I wrote a picture book manuscript in 2018. I queried it a bunch and had requests from agents for more work, but it ultimately died. 5 years after landing an agent with what became my debut, I resurrected it and today it’s out on sub.

Sometimes “no” just means “not yet.”

Based on pre-registrations, I've decided the retreat will be April 3-5, 2024 at The Hive in Leskard, Ontario (1 hour outside Toronto). The retreat will include workshops, one-on-one coaching, and plenty of writing time. Page and form have been updated! writingcommunity.ca/storiednorth/

RIP Paul.

The West Door at King's College Chapel was opened especially for me tonight so I could take this picture of the sunset over the wildflower meadow - which was nice :) and if you look closely you can see the college cat!
