The cat is out of the bag... I'm an assistant editor!
I am so proud of what I've accomplished at Peachtree and am so grateful to be where I am today.💕
Looking forward to seeing what the future holds (and what lovely manuscripts y'all have for me)!

instead of enemies to lovers, i'm looking for haters to lovers. two people with bad attitudes whose relationship is wholly based off their mutual, yet completely unjustified, disrespect for one another. two people who antagonize each other until it somehow turns into love.

today i accidentally unmuted myself during a Zoom meeting as i was admiring the hardcover of THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH and the entire company heard me whisper “it’s so SHINY” in a voice i can only describe as a cheap imitation of Gollum... so anyway, how’s your Wednesday going?

I am over the moon that Alaa will be joining Peachtree Teen with her heartrending debut. It’s an honor to work with such a talented author on such a special story.
Get ready for a book that will simultaneously destroy AND heal your heart. 💕
My debut novel, IN THE COUNTRY I LOVE, is coming to Peachtree Teen!
The first YA Iraqi Shia book to hit the shelves ❤️
This book is for the kids who struggle with their faith & those who are desperate to cling on to it. And to the refugees trying to find home—wherever it may be

editors and agents who also write -- where do you find critique partners/writer groups?
are they mostly made up of other publishing professionals? are they local to your area? how do you maintain professional boundaries but still have fun writing and forming community? 🧐

nothing takes me out of a story faster than blatant inaccuracies about cats.
a week-old kitten with “big green eyes”? YOU FOOLS! kittens don’t open their eyes until they’re 8-10 days old. their eyes don’t change color for 6 weeks. have we forgotten how to use google?

not only did we get to announce the deal but cass called me INCREDIBLY COOL so i would definitely say today’s the best day of my life
So many people have left their mark on this book—people like my incredibly cool editor,

, and my brilliant, sunshine-y agent,
@AnnaliseErrico
(
@LadderbirdLit
), who both saw straight to the narrative’s heart. I’m so proud to have them on my team.

i cheated and did a side/b side, but i could have done an album per character if i had less self control 🫶🏻

Record Store Day is tomorrow, so what if we all designed album covers and track lists of 5-7 songs for our books and tagged them

? And suggested song additions to each other?

alright, let's see here...
💫 an incredibly pathetic protagonist
💫 two extremist religious cults
💫 twin telepathy
💫 a really important seashell
💫 mama trauma
💫 magic, but the bad kind
💫 blood. like... A LOT of blood. can someone even survive that kind of blood loss?
give a list of absolutely random things one may find in your book (like rummaging in a bag to find your keys)
