And now I can FINALLY share.....
In the fall of 2018 I had an idea for a mini passion side project that quickly turned into something MUCH bigger. I knew nothing about the "querying trenches” or the publishing industry. Luckily, literary agent Jessica Alvarez took a chance on me and I signed with BookEnds Literary agency this summer. Getting a literary agent can take many years so I know how fortunate I am that Jessica saw my vision. I spent nearly all of 2019 tweaking my book proposal to send out to publishing houses.
And then it happened. Within 24 hours of sending my idea into the world, we got an offer. Then two. My dream publisher Mountaineers Books has bought my book! I signed the contract today and I’m so incredibly grateful.

Those close to me know that 2019 was one of the toughest of my life. Social media tends to just show the highlight reel of our best days. 2019 gave me a range of EVERYTHING. All I want to say is if you are in the midst of tough times, keep plugging away at your dreams. Because sometimes they actually happen (faster than you can believe). Cheers to new opportunities and if you don’t see me as much this year… I’m writing my book 📖!
