i recently left my literary agent, and im querying again. leaving your literary agent is never easy, but i knew i had to do what was best for me and my career. if anyone has questions about leaving their agent or just want to vent my dms are always open๐
this time last year i left my first literary agent. i knew it was the right decision for my career, but i was beyond scared. it was an extremely low time in my life.
now i have an agent i love and Iโm so beyond excited about my writing career.
so much can happen in a year ๐
i canโt believe i get to announce that iโm now represented by
@gyamfia_o
and
@nurnberg_agency
! iโm so excited to work with her on my YA murder mystery that has reality tv show contestants trapped on an island ๐ (along with all my other projects that come after it!)

#writersoftwitter
! Iโm Bella! Iโm currently editing my YA thriller that has messy reality tv show contestants trapped on a tropical island with a killer on the loose. i would love to make more writing friends ๐ซถ๐ป
enemies to lovers but theyโre stuck in a time loop and forced to work together to find the murderer, but theyโre much better at killing each other than finding clues.

finally posted the query letter that led to me signing with my second literary agent. when i was querying, reading other authorโs letters were SO helpful, so i hope this helps ๐
when i left my first agent i had felt embarrassed, but there is nothing embarrassing about doing what is right for you and your career. iโm going to try and talk about it more in case it helps anyone in a similar situation (as ik that would have helped me)๐
I finally submitted to

! Sent in a YA contemporary filled with fashion, tarot cards, and friends to lovers. Good luck to everyone else who applied :)

โจiโm a uni student who writes queer YA contemporaries! im currently editing my
#pitchwars
book, ITโS IN HIS CARDS, which has fashion, tarot cards, and friends to lovers.
one reason Iโm proud of myself for writing a YA murder mystery is because i really didnโt think I could due to my OCD. During the time I was drafting it I had really bad harmful intrusive thoughts (if u know u know) and i was so scared to do it cause of my triggers. but i did it!
the way that i have like no grad photos cause my dad zoomed in awkwardly on all of them so anyways surprise i graduated a few days ago with an english lit & philosophy degree

When Constance is cast on a popular dating show, all she wants is to get over her ex. Only, the plane crashes on an island and a contestant mysteriously gets killed. If she doesnโt figure out whose responsible sheโs next.
