I'm so excited for this newsletter. I got an agent last summer for my "upmarket" novel which we're now revising to lean more suspense. It was dipping its toes into the genre and I didn't even realize it until several agents pointed it out, so I would consider myself a freshman transfer who moved from one or two towns over haha. Can't wait to read more from you two!

My ITYSL friend!!!! So glad you’re here. I didn’t realize you were a writer until now (I recognized your name from your excellent taste in High Art). The “upmarket” “suspense” “literary” “commercial” “thriller” web of words is something Andromeda have emailed about plenty 😵‍💫 it feels made up and yet matters so much to the pros!
