This is your reminder that literary agents are just people. We aren't always right, and we certainly aren't perfect. I mean, if you've met me in person, you know how weird I am. 😅

I'm not sure if I'll be reopening to queries in the new year publicly. But while that piece is still up in the air, I'm always open via referral, pitches at conferences/events, or online pitch events, etc.

There’s one story from my teaching days that still makes me sweat and laugh every time I think about it. Now it’s part of a new anthology from F-flat Books called Classroom Confidential.
Preorders are open and trust me, mine’s… unforgettable. 😅
