I am closed to unsolicited queries as of April 2, 2022. You can find updates on my current query status on this site, on my QueryManager form, and by following me on Twitter @swindlesoiree. You can find more information on my wishlist and my submissions guidelines. Any queries received at my main contact email will be deleted without being read, as will queries sent via post.
I am available for a select number of events in 2022. I love speaking to people about publishing, teaching, or just books! If you're interested in having me as a part of your organization or event as a moderator, speaker, or evaluator, feel free to contact me at the email above with details. Please note I am only participating in virtual events at this time, and I do require reasonable notice for participation.
