My first agented titles are hitting all the milestones ahead of publication, which is exciting, but strangely, seeing them up for preorder at the Swiss bookshop I grew up with is the one that hits hardest

I absolutely loved this one, seriously a rec!
New Review - Witch Queen Rising, by Savannah Stephens (pub by @gollancz.bsky.social) is an excellent debut, a Southern Gothic fantasy novel that at its core is about finding your place without renouncing to what you are while healing from the past.
