candy Shop
The candy shop showed up near the end of April, planting itself in the abandoned yellow building on the corner of Millard and Oak Grove. By the time May drifted to a close, the boarded-up windows had been washed and lined with pink curtains and someone had planted a garden in front that inexplicably bloomed to life in only four weeks. Mary Elizabeth and I were some of its first customers, though…
