Thrilled that I won’t be able to keep seeing my @axiawh doctors in-network after 6 short weeks postpartum because @UHC prioritizes profits over healthcare while the rest of us foot the bill. I hope employers drop you, United. Pay my providers fairly. #KeepMyOBGYN
Thank you to all the folks spreading the word about High Line Lit and other agents and agencies’ bios being scraped and used by The Literary Firm. Querying folks, I’m so sorry this is causing even more confusion in an already tough process. The internet is a mess.
This week is a rollercoaster. Like you can have all the self care like that wildly overdue haircut and a fancy beanbag chair BUT ALSO your bathroom is flooded and tiny hell creatures are floating up from the deep—hope you didn’t want to use the water in your house any time soon.
@rapscallison I also highly recommend BEFORE AND AFTER THE BOOK DEAL by Courtney Maum for this, and there are some really great podcasts like “Print Run” and “The Shit No One Tells You About Writing” that talk about the industry at large to varying degrees.
This is an awesome thread, btw!
Paper Over Board will be closing to queries for the summer. We’ve been so blown away by all the amazing submissions so far this year. Stay tuned for updates on reopening this fall.
@MaryBlyeKramer Hi Mary! Pam received your message and passed it on to me, so you should have an email from us with the correct email address. Sorry for your trouble!
We're thrilled that literary agents @MarsDanko, @bonsai26 and Wayne Arthurson are part of our faculty for Ermafest. Countdown: 71 days. Are you registered yet? #ebww2022

It's still sinking in that someone really wants this strange dark story that I wrote like an anxious little electronic gremlin, but I’m now represented by @MarsDanko of @paperoverboard1 at @IGLAbooks! She’s incredible and I am beyond excited 🖤
Absolutely thrilled to be a part of this dream team. Thanks so much to @AliciaCSparrow and @ChiReviewPress for seeing the amazing heart and soul of this project!
When I was 17, a teacher told me my stories didn’t resonate with her and she didn’t see a place for them in the market. I’m proud of myself for not listening, because ten years later I’m now represented by the wonderful @MarsDanko of @paperoverboard1 at @IGLAbooks! 🥲🥲🥂
