On to the second draft, Joshua Lavatai #writingcommunity #romcom #romance #lgbtqia #adult #amwriting #amediting

When you shelved a query nearly a year ago because the market didn't seem to want your story, and suddenly get an email from QueryTracker that your yearly subscription was renewed... time to get back into the query trenches, Joshua Lavatai #amwriting #WritingCommunity

I ship #FriCG #CriticalRoleSpoilers

My boys!! Jumping back into the query trenches after a year hiatus. Can't wait to get this in agents' hands!

One day, I might reflect on the querying process with fond memories and affection. Instead, I'm gonna crack open cider #2 and drag Joshua Lavatai into hell with me rewriting this query letter for the twentieth time. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

Not all women are mothers Not all mothers are women Happy day to all of those who love and care for children no matter if you gave birth to them or not ❤️🌹

There is a difference between the intention of our words and the impact of them 👀 #amquerying #WritingCommunity

In other news not querying related...thigh tattoo!

And so it begins. Again. Joshua Lavatai #amwriting #WritingCommunity

#MSWL opening back up for 2024. Query trenches may kill us, Joshua Lavatai. I'm ready to make the span of M/M romantasy & magical realism romcoms grow like they ought to! This is the year for an agent! #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Ah, it me. This is why my dialogue slaps.

Making edits, tweaking query, and running through MSWLs. Back to the querying trenches with us, Joshua Lavatai #amquerying #WritingCommunity

When the insulin pump, doesn't insulin pump 😭😭 so many corrections and everything in me feels like bubbling acid. #t1d

Rereading the query package you used roughly 16 months ago and hating everything about it--that's normal, right? #amwriting #writingcommunity #amquerying

If you have 2 books ready to query, do you query them simultaneously? They differ in genre and age (YA contemp fantasy and Adult rom-com). Should you look for an agent who covers both, just in case? #amquerying #writingcommunity

Happy PRIDE! I can't wait to get our queer stories into the world, Joshua Lavatai. 🤍🩷🩵🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #amwriting #amquerying
