This is one of those books that reminds you of the thrilling feeling of finding a work you love--and a writer kind enough to go on the journey with you. Honored to work with you, Amy.
Happy to announce … I’ve tunneled my way out of the query trenches and am now represented by the amazing @Jsinsheim at @ContextLiterary! (Pretty sure this is actually happening outside of my head.) Can't wait to launch to Mars with my upmarket sci-fi debut. 🚀

THE MIDNIGHT CLUB explores that innate desire to revisit our first loves, our biggest mistakes, and the gulf between who we are and who we hoped we’d be. 🕰
@jsinsheim
We love all the buzz THE MIDNIGHT CLUB by @MargotFHarrison is getting! 🎉
@audible_com included it as one of its top listens for fall 🎧and @bustle's round up said: “It’s eerie and suspenseful, but fundamentally a poignant look at grief, regret, and friendship.” 😱
@jsinsheim
Drumroll...🥁 @jsinsheim is open to queries!
If your manuscript is ready and you think it would be a good fit for Jessica's #mswl, view our submission guidelines here: contextlit.com/submissions
Thrilled to talk with client Ted Fox on his Working Drafts podcast about author-agent creative collaboration, showing up for your life and work, and how escapist television lead to a serious book project: thetedfox.com/podcast 📚✏️☕
I was reading a manuscript last night that featured a very vivid scent of roses. 🌹
Now, out in the world, there’s a rose scent in the air—and I thought immediately of her work.
They talk about scent as memory—do we think it could work this way too?
We know that imagining an image “lights up” (via a PET scan) the same areas of the brain as would be activated when actually seeing it.
Do we think imagining a scent “lights up” similar areas, too, and we can get scent impressions this way? We know scent is linked to memory!
Anyway, yes, this is your daily dose of Jessica wishing she had funding for neuroscientific studies of how reading affects our minds.
And yes, I would love to (safely, comfortably, if claustrophobically) monitor a willing agent’s brain while reading submissions.
Thrilled to announce that my book, THE VICTORIA PROJECT, will be published by Canary Street Press next year. I’ll be working with the amazing Cat Clyne! Very grateful for @jsinsheim and the team at @contextliterary! #bookdeal
In case you missed it…we're so excited to share an adult debut by @MargotFHarrison! 🎉
A campus reunion novel with a speculative twist, about a group of estranged college friends who experiment with a secret substance that allows them to relive their memories. 🕛
@jsinsheim
Thanks @ericafinkel for the great chat on @MSWLMA ! I loved hearing about the acquisition process from an editor's perspective. Good to remember that taking on a MS means an editor wants to read it over and over and over. 📚💕🔁
Can you believe that Context turns 5 this month!? 🎉
