I've requested 7 manuscripts since Monday & am about to request 4 more. Talk about #querywin! You all are taking 2017 seriously. I love it!

Today I requested a manuscript that I gave notes on almost 6 months ago, and was thrilled to see back in my inbox. That's a #querywin!

What a good day for stories. Read a great MS this week and got some intriguing queries in my inbox. I quite like my job. :) #querywin

Both have smart sentences, characters behaving badly, and play with our ideas of what's real. But they're SO different. Very cool. #QueryWin

Crikey. Agent yes mode is a THING. Just requested two very different, very smart, very quirky novels. Can't wait to read more. #QueryWin
