I have done so many query letter and synopsis critiques this week and there's not a bad one in the bunch. They're all great ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️. I maintain some of the best authors are those unpubbed. Keep going, team !!

@jandrewellis pub marketplace and signing up for a month of publisher's lunch is a brilliant idea. you can search genres and deals and see who reps what. watching pub marketplace and pub weekly deals ALWAYS shows the agent name :) then you just google :)

Victoria, BC has one hell of a wonderful thing going with Planet Earth Poetry! I’ve never experienced a reading series quite like it: the energy is addictive and welcoming and I was so honoured to read with the indomitable Rhea Tregebov—who is as kind as she is talented.
