So....you got a rejection. It was thee story. The one you worked your ass off to perfect. The one your CPs swooned over. Fit the theme perfectly. No first page typos (like that one time). And it wasn't accepted. Gut punch, right? Here's some Unc Editor perspective to maybe, hopefully, help/+

The Target thing is so funny. They had hooked pretty much every Black person I know, and then they threw it all away to make the confederate flag crowd happy just so they could not shop there too.

That time I decided I was over it and went into the backyard to read in peace and came back to find the family had prayed and started eating without realizing I wasn't there 😂😂😂😂. Funny now, traumatizing then lol.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. Populations get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Search through your manuscript for 'said nothing', 'silently'. 'wordlessly', 'without a a word' and similar variations. See if pruning these makes the sentence and actions stronger. There are a bunch of these crutch phrases you can usually cut to clean your writing up. #SelfEditingTips

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

Hold the damn line on this, authors. I have dozens of books I can't turn into audio right now because I can't afford to pay a narrator, but I WILL NOT use AI to circumvent them. We all stand together or we all get cooked.

So gorgeous! And, might I add this book is full of blood, teeth, explosions, aching, lonliness and tender heart all told in Hailey's beautiful singular prose.

My story's nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novelette!!! So happy for my dear Txyzna & Semau!!! 😭🚀🌊 [Not pictured: The way I thought Kate Ristau's call was a spam; I wasn't listening for the 1st few seconds (luckily I picked up lol), the way I ran to the toilet and dry-heaved afterwards.]
