Periodically, I have a little seethe over the fact children’s books are often treated as lesser, but when you ask people about the book that had the most impact on them it’s nearly always a book they read as a child

It breaks my heart when people resend their queries with a small error, profusely apologising for their 'unforgivable mistake.' Guys it's ok agents are just people, I for one am not going to cast you out of my inbox because of a typo😅

Annual tweet of bafflement about the constant snobbery surrounding funny books for kids. They have ultimate power to make readers out of reluctant readers, and surely we all agree on the power of reading to create a more empathetic society. PLS LET YOUR KIDS READ FOR FUN I BEG U

Your periodic reminder that agents go through just as much rejection as writers! Sometimes books we adore don’t sell, sometimes authors of manuscripts we fall in love with sign with someone else, and every time we are 💔 💔 💔

As an agent the publishing process can become so normalized for me but God, it's really impressive to have written a book isn't it. Stringing like 100k words together in an entertaining, meaningful way. Authors give yourselves a pat on the back 😅

This is what I love most about our job - that anyone, anywhere in the world can send me a story and if I love it we can work together to make it into a book! - so this misconception always makes me sad
I’m always surprised at the number of people who think we find most of our writers via referral. 90% of my list is, and continues to be, writers I have found in the ‘slush pile’, and I can’t see that ever changing!
