I adore Teresa Robeson's books, and when I learned that she was writing a Who HQ Graphic Novel about Bruce Lee, I was so excited to add it to my library.

I learned lots and love this page-turner of a book--you can see my review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

It’s the difference between wanting to be something and wanting to do something. Doing is work, and they’d rather avoid that.

I get why techbros and their ilk like gen-AI: artists and writers to them are just an obstacle to be bypassed. But I'll never get an author/artist/musician who uses it. "I want to be a writer." No you don't. You fetishize ideas but hate the work. You don't respect the craft or its practitioners.

Baltimore readers! I don't have my full book tour schedule yet for THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES, but I want to give you a heads-up about this May 8th event with FREE BOOKS!! Register early to reserve your copy:
calendar.prattlibrary.org/event/kate-m...
Book cover THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES has title text in yellow against a bright blue sky with puffy white clouds and a blurb from Renee Watson that says "Unique, timely, and enthralling." White text at top reads "New York Times Bestselling Author Kate Messner" and the cover art shows a middle school boy with an orange backpack on a mountaintop, with a Bernese mountain dog looking up at him.

I avoid this sort of social content but I have a quick way to improve your book pitch/query letter: cut that rhetorical question at the front that you think is functioning like a pitch line. Just cut it! Any variant of "if XYZ, what would you do" or any other question up top. Remove it and prosper
