Reading #queries this morning and seeing a trend that thrills me:
Southern Gothic!
I love a good Southern Gothic and want to add one to my list.
#JMSQueryBoxTrends
P.S. Almost through Sept queries, still have Oct (and ~1000 more to read), plus a few from earlier that I’m still considering.

Reading #queries this morning and seeing a lot of:
Historical settings (1930s, 1960s, 1990s);
Serial Killers (with a nod to Ed Gein);
And first lines that begin with:
“My name is…”

P.S. I’m still FAR behind in my reading, but I’m trying to catch up. Thanks for your patience!

Querying writers -- Please give yourselves some grace and stop fretting about a few silly typos in your queries. We probably won't notice them, we're not going to hold them against you, and if we DO hold them against you, you don't want to work with us anyway.

I am finding so much joy writing an editorial letter for a new horror novel that excites me in every way.
Her babes are hatching.

Dear #amquerying #querying,
I have fallen a bit behind in my reading and am still working my way through September #queries. If you are waiting to hear from me, that means either (a) you're still in the queue, or (b) I'm considering your project and might request it.
Thanks for your patience!

📦Unboxing my newest picture book GRAY SQUIRREL LOSES IT with my kiddo! There were some bumps along the way, like the cat food dispenser sounding off, but we pressed on and now I’m inclined to make this a tradition. What do you think—should we keep unboxing together?

If the dream is important, try revising it as a scene that happens in real time on the page. It will give your character agency and push the drama forward in an exciting way. #revising

I love reading queries and getting the chance to see into the worlds of many creators, whose perspectives are so very different from my own.
I wish I could respond to you all individually, as I have many thoughts. I don't have time, but please know I appreciate your work and the chance to read it!
