@authorkkhavari @RebeccaFKenney1 Sure. But it’s not nearly the same time commitment as doing all of everything on your own. I’m just saying, TP makes more sense for some, and SP makes more sense for others.

You may not know my 2nd novel since I’m not as active here as other platforms. Book 2 - A Pocketful of Yesterdays - follows a family learning to live after losing their mom to cancer. A single dad, a teenage daughter, a young son, & lots of therapy. #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

I recently started book 3 (not finished with 2 but an idea hit me & I had to run with it). Meet Melissa: recently divorced & discovering her love of cooking while taking classes with her best friend Penny…and stirring up new romance along the way. #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying

After ten amazing years of building mentorships and an online community of writers, #PitchWars and #PitMad are coming to an end. As an entirely volunteer-run event, we are truly overjoyed and grateful for the opportunity to assist so many writers on their journeys. 1/3

@MatteristBooks I have a full time job and two young boys. My husband works three jobs so I'm basically a single parent. Most of my writing happens between the hours of 8pm and midnight after the boys are put to bed. The power hours!!

There is a sunrise now when we head outside for the school bus! It may be -30, but despite what it feels like, spring IS coming. As someone who battles seasonal depression, this sight leaves me so giddy and excited! 🌅 #MN #BoldNorth #HangInThere

Started my morning with another query rejection. So I sent out three more in its place. I feel like my kids: nothing like hearing a “no” from one person to fuel me to go seeking a “yes” from someone else! 🤪#AmQuerying #WritingCommunity #WriterMom

Love me some good fantastical action stories!

[Darker Worlds Inc. @DarkerWorldsInc]

Peaceful, private and hiding in plain sight, the vampires of the world thrive. But tensions are rising, and a vampire civil war is inevitable. Now, sides will be taken, and peace may be just a hopeless dream.

I like! Best of luck - would love to read this story some day!

[Soniya Kulkarni is back after a two year hiatus @randomrobin]

The❤️of WELL BEHAVED INDIAN WOMEN meets the humor of AYESHA AT LAST when a 22 y/o aspiring actress, armed with grit and more Bollywood trivia than a Wikipedia entry, must escape an arranged marriage in the US and her despotic father to fulfill her acting dream. #PitMad #WF #POC

1 yr after her husband's suicide, Mia is still struggling. A chance encounter gives her an opportunity to love again. But can she forgive herself enough to take it?

How Deep the Ocean takes an unflinching look at trauma, loss, love, & friendship.
