My favorite trope not listed here?
An underwater competition đ 𤊠Iâm a sucker for anything with a contest. Maybes thatâs my competitive side coming out? Whatâs your favorite book trope?
â°Iâm accepting beta readers until this Friday! If youâre interested, comment BETA below or DM me!đ
âwant to know more about the book?
MAY WE PLEASE THE SEA is a near-future climate-devastated YA sci-fi set between the flooded worldâs only surviving island and an underwater station of scientists. Itâs got sea gods worshipping cults, an underwater sporting competition, and a world thatâll make you want to jump in the ocean. Think Truman Show meets Ready Player One.
My agent and I will be pitching it to publishers this January!

Looking for an undiscovered read? đ
Iâm taking my book through a round of beta readers before my agent and I pitch it to publishers in January! This is your last chance to read my story before it (đ¤đźhopefully) disappears into the Publishing Machine and pops out as a book 2 years later. đľđť yes, this process is slow.
Iâve only done one other beta round back in 2021, and oh sea slugs has the story evolved since then! I canât wait for you to peek into my dark twisty mind and be like, âah yes, that explains a lot.â
There is action, there is angst. Underwater competitions and creepy sea gods-worshipping cults. Ocean and island settings that will make youâll be like dagnabbit I want to keep reading but I also want to go jump in the ocean. đ
Iâll be gathering beta readers until Friday October 20th, so share this with your reader friends and make it a buddy read! Comment BETA below đ
In the minimal meantime, if you need a good read NOW, check out these awesome YA sci-fi / dystopian faves of mine. Theyâll put ya in the perfect headspace for my book đ :

đGoddess in the Machine, Lora Beth Johnson

I like to âprocrastinateâ with other tasks. Iâm stuck with writing, so yesterday, I wrote my author newsletter. Switching into reflective story-telling mode helps me reset where Iâm at.
Next, Iâll work on my snappy pitch and a plot summary. Usually those are bottom of my interest list, but if they allow me to procrastinate from the writing Iâm stuck on, great, Iâll do those instead!
In the end, it all has to get done. So as long as Iâm pushing something forward, Iâm happy. Iâm moving.
