Someone is impersonating me using a fake email [email protected] to request manuscripts. THIS IS NOT ME! I do NOT use Gmail for submissions. Don't send them your manuscript. Please share to protect other writers. DM me if this person has contacted you.

Writers, following submission guidelines is really important. Every literary agency has different requirements, and some agents may not even consider your work if you don’t follow them. Take the extra time to double-check what each agent wants before hitting send. #WritingTips

I’m so excited to read this book! I absolutely love anything about pirates & I have been dying to represent a book about a badass female pirate. If anyone has manuscripts in this vein, please send them to me. Adult or YA. Based on real figures is a huge plus!

Writers & literary agents: SCAMMERS are impersonating agents to deceive & defraud writers and steal intellectual property. I put together a LinkedIn post explaining how to report these scams. Please share to help protect the writing community lnkd.in/p/eX6d4Dbr

⚠️ AUTHOR SCAM ALERT: Someone is STILL impersonating me and contacting authors pretending to be me. Please be careful & share with other writers! Any email claiming to be from me that comes from a Gmail account is NOT legitimate. That account has been reported to authorities.

I’m thrilled to be participating in Industry Engagement Day presented by @TheWritingBarn on July 18th. I’ll be on the Picture Book Palooza II panel & I’m providing written manuscript critiques. Best of luck to everyone!

This is the first & only screenwriting competition I’ve entered & I advanced to the quarterfinals! I love agenting & helping writers, but I also ❤️ writing myself. Screenplays are so different from novels, so I’m thrilled to have successfully adapted to a new storytelling format.

I’m still actively looking for MG, YA or adult fiction with a female baddie main character. Think female pirate, shield maiden, valkyrie, warrior queen, mythological goddess, bandit or outlaw. Bonus points for horror. #writingcommunity

It is with a heavy heart that I share that my sweetest, cutest, fluffiest client has crossed the rainbow bridge. Suzy's legacy will live well beyond her mortal years. She touched so many hearts & inspired countless adoptions. Rest in peace, sweet girl. 😢sourcebooks.com/a-stray-dog-…

Writers Beware, THIS IS NOT ME! Someone is impersonating me. Do not send them your manuscripts or any money if they ask. #WritingCommunity #WritersBeware.

DM me if this person has contacted you. I'm taking legal action.

It was a pleasure to join yesterday's AALA panel “The Landscape & Legalities of Work-for-Hire.” We covered everything from ghostwriting & developmental editing to IP, contracts & industry standards. As an agent, ghostwriter & member of the Copyright Committee, I was glad to help!
