Nerdy writer here to ask the important burning questions of fantasy and sci-fi, and to misspell a bunch of words

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

I've got quite a few questions through DMs recently about little things re the publishing industry. It's great to see people trying to improve their chances.

If you've got any questions, comment here and I'll do my best to answer it x

@InventingRealit Lovely quote.

And also the last words, that's really something

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@NicolaPickstone Stay strong. Rejections are really horrible.

What genre?

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

Such a little thing, and an important thing, to get kids reading

@WorldBookDayUK My pupils have all been sharing the book that meant the most to them growing up

It's been lovely!

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@jazzyluckwrites All of that, and I'm always just so damn tired 😂

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

I applied to my first #shortstory writing competition in ages today! Really excited, and excited to be getting back into it

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

What are you looking for in your next read?

I'm hunting for an academic urban fantasy

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@Ian_SMC Exactly. Worked for all the lanisters as well

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

Competency p*rn.

That's my favourite bit in any book I've realised. Reading about someone just being really really good at something. Especially something roguish.

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@howlsmovingjenn That's what I'm really holding to, although at times it can be a little brutal

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@howlsmovingjenn That's very kind of you. To be honest, I just need to write, and even if this current one isn't the one, I'll get better the more I fail

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@thehardestpath At least you've got the professional (and hopefully trusted) guidance of your agent. It must help if nothing else

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

How do you like to open a novel?

Slow burn or in the middle of the action?

@emilyrverona @dark_matter_ink @anna_madden How exciting! Congratulations, how long is it?

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@mredparnell No longer, good buddy

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

What do we think of love triangles?

Overused? Still great? Time to upgrade to love squares?

@Nickyshearsby22 Badly.

But I try and write a little every day and so. I work very long hours six days a week, so that's the best I can do. But in the holidays I'm writing 2000 words a day, so that's something

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@thehardestpath You're probably right, and yet some of my favourite books are real slow ones. It's a struggle

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@Tibbittz Getting out of bed must be a HASSLE

[Jamie Cass @JamieCass11]

@Squidmcfinnigan I feel you. I usually get that from what I've spent on books
