I’ll have to check this out.

Critical for self-publishing authors: If you don’t have a clear budget for every aspect of writing and publishing your book, you’re going to end up budgeting by default, and this can create problems. Insight from Joel Pitney: janefriedman.com/how-to-budge...

AITA for refusing to ‘stay in my place’ and causing a little chaos by getting the witch in the woods involved in my vying for a crown I will never lose once I chop it off the head it currently sits on? #unhingedpit #ya #na #fantasy #romantasy #q

#unhingedpit #a #uf #ownvoices #q AITA for asking too many questions and accidentally causing chaos in the afterlife because I'm the only ghost who can feel pain? I mean maybe, but at least my teen-aged supervisor is cool with me day drinking.

Being a ghost sucks Chronic pain super sucks But if I get fired, I’ll be extra dead (who will rescue my kidnapped daughter then) So here I am, migraine-ridden & stabbing serial killers to keep my job—while dodging afterlife bureaucracy & somehow surviving death #Unhingedpit #a #uf #own #q

Take Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" & add Vikings Enemies to lovers into a love triangle, a badass fmc who descends into madness & a witch who seems fixed on making sure war will arise yeah... that's it. Like it, request it, doooo it. #unhingedpit #ya #na #fantasy #romantasy #q

When you use #PublishersMarketplace Agent Matcher tool and every #literaryagent they matched you to is closed to #queries. #amquerying life is hard in the #trenches

Me trying to convince you to buy my book especially since it’s only $14 dollars right now until the end of the month as an after Valentine special: 🔗 on the 🌳 #thrillerbooks #mustread #indieauthor

I have made a website with my story guides for all #agents and #editors who are looking for some good stories. I have Adult, YA, and MG novels to offer. Check them out on my new site... stroyguidesbycarmendavinleam.carrd.co #amquerying

Writer seeking representation 🤞🏻👐🏻🧐 #seekingliteraryagent for a lifetime of stories 💕 #fantasy #thrillers #ya #a #mg

When a strange man tells Ryker that she’s died but refuses to tell her how she met her end, she has to agree to do something unthinkable if she wants to know the truth of how she died—and why she’s the only Afterlifer who can feel pain. #Q #questpit #A #fantasy #urban and #epic

A boy who wants to save his family, a girl who disappears into the woods, a magical house that no one understands. If they can find each other, maybe they can save themselves, too. #Questpit #YA #WIP (Based on a true story)

Dyer attends the Dragon King’s school for witches. Spurned because her family betrayed the King, she withstands hatred, but when a vision shows her as the King’s concubine Dyer must find a way to fight the crown itself. #YA #SapphicRep #DF #DarkAcademia #fantasy #questpit #WIP

Two warring Vikings are forced to rely on each other when a witch’s curse binds them in the dark woods but only one knows who the other is. Will there be war or sparks far more treacherous. #QuestPit #Q #YA #romantasy (several agents have the full right now)

For me it's so hard to keep querying when agents have my full manuscript, because like... I feel like I'm cheating on them. I gave you my work and you're reading it, but b/c of the time this all takes I have to keep going JIC but like... my heart feels bad for doing it! #amquerying
