Publishing Things

  • Who is your literary agent?
    • I’m represented by the fabulous Moe Ferrara at Triada US Literary Agency.
  • Will your books be published in x country or in x language?
    • Unfortunately, this isn’t up to me, but I would love to see my books in other countries and translated into other languages!
  • I’m an author, too! Can you blurb my book?
    • Maybe! For blurb requests, please contact my agent.
  • I wrote this really cool book that I think you might like! Could you read it and give me feedback?
    • Unfortunately, probably not! But there are plenty of ways to connect with other writers who may be able to read your book and offer you the feedback you’re looking for. Try checking out the #writingcommunity hashtag on Twitter and see who’s looking for beta readers and critique partners!
  • Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
    • It’s really important to read in the genres you plan to write for, so read whatever books you can get your hands on! It’s also really important to remember that publishing is marathon, not a sprint, and it’s never too late / you’re never too old to write and publish a book!
