My record is nine days notice

I got 68 requests this yr & I’m not even a famous author. I’m a random debut. They were not distributed evenly - all the reqs came between May-Aug. I had to decline 50 books & there’s 3 mths more to 2025

Anyways all this to say: 1) ask early 2) a decline is almost always capacity issue. Godspeed

I, a childless full time author, have time to read about 4 books a month. Let’s say I can allocate a half that number to blurbs - 2 per month, excluding holiday months/travel (~3m). That means 2x9=18 blurbed books a year AT MOST.

But like yall. Why do I get blurb requests with 2 weeks notice?? It tells me two things - your team is not organized, and/or I am a last min tier 5 request blurber. Both of those things aren’t great.

The jam is so good!!!

Can’t wait to hug you and turn off performance mode after Friday!!!

thank you Daryl!!!! Thrilled you read it.

thank you for getting my dumb little easter egg to myself hahaha (and thank you so much for reading and sharing!)

MUG!!!!!!
