You don’t know how excited agents get when we receive final files for submission to our translation agents, film agents, etc. Or when sales get announced so we can finally talk abt the amazing books we’ve sold. Agents are book geeks who get to do what we love for a living – read and gush over books!

ICE took the crayons and paper away at the concentration camp for children because the drawings got out.
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

It’s been a year since Future’s Edge was released. Booklist wrote: “Powell, who has two BFSA awards for best SF novel, might need to clear shelf space for a third. His new novel is, to put it simply, marvellous. It’s also a perfect novel to introduce sf readers to this vibrant storyteller.”

I should add that my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders was published last year by @apexmag.bsky.social and has received excellent reviews. If the book starts getting review bombed, yeah, it's probably b/c of these scammers and me posting about this in public. 6/ www.apexbookcompany.com/products/we-...

Book club scams are now threatening authors who don't fall for their BS. In December, I received an email from Herry Sharp, so-called CEO of "Super Book Lover Curator" praising my novella We Who Hunt Alexanders.
Totally AI-generated and a scam so I didn't respond.

Query update: I'm up to 430 now. My promise was a week or to 500 queries (remembering how long it took me to go through 750 the last time). I'm afraid that at this rate, I'll have to close again tomorrow morning at the latest.

As promised, I'm officially open to submissions again - for 1 week or 500 queries, whichever comes first. Because last time when I tried 2 weeks or until 750 queries, I received more than 750 in the first week and had to shut down early. No guarantees it won't happen again.
