Hey friend,

Thanks so much for thinking of me with your project. At the moment, I’m closed to queries.

That doesn’t mean we can’t stay connected. In the meantime, you can:

• Follow along on Instagram for behind-the-scenes publishing talk, blunt truths, and the occasional red-lip pep talk: https://www.instagram.com/jessica__berg/

• Join my newsletter, where almost every Friday I send one messy-but-useful letter about writing, querying, and the publishing world. It’s where I share the good stuff first: https://www.jessicaberg.me/jessicas-notes

I know waiting is tough, but this can also be a great season to polish your draft, rethink your query letter, or just breathe before the next push. I’ll be excited to see what you’ve built when I reopen.

With warmth (and a little tough love),
Jessica
