@D_L_Williams @NetGalley Self-publishing is valid and a road to success for many authors. We wish you every luck in your endeavor.

Writers: Don't do this.

[Kimberly @books4kimberly]

Welp, I received my first super rude (f-word included) query where the bio only said, "It doesn't matter just read the manuscript" and the query only ranted about form rejections, feeling for underpaid interns, and "If you want to know what it's about just F*ing read it."

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

An opportunity to submit your work to an anthology. Go check it out!

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

A great thread full of sound advice.

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

Another tool for readers to keep up with their favorite authors.

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

Advice from the query-trenches, from an author who found success there.

[Kath Rothschild @kath_rothschild]

A lot of folks are querying. I usually post a link but y’all are lazy so here you go.

Top ten query advice that got me multiple agent offers:

1. Query in batches. Three is a good number to start.

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

An author makes a solid argument in favor of trigger warnings. Whether or not you choose to include them in your work, this is worth a read.

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

Solid advice.

[Quenby Olson @QEisenacher]

Just a reminder that when your editor leaves brief compliments here and there in your manuscript notes, don't delete those. They're like little stepping stones of positivity that will pull you through the revisions of despair.

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

An intriguing read about the divide between counter-capitalism authors and the worlds/characters they write.

A phenomenal read from the incredibly talented @ViolenceObscene on the experience of vending books at conventions. Do not miss.

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

Wishing everyone a great Memorial Day weekend, especially those with a personal connection, as 20 years of sustained conflict have made it relevant for more Americans than any time in recent history.

An excellent read on a common experience with the publishing industry.

How much of this resonates with you as a writer, editor, agent, or publisher?

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

We hope you will join us in congratulating @kmitko3 on winning the inaugural round of our quarterly 'Words From the Inkwell' competition with her entry, "The Susseration of Promise."

Well done, Kristy! 🦏

[Deidre J Owen @deidrejowen]

We should normalize reading as an activity to do with others.

[EighthPress @EighthPress]

Our inaugural "Words From the Inkwell" contest was an overwhelming success, and we will be reaching out to everyone who entered shortly.

Stay tuned for the next big news from EIGHTH PRESS, coming this week!
