One of my favorite poems of all time is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. In fact, Robert Frost is my most favorite American poet - see the Outsiders and Stay Gold.

So excited to announce that Lindsay Bandy’s Historical YA NEMESIS AND THE SWAN sold to Blackstone Publishing!! Lindsay’s publishing journey is truly one of perseverance and one I hope she will share with all of you. And I think one that proves that every publishing path is different. CONGRATS Lindsay!

Be sure to check back in the coming days for lots of news and such! Query updates. As of June 18, I have responded to all queries. I do still have quite a few I am still considering and multiple requests and submissions, so if you have not received a response from me then I am reading through those now. And WOW do I have some great material in my query box! So I will be closing to queries at midnight June 18, 2019 so I can get all caught up. If you don’t get your query in, never fear, I’ll be reopening in July!

Announcements first! I will be reopening to queries TOMORROW April 1, 2019. And no, it’s not an April Fool’s Day joke. I’ll post my recent wishlist at the end of the post. Second announcement!

Hello all! I will be journeying up to my alma mater hometown of Knoxville, TN next Thursday, August 2 to speak on writing for the romance market, talking about craft techniques and successes of the genre that can apply to any writing venture. I hope to see new faces and old friends as well. The event is open to all, though you may need to register for a free ticket. They do ask for a small donation at the door to offset the organizations costs and to enter for door-prizes. I will be bringing a basket of writing and romance goodies for the door-prize!! For more information visit Knoxville Writers…

I am officially open to queries again. My wishlist is updated bother here and on the agency website, though what I’d love to see hasn’t changed too much. You can always check #MSWL for those more spur-of-the-moment things I’d love to find. I will only accept queries through QueryManager. You can find my submission guidelines on the Corvisiero Literary Agency submission page or here on my submission information page as well. I look forward to reading fabulous queries.

All queries have been responded to!! Woot! If you queried and didn’t receive a response feel free to resubmit your query when I reopen on February 14th on my Query Manager Page. If you sent requested material to the general query box as directed, from #DVPit or #Pitmad or a conference, I do have the material to review and will be responding soon! Now on to requested material!
