PLEASE vote in local elections–mayors (of small towns, even), board members, etc. They have a direct effect on your life AND are currently the last line of defense against destructive federal policies. In many places so few people vote for city council etc. that your 1 vote can change the result

I constantly see newer writers assuming that a critique has to be "brutal" or "ruthless" to be effective. The pros know the opposite is true: a critique has to be HONEST to be effective, and sometimes the truth is...pretty nice actually?
They won't buy your story if there's nothing good about it.

This is a great time to escape into a book and ALSO an absolutely critical time to support the kind of books you want to keep seeing in the world by showing publishers they can still sell!
Here are some of my favorite escape reads pubbed within the past year or so—what are yours? (More in thread!)

The new hotness is review spammers using "AI" to synopsize one's new novel to make it look they read your book and can offer you a useful service

$1.5 billion sounds like a lot of money, but keep in mind that Anthropic just raised $13 billion in its latest fundraising round and is valued at $183 billion

Missouri friends, this inclusive bookstore and coffee shop in Maryville is in its final days of fundraising and has just under $4000 to reach its goal, I think it would be great to see this get funded! There are some cool queer books up for rewards as well as bookmarks, stickers, totes, and mugs!
