It's hard to imagine a NYC and publishing without @Janet_Reid, but we're aiming to put her name on a piece of it for good. Thank you to everyone who has shared the ways she made a difference to you. gofund.me/76dc8f35

A little query hiatus coming up for the agency so folks can catch up and dive back in refreshed at the new year!

It’s back to school time over here in publishing and my reading pile has gotten perilously low! Do you write*:
- Spicy fantasy like Anne Bishop
- Stand-alone spec fic like Once and Future Witches and Mexican Gothic

Delighted to be talking books, publishing, and writing in the current moment (what's changed, what's working, did we all get even weirder, or is that just me?) Thursday of #SDCC, with a wonderful lineup of panelists! eventeny.com/events/comiccon…

In her three years working with us we've seen how brilliant, compassionate, and ambitious Alyssa is, and she is more than ready to do great work on behalf of great creators. Thrilled to add another strong agent to our team!
