I received over 300 queries last week. 😊 That’s a lot of beautiful creativity, and I’m thankful for each of you giving yourself to the world through your art. #amagenting
What I love most about going through submissions is that moment when a story just clicks and I can't wait to read more!

Didn't make a sale today but this was one of my best days as an agent. Because I served several clients really well. #amagenting #theseymouragency
#MSWL As Summer gets closer, I would love to read a sweet YA contemporary novel with romance, friendship, the beach and ice-cream🤩🌞🍨

UPDATE on reading/queries! Over the past 6 weeks I got over 1300 queries! Ppl can smell new blood I suppose. While I have gone through so many, this next week I am dedicating to submissions. The oldest queries in my box are only 3 weeks, so everyone new hang tight #amagenting
I am really sad to see #WritingCommunity #amagenting posts that talk about rejections from agents that say you are wasting their time. I just want to say, your submissions are NEVER wasting my time. I am proud of each and every one of you for completing a novel and sending it out
I'm excited to share that I will be opening to queries again on 10/5! My guidelines are on the StormLiteraryAgency website. #amagenting
If you keep knocking on the door and no-one is answering find someone with a key. There’s still lots of time to enter our children’s bedtime story competition. Be brave - go for it! #amwriting #amagenting #mg #ya #pb chat #WritingCommunity #pb #kidlit #writerslife
This week, three titles on the NYT list at the same time. A first for me.
Just another reason why I love my job-these unexpected moments.
Thank you, Readers, for loving my clients' books as much as I do.
Hand over heart.

As I have reopened to submissions, I guess it’s time to re-up some everlasting, evergreen query guidelines, which I find apply to almost all agents and DEFINITELY me. A thread! #querytip #amagenting #WritingCommunity
Time for an updated #MSWL thread! 🧵

It's a little past 30 minutes past midnight and I am still working. Anyone who ever said following your dreams was so easy clearly didn't follow their dreams for long enough haha. I also have 50+ plus tabs open on my browser, hope it doesn't crash! #amagenting
