Many congratulations to R.N. Swann! I loved the voice of IN CASE I GO MISSING when it came into our inbox. It's a tightly plotted mystery, but it's also a moving story about coming of age and friendship in a small town. Truly special.

Congratulations @MelissawritesYA! I read this in one sitting when it came into my query inbox - I'm so thrilled that she has found incredible champions on both sides of the Atlantic. A deeply romantic and magical reimagining of Tristan and Isolde.

10 years ago I was still stuck in the query trenches (lost & confused). Here’s a few things I’ve learned about writing/publishing in the past decade 🧵
1. Resilience. Rejection is part of the job. It gets easier. It’s not that your work isn’t good it’s that it isn’t a good fit.
ALT An old battered copy of Writers’ & Artists’ Yearbook 2010 (red cover). Wood table backdrop.
