Agent Spotlight & Agent Spotlight Updates

  • Agent Spotlights & Interviews were all edited in 2021. Every year since then, I update some of them. I also regularly add information regarding changes in their agency as I find it. I have been updated through the letter "N" as of 1/2O/2025 and many have been reviewed by the agents. Look for more information as I find the time to update more agent spotlights.

New Year New You Giveaway Hop



Happy New Year Everyone! Today I'm excited to participate in the New Year New You Giveaway Hop hosted by MamatheFox and MomDoesReviews. I hope you had a happy holiday and are looking forward to the new year. I'm looking forward to a good start to my blog schedule with lots of giveaway hops, interesting author interviews and guest posts with book giveaways, and agent spotlight interviews with query critique giveaways. I also picked up more work at my job, which means more money, which is always good. Plus, of course, I have lots of new books I'm looking forward to reading.

Book of Your Choice or Amazon Gift Card Giveaway 

I’ve got a lot of exciting newly released MG and YA book choices this month that you might like. You can also choose another book in the series by these authors or a book of your choice. You can find descriptions of these books on Goodreads. Here are your choices:


































If you haven't found a book you want, you can win a $10 Amazon Gift Card.

To enter, all you need to do is be a follower of my blog (via the follower gadget, email, or bloglovin’ on the right sidebar) and leave a comment by January 15th telling me whether you want a book, and if so, which one, or the Amazon gift card and your email address. Be sure to include your email address. If I do not have your email (I can no longer get it from your Google Profile), you must leave it in the comments to enter the contest. Please be sure I have your email address. 

If you mention this contest on Twitter, Facebook, or other social media sites and/or follow me on Twitter or Bluesky, mention this in the comments and I'll give you an extra entry for each.

Thank you for doing this. I'll try to hop on social media after work to promote this. If Hattie Mae is going spare, I wouldn't mind that one if it's a hardcover. I did a language arts project on that one to model for the 7th graders. You're a better person than I am to host this-- giveaways are exhausting but do encourage engagement! msyingling (at) yahoo
