New Announcements for the New Year: Time to Redecorate

Toward the end of last year, I mentioned I planned to make some changes here on the website moving forward. Given how infrequently I blog, it makes sense to shift gears. This site will continue as an informational hub from now on. I plan to maintain the archive of posts, but in future things will be more news/announcement focused.

What does that mean? This site will remain your go-to spot for finding out what I’m looking to take on/represent, and where I’m traveling once the world opens up and we start to see in-person conferences again. If I’m teaching online, I’ll include that information here. Plus, announcements about TKA clients, book covers, and so on.

What’s going away? Anything that feels like an actual blog post. It doesn’t make sense to maintain a blog if I only write occasionally.

Instead, I’ve started a newsletter for anyone interested in the more personal side of publishing life. I plan to chat about the industry, books, reading, and writing, plus likely a bit of cultural overlap. Whatever I’m feeling passionate about at the moment. Right now the goal is two issues per month, directly to your inbox. The first post is up, so if you’d like to check it out and/or subscribe, you can find me over on Substack at Tempest in a Teacup.

One last announcement for now: Queries reopen on February 21st. I’ll likely update the wishlist here right before reopening.

Mini Blog Hiatus

Greetings, all! First, a quick apology for the lack of Friday Links this past week. Things have just gotten incredibly busy recently, both on the work and the life front, and while I’ve known for a while that I’ve been letting this blog slide, last week just confirmed that I need to take a little bit of a break.

I love blogging here and I love pulling together a collection of links to share with you all based on my readings over the week, but at the moment I’m juggling a few too many commitments and something needs to give. So, I’ll be going quiet here for a few weeks until I get past some of the projects currently demanding my attention. I really don’t anticipate it being a long time — two or three weeks at most — and then I’ll be back and hopefully up to speed again.

Thanks for your understanding! Keep making time to write and enjoy great books, and I’ll see you again some time in September.
