I couldn't be more thrilled & honored to be mentoring Adult for Pitch Wars this year with my dear friend and fellow debut author Jenny L. Howe! Jenny and I met in 2015 and instantly bonded over writing and chocolate, so our team name of #TeamHotChocolateAndDonuts is quite fitting!

"Pitch Wars is a volunteer-run mentoring program where published/agented authors, editors, or industry interns choose one writer each to mentor. Mentors read the entire manuscript and offer suggestions on how to make the manuscript shine for the agent showcase." (Quoted from the Pitch Wars website)

Stay tuned for Pitch Wars announcements as dates draw near! As past Pitch Wars mentees ourselves, we CANNOT WAIT to greet you & your words with endless enthusiasm!

Our wishlist will be posted on September 11, 2021! Until then, here are some helpful links:

“MAKE THE YULETIDE GAY: SAPPHIC CHRISTMAS ROMANCES”!



Join Helena Greer, Jake Maia Arlow, Courtney Kae, Adriana Herrera, Otoja Abit, and Meka James for a spirited discussion about sapphic Christmas romances! Think Hallmark, but make it gay! With a mix of YA, adult, self-published, and film perspectives, this panel will dive into Christmas stories from a sapphic/queer lens, from the page to the screen, and the need for more sapphic/queer representation in Christmas romance stories. 

In addition to the US and Canada release with Kensington Books, IN THE EVENT OF LOVE will be published in the UK with Headline Eternal in Fall 2022!
