Dear Authors,

Due to an unexpected plot twist involving an avalanche of queries, I am currently buried under a mountain of manuscripts, synopses, and hopes. Like any good protagonist, I shall persevere, but for now, my inbox is a locked room mystery — no new entries, please.

I will resurface, blinking heroically into the sunlight, in a few months (hoping for January). Until then, keep writing bravely and querying boldly (just not to me for the moment).

If you have already queried me, never fear - yours is one of the ones I am looking at in the coming months.

Yours in metaphorical survival,

Mindi St. Peter
