pitch for THE BETTER MOTHER, now on sub! All Savannah wants is to form a friendly coparenting relationship with her ex-fling Max. But he’s with Madison now, and she has much more sinister plans in mind. Because that baby should be hers.

@EmmaBloorBooks
Maybe search on Publishers Marketplace and see when the deal was announced? Sometimes books don’t come out for 2 years after the deal is signed. That would give you an idea of how long ago this author wrote it. I hope it’s not the case! 🫶

Dreaming up names for my characters has to be one of the most fun parts of writing a novel. Think of all the unique, off-the-wall, quirky, trendy names you might have loved to have, or give to your kids, and let your imagination just run wild, right?

Is Max a good guy, or a bad guy? He cares about Savannah, his former fling who is now pregnant with his child. But he's already back together with his ex, Madison. Savannah is saying horrible things about Madison--that she's stalking her, and trying to ruin her life.

A lot of agents ask for a synopsis - they want to see the full arc of your story. That way if they like your sample pages, they can read the full synopsis and get an idea of where it goes from there, and what kind of ending you have.

I have reason to believe an amazing agent I would DIE to work with is *undecided* about my query. I can't even begin to explain how crazy that feels. The fact that she didn't just automatically reject is unbelievable! Like, seriously, I can't believe it. My chest has this crazy

I’ve never really read many short stories or novellas but I found it incredibly satisfying! Sometimes we’re so busy, it’s nice to read a story as full as this one in a day. <My 5-star review of When We Were Friends: A Short Story by Jane Green>
