Am I crazy or is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds an amazing show?! Just found this gem & have been bingeing! Why do I want a fantasy or sci-fi character with a male romantic lead w/a personality like Spock and a forbidden romance for him? #amquerying #amediting #writerscommunity

Sadly, one of the main reasons I might reject a partial even though the synopsis paints a great story… check out this older but still relevant article. #WritingCommunity #writer #amwriting #amediting #amquerying

Watching the movie Gattaca. An excellent reminder that “dystopian” can really stretch boundaries and can reach beyond what became the norm for such books. #amwritingfiction #WritingCommunity

@byleahjohnson I’m ashamed of adults who shame adults who read YA. It’s not an easy genre to write well. You don’t “write down” to a younger audience & it’s a difficult line to straddle. YA authors should be more celebrated for getting that just right. One of my fave pleasure reads!
