Sliding Doors x Expiration Dates

When Lucy is blindsided by a Jumbotron proposal, her answer(s) fracture her future in two...

Dropping my brand-new #EditorsGuide for #QueerPit

Editors: on sub soon-- making our sub list now!

Background: a blurred image of Atlanta traffic with a highway converging in two paths.
Text: An Editor’s Guide to The Fractured Life of Lucy Hughes. Book Club Fiction. 85,000 words.

Background: tan linen
Heading: Pitch.
Text: When Lucy is blindsided by a Jumbotron proposal, her answer(s) spawn alternating versions of the next year…

In one, her refusal implodes her relationship—and when the Jumbotron video goes viral, her job and her privacy are collateral damage. In the other, Lucy finds the stability she has been searching for since her mother’s addiction left her bouncing around foster homes…but marriage to the heir of a Southern political dynasty might mean a lifetime compromising her morals.

Both versions of Lucy must find her voice, forgive herself for making the ‘wrong’ decision, and reckon with the way her childhood trauma has shaped her adult relationships if she is going to create a future where she can be her full, authentic self and find the family she’s been searching for.

Background: Tan Linen
Heading: What to expect

Well, the rabbit's out of the PM bag! I have a lot of thoughts on what it means at last to be fulfilling the dream I've nurtured since I was 7 years old, but for right now I'm afraid all I have for you is the mental image of me flapping in a circle while I shout, I'M GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!

Publishers Marketplace Deal Report for THE BONE BRIDES, by Marley Rose-Teter. Imprint: Page Street. Marley Rose-Teter's THE BONE BRIDES, pitched as Howl's Moving Castle by way of Guillermo del Toro, in which a girl must save her changeling girlfriend from a terrifying faerie realm before they both end up trapped in skins not their own, to Lauren Knowles at Page Street, for publication in fall 2026, by Hannah Andrade at Bradford Literary Agency (world English).

The PM announcement is decorated with a border image showing a moody autumnal forest and some cute skeleton bunnies.

I don’t doubt that for a second

This is heartbreaking and appalling. Do better.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident"

I try so hard to curb this, but… 🤷‍♀️😂My agent is frequently the recipient of my unhinged emailing, and when that happens I’m so glad they also have ADHD and are unfazed by it. 😂

We didn’t even make it a week without getting hit. Brutal. Hope y’all are well again quickly.

My parents are probably mourning the death of James Dobson today, but I wouldn’t know for sure because I haven’t spoken to them in two decades.

Yum!

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

The alligator attack at Disney. I totally remember that. I remember thinking those parents were from somewhere up north--the midwest, I think?--and would have not had the context to understand how dangerous gators are and would assumed DISNEY was safe. It was so sad and that woman was WILD.

I’ve spent the vast majority of my life as either a student or a teacher. The end of summer is absolutely the end of my year and time for my big annual reset.

On the contrary, this sounds like an excellent reason to follow you!

If you are the type of person who watches videos on your phone at full volume in a quiet parents' waiting room where everyone else is silently working on their laptops, please know that you are universally hated.
