It's here!! My twisty, queer fantasy about a pair of trans friends-turned-rivals is officially out in the world--It's full of magic, secret passageways, and the kind of want that has teeth and claws, and I can't say what it means to be sharing it.

On #TransDayOfVisibility , I’m elated to share this mind-blowing illustration of Wyatt and Emyr from THE WITCH KING, by @alinalasvegas . Trans artist, trans book, and trans author. Love to see it. Their art will be featured in the preorder campaign, launching 4/20. More soon. 👀

Correction!! I absolutely blanked and put in the wrong domain for my email address--if I liked your pitch, my email is lee.queries @irenegoodman .com! (Serious apologies for any confusion, and major thanks to the person who pointed this out to me)

I'm still closing out the last outstanding queries and manuscripts from IGLA, since I've been working through a backlog. If you're still waiting to hear from me, I can't thank you enough for your patience, and I'll be in touch soon!

This year's #NaNoWriMo18 has been pretty touch and go for me, but I've just validated, and I'm excited to say that there's now 50k words of witch hunters, mirror queens, and lesbian dragon knights that did not exist at the beginning of the month. #amWriting #OhGodIHaveToEditNow

@matokah @sim_kern I've spent all morning trying to figure out how to articulate why this court decision is so frustrating, and I feel all of this. It needed to happen, but it's just so stunningly insufficient.

@SeraphIRenn Thanks for asking! Outside special cases like pitch contests, we're a "one agent at a time" agency, but if she passes, I'd love to see it!

I'm still verifying with the bookstore about requesting masks during the event, so I'll update when I hear, but masks are greatly appreciated!
