I am starting to query this week. Sending my 105,000-word adult (with crossover appeal) science fantasy into the world. I built a list and I am using excel to track. Any easier tool out there? What do you use to track your queries? #WritingCommunity #writers

Sunday coffee + Brunch. Reading my first chapter for the umpteenth time. My brain keeps waking me up in the middle of the night with little adjustments here and there. I guess you never stop working on a book. #amquerying
