Dear editors! If you love fresh historical fiction with a sassy young MC challenging the status quo and willing to do anything to change her circumstances, all wrapped in a banter-y fake relationship with a handsome forward-thinking MMC, contact my agent!

I can't stress this enough—there will always be someone doing better than you. If you're bitter about people getting agented while querying you'll be bitter on sub when others get book deals. An agent won't change this. It's all internal work and accepting you're on your own path
