78K - YA/NA Contemporary Romance
4/27/22 - Nicole emailed me to say that she's no longer accepting email queries and to use the form (included link). I feel really stupid, but I'm happy that she didn't toss me aside for that reason alone. Needless to say, I immediately completed the query form.
5/14/22 - Full Request...I just about peed myself after reading the email. Now to keep praying...
I just re-queried via form, and I'm hoping that she forgives me, haha. I'm unsure my book is a perfect fit since she seems to prefer romance, but she did have a sci-fi option, and my book has Christianity in its worldbuilding, so here goes nothing!

Thanks lefthandedwriter. (Though I wish she would unpin her tweet from November saying she is closed.)
Nicole Payne is taking queries
@tnicolepayne
In honor of the start of the new month & my now empty inbox, I am officially opening to queries. Currently looking for adult fiction right now (ie: romantic comedies, romance, adult SFF, thriller/mystery, literary etc) but if you have something from my wishlist, send it my way!
FR: 1/12/22 (sent same day)
Very kind email request where she even apologized for taking so long. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she enjoys my story.
