The realities of being an Instagram poet
thebookseller.com – Thursday August 13, 2020
I have been writing poetry most of my life. Encouraged by my English teacher as a child, I used writing as a way of dealing with emotions, anxiety and, as I grew older, with heartbreak.
In February 2019, I decided to set up an Instagram page on the advice of a friend, who thought the platform would be a good place to share my poetry. It’s fair to say I was dubious at first, particularly given the fact that Instagram is such a visual medium; not a platform one would assume would be a good fit for the written word.
But I took his advice and began to publish one or two short poems every day, in the hope that a handful of people may enjoy it. Eighteen months later, I have over 98,000 followers and I’m on the third print run of my self-published debut collection, Tell the Birds She’s Gone. My second book, Beekeeper, is released on September 8th, 2020, and pre-orders are already going well.

Seeking everything from heartfelt or humorous picture books (she has a soft spot for animal protagonists) to dynamic, unpredictable YA (she loves a good murder mystery or a clever rom-com).
New Literary Agent Listing: Viola Hayden
firstwriter.com – Wednesday August 12, 2020
I am looking for confident writing that puts me at ease from the first page; a captivating voice or character, an exciting style, an unusual structure, an original premise or fresh take. A book that can’t be replicated. If you have written a book like that – fiction or non-fiction – then it’s on my wish list.
INQUE, a Literary Magazine Forging a New Path in Publishing
anothermag.com – Tuesday August 11, 2020
What could – and indeed, should – a magazine look like in 2020? That was the question British publishing veterans Dan Crowe and Matt Willey asked themselves when their latest collaboration, INQUE – a large-format literary magazine launched last month – was in its nascent stages. As the founders of Avaunt and Port magazines (at the latter, Crowe is editor and publisher) they were all too familiar with the traditional magazine model; the reliance of advertisers to fund the printing and distribution of a magazine, and the way that such partnerships impact the content inside the pages.

I am currently looking for middle-grade, young adult, and adult horror novels; narrative memoirs, especially from BIPOC communities; lush, dark, speculative science fiction and fantasy for young adult and adult readers; YA fantasy, especially adaptations of non-Western folklore and mythos, or interpretations of Western folklore/mythos centering nontraditional protagonists; and short story collections of LGBTQ+ fiction. I am also accepting graphic novel pitches that fall within the above genres, as well as graphic narratives meant to teach complex skills and/or practical information.
