I’m sad to share that starting Sept 15, I’ll be pausing unsolicited queries through the end of the year 💙 I’m still happy to consider referrals or connect at a conference or pitch events. Thanks for understanding!
Well this was insanely cool to read about my own book. 😳

Today’s writing progress: one sentence.
Today’s life progress: kept everyone alive and fed. I’m calling that a win.

I promise I’m not ignoring your email. I’m just trapped under a precarious tower of...life.

Holidays + deadlines = a vibe. Not a good one, not a bad one, just… a vibe.

Season's greetings, #KidLitArtPostcard day! I’m Mike and I love creating fun, character-driven work, both animal and human!

I'm repped by @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social and am especially looking for middle grade cover work.

I have only been agenting about 3 years and much of my brand prior to agenting was publicly built around kidlit. But I do SO much more! 😊 buff.ly/UvV6FHc

Someone at a conference said, “Comp titles stress me out,” and I was like… SAME. Which is why I wrote the strangest blog post of my entire career: comparing comps to weird Thanksgiving relatives. buff.ly/kuR0Ql2

My two little ones, Eliana and Caladen, are walking, talking (sometimes screaming) reminders that kids are brutally honest, hilariously unpredictable, and full of big emotions in tiny bodies. They’ve changed the way I see picture books and what makes a story work.

Why is it that I can remember a random line I cut 6 months ago but not where my phone is?

A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

You’re not lazy. You’re probably overwhelmed. Big difference.

You can’t be objective about a draft you just finished. Let it rest. Bread dough, brain, same concept! 😅

I'm pretty sad because I was supposed to be able to take much-need time off this month and next, but jury duty, publishing, and life had other plans. Someday, I'll get a vacation!
