It's rough putting yourself out there (hello fellow #amquerying authors) but it's so damn nice to have friends read your work, give you valuable feedback, & understand your art.

Love this rad agent guide @ambucsaru.bsky.social put together 🩵🩵

Pausing on writing to create art I can wear. My procrastination is on full display but I can probably cobble together something presentable in a day 🤞

With this novel, I've decided I won't obsess. It's good. I like it. It's edited and workshopped and beta read. I'm not going to constantly stress about the minute details.

So I sent queries to all my fav agents. And as I wait, I peek at the first page...the first sentence...the first word...

I am ready to scream from the rooftops about Ana's amazing novel -- it's dark and riveting with so many twists that are both thrilling and heart-wrenching. Such a unique fantasy & I absolutely love it 🖤🖤🖤
Most of my CPs don't have bluesky (yet?), but a BIG shoutout to @renaerhoads.bsky.social and @literallypaul.bsky.social for the amazing feedback and to the rest of Unhiged (who I met in AMM 2021)! I would not be here without my writing group!

(Stressing the importance of community)
#RevPitWaiting day 15!

With #revpit 10queries starting to pop up, this is a great chance to give a shoutout to someone who helped you with your QP or MS!

Did anyone post their query on r/pubtips? Do you have any great beta readers or critique partners?

Resources to share?

This is not what the people want -- this is a travesty. The statehouse was packed, Democratic representatives gave impassioned speeches and pleas from constituents, local businesses stood up for transgender civil rights, and yet, here we are.

It's a dark day for Iowa.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Me to my teen: Listen to this song I'm using for my runway piece

My teen: Oh cool. It's from Rick & Morty

Me: No... it's Blonde Redhead

Teen: Rick & Morty

Me: 😶

For anyone who needs a reminder, billionaires don't become billionaires magically--they get wealthy off of all of us.

It's hard right now, it's overwhelming by design. But here's the thing, they're the minority. Start the easiest form of resistence today--do not give them more of your money.

Not sure how many agents have found this little oasis in the current hellscape, but I threw out a couple pitches for #2025pit today ✨️

Cheers to all the amazing pitches! I'm leaning back into writing--preferring on page demons to the ones in the news. Anyone else here querying YA or horror?

WHALEFALL x HOUSE OF HOLLOW
Imogen’s youth died the day her mom did, but she can’t cut and run from her small town until she figures out what mystery affliction is killing her peers—especially when her own blood mutates to a freakish shade of blue.

Favorite writing podcast? Looking to branch out beyond TSNOTYAW (craving more!) Had to quit one I intermittently listened to bc they crossed the "some AI is ok" line 🙄. I have some fabulous bookish ones already, leaning more towards craft.
