I am proud to announce that I am now represented by Adria Goetz of KT Literary!

Over the past month, it has been amazing to work with Adria on my hotel heist thriller graphic novel. I can’t wait to share more about this lovable band of thieves and all their infamous heists. Becoming an agented author has felt like such a monumental step forward toward my dreams, so I’m excited to see where this big step takes me. Hope my work greets you on the bookshelves of the future! 💜

how it feels to finish your manuscript vs how it feels to send a query letter

[screee-ee]

I made this my pen name as a joke after suffering yet another depressive episode during the 3rd complete rewrite of my sci-fi novel and it worked surprisingly well.

I lose my shit every time I scroll to the top, no matter how many times I see it. It isn't even that funny, but the small joys are what keep me going.

Trying to query my satirical take on the superhero genre is a risky pitch for agents. So now, I'm trying to build hype. This book is set around a cynical civilian with sharp wit and a clear disdain for the heroes who cause as much damage to the city as the villains. But when an accidental kiss with the world's greatest hero leads to a fake dating scandal, Katy is brought to 'heroes haven' for her protection. There, she finds documents outlining a corruption lurking within the system. She uses her analytical mind to dismantle the heroes illusion that they're the good guys, fight to bring true justice to the world, and brings the greatest hero into reality. The heroes begin to want to clean up their act for the world, and all seems to be going her way. Little does she know, the true villain in the system has been watching her all along. And now, they're about to prove why Katy is -Not The Hero-.

yooo I need a literary agent

Hiiiii

So im looking for an agent for my boook. Here’s the synopsis: When Scarlett Lorne is ten years old, she watches her parents get murdered in their own home, and her life shatters in a single night. Taken in by a secret organisation called SHADOW, Scarlett is raised and trained to become a weapon, taught to fight, to obey, and to bury her emotions so deep they stop existing. For years, she believes SHADOW saved her and promised her justice, but everything begins to change after a mission goes wrong and she realises she has been lied to. As she starts asking questions she was never meant to ask, Scarlett discovers erased files, hidden surveillance, and a name that was never supposed to exist—Kestrel. With the help of another trainee, she uncovers the truth: her parents were not innocent victims, but SHADOW agents who were killed for trying to expose the organisation’s secrets, and the person she was raised to hate may have been the one who tried to protect them. Now trapped inside the same organisation that destroyed her family, Scarlett must decide whether to continue being the weapon SHADOW created, or risk everything to uncover the truth and take control of her own life. I’m desperately seeking an agent so if you are one, or know one, plssssssssss reach out to me in my Dm’s or [email protected]

I need one that can be there for me and be my person y’know? Also the traditional one that will take their money from my earnings after the book is published
