    FYI: the slush pile is not ‘dreaded’ by any of us, it is our job and our privilege to look through submissions that authors have worked very hard to get ready and send us. Keep going, be patient, do your homework and you’ll get there!

    A very heavy heart today. Desperately sad for Sarah, and her family and friends.

    FYI: I am opening to #submissions tomorrow! I am particularly keen to find more MG and YA, as well as new voices in the romance space (both romantasy and contemporary) for new adult/adult readers. Bio here:

    Spending the morning looking through my #submissions and more often than not they're over 100k words. Paper is VERY expensive at the moment, please write shorter books!

    Replying to @TAlanHorne
    Literary agents objectivity is really their subjectivity. They are failed young women writers who are woke and Godless. James Patterson never had a literary agent.
