Gina! Hi!! Yes! Tho I shared the first pitch and then got busy with other things.

Would love to hear your thoughts, btw. xox

It made me so happy to hear it. Community means many things. 😍

Absolutely bizarre. I'm not in the US, so I don't seem to be affected in the same way. Either way, I'm following you here, too.

Maybe it was using the word "penetrate"? Or the whole show for women thing?

The scary/funny/frustrating part is OPUMB could refer to so many different people.

I agree on both accounts. My sci-fi book also has Jewish/Iranian characters but it's not central to the story.

I've been slowly querying but I'm going to speed up now that I just finished a large project.

And thank you for amplifying us!

Gracias! I'm finishing a draft of a sci-fi YA book that takes place in Argentina 300 years into the future.

I'm querying another YA that takes place in the modern Orthodox Jewish community. This is quote a time to be querying a Jewish book but onward!

What about you?

Hey Brandi! I'd love to be included in your Jewish women's Starter Pack, too. xo

Me! I've been living, writing and teaching writing from Argentina for 15 years. I didn't know you were living outside the US, too.

Not to mention public libraries are incredible. They support so many people in education and other ways. Always support the library.

Unfortunately, IME, the only way to avoid it is to stop the scrolling. And yet here I am....

Most definitely. Have you seen How-to Be A Cult Leader on Netflix? It requires a level of sociopathy to control people just for personal gain.
