Writers, especially those who write kidlit, I think we need to have a conversation about using parents not telling their child something to “protect them” and why this doesn’t really work especially today.
Does this happen? Yes. And do we see it continuing to happen? Yes.

Do you like books about liminal spaces, with lyrical prose? Books with heroines determined to rewrite their stories even if they have to throttle the narrative? How about sapphic books with lots of yearning, dark humor and lots of skeletons?

How about ALL the above in one book? 😈

Inbox trend I’m noticing in romance:
The two love interests have the same first letter in their name; and while this might not seem like a problem, when all one knows of the story is the query and synopsis it’s hard to remember who is who and things get confusing fast. Do w/ this info what you will

Do NOT waste your time with this one. It’s terrible! And not in a good way—it’s so bad it’s good. It’s just bad. 👎🏻

I'm sorry but publishing is bananas! 3 days a week in person in NYC for $16.50 an hour? Where is this person living? Pennsylvania?

Here's another XTwitter scammer account outed by geolocation--this one refers writers to a (real) literary agent with a fake address, then impersonates the agent to recommend "professional editor" services

I've now heard from 3 authors targeted on X by a scammer impersonating Lois McMaster Bujold. Bujold impersonator refers author to "Eleanor Wood at Spectrum Literary", also an impersonation. Goal: to sell editing svcs. Scam is impersonating multiple authors & agents writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

I feel attacked
I regret to inform you that the only way to finish your novel is to keep writing.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the dot on the top of the book means it was counted as a return to the publisher, right?

The holiday season is upon us and so I need all the holiday movies that have publishing as any aspect in the story. MC is a writer. Secondary character wants to write a book or be an illustrator or is an editor or agent… please list that movie here.

Reading queries on the elliptical and noticing some trends I thought I’d share with y’all
Enemies to lovers
Assassin/serial killers (in all shapes sizes and genres)
MC’s who are authors and have writer’s block (many of them just finding out their partner has cheated and broken up)
