There's no right way to success. Getting an agent *may* mean success. Getting to acquisitions*may* mean success. Going it on your own *may* mean success. But YOU are successful because YOU did the thing. Eff the path. You forge your own path. That's success.

We’re so excited to all have copies of THE IMPOSTER by Laura Bower and Kerisa Greene by Gnome Road Publishing! Get your copy today!

Loving the touches of spring, everywhere I look. 🌸

I'm thrilled at the opportunity to work with Gnome Road Publishing AND the amazing team of Chantelle and Burgen again!! OWLS MAKE TERRIBLE TEACHERS (the sequel to ALPACAS MAKE TERRIBLE LIBRARIANS) is coming in Spring 2026! 💖🦉

Some additional hope for the #amquerying crowd:

Just because you don't get multiple offers doesn't mean that your book won't sell.

My client received one offer: mine. We did a round of revision, went on submission, and sold the book at auction.

✨One can do the trick! ✨
