Writing community, what’s a read that left a lasting impact?

Just been chatting to @MnMSplinter about This is Going to Hurt by @amateuradam.

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed and cried so much during the same book. I still think about it years after reading it.

[Ann Glimmer @glimmer_ann]

I haven't been very active here the last few months, too busy working on my novel, but I figure it's time for a little update.

I'm publishing my debut September 28! 🥹😭🤩
And I have a cover! 🥳

I can barely believe this is happening🫣

PS: Add it to your TBR on Goodreads?🥰

@authoradraeanna @WriteforLife6 This. Or I over share when they want an elevator pitch.

Congrats, @Drenderturmaud !! So excited to hear this news for you!

[Danielle Render Turmaud, PhD @Drenderturmaud]

It’s officially official my friends! 👀😁😭SO excited to bring this book (and these boots!) to life with Familius!!

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

@deborahyelle2 What a cover!

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

Great article, @vickyweberbooks I wonder if these industry changes will also lead to more in-person author events: tours, bookcons, interviews, and things like Dragon Steel Nexus. Sci-fi authors have been killing it with events lately!

The odds of getting traditionally published (1-2%), is around the same as the percentage of actors (2%) who are able to make a living with acting.

Let that sink in. #writingcommunity, you are defying the odds.

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

@annlittler That's so great! I hope edits and subbing goes well for you.

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

Woohoo!!! Go Ann! Congratulations!!

I am thrilled to announce that I am now represented by Vicky Weber @vickyweberbooks at CMA!

I am so lucky to have found the perfect champion for my YA dystopian thriller AT NIGHT, WE HIDE. Her excitement matches my own, and I haven’t stopped smiling since the call!

Did I just commission some character artwork, which I promised myself as a gift for when I got agented?

YES I DID 😃

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

Making sure authors don't use AI while editors make sure to...one word comes to mind.

Also concerning is the legality and morality of this. When consent isn't given, is this the book equivalent of rape?

Curtis Brown (@CWAgencyUK) has voiced concern about editors using ChatGPT to assess confidential manuscripts, as more literary agencies introduce clauses around Artificial Intelligence into contracts 👇

Congrats, @myleejmiller !!

Enjoy!

A Philosophy of Thieves just lit me up for heist books. What a zippy thrill read, and a superb comp. Loved all the twists and flawed characters that found redemption. #amreading #amquerying #books

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

#DragonsteelNexus just went on my bucket list. I had serious FOMO watching all the fun online, especially the ball! Who else wants to go?? @DragonsteelBook #books #amreading

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

@HerringAli Lovely post. Thank you.

I recently started baking sourdough, which means I have an additional "family member's" schedule to track. IYKYK. I can now see why bakers name their starter. #sourdough

[Michelle Splinter @MnMSplinter]

Hearing that 80% of passes from @HeatherCashman are down to marketing constraints is oddly reassuring. Thank you to you both for a great podcast! @YMWJPodcast #amquerying

[You, Me, and the Writing Journey Podcast @YMWJPodcast]

A very special episode for #amquerying writers/creators launched yesterday with @HeatherCashman on The Many Reasons for Agent Passes (Beyond Writing Quality) and How to Cope with Them! If you need some encouragement, go listen!!👇#writingcommunity
