Dear AgentBuddyBro, Literary Agent of maybe-me, Eyyyy,

I’m Holly Baldwin! I write what I guess I’m calling “optimistic post-dystopian speculative with aliens.”

If you want vibe, think about a ~modern science fiction book, right? The kind you query a science fiction agent with. Then think about being a science fiction agent and expecting the full of the book with aliens you requested to be a ~modern science fiction book, as you and your god understand that, and then you get that full and it is not.

Now, as a science fiction agent, write back to me in your head about how I can’t just write a sad-ass trauma recovery focused “SF” book. There’s gotta be more science fiction shit happening if there’s aliens, have I considered moving the first big violence to like, page two? Maybe cutting all this……….. other stuff? Like the writing is good enough but what am I doing? What genre is this??

It’s what I wanted to read, bro!

That is why I write em. Honestly, everything I’ve ever written has absolutely started with me bitterly slamming the keys and muttering to myself about how pissed I am I can’t just read this book. And just gotta say, it’s not really that unique! Like! We all been loving those trauma recovery focused alien stories for years, c’mon!

Please?

Anyway. As of yesterday, my rep is Ciara Smith at Spencerhill Associates. She gets it, it’s all good now, lolllll

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION!

Sincerely,

Meeee

PS: I would go to one of those giant warehouses that sell like old doors and bathtubs and shit.
