[Nancy Hall James @NancyHallJames1]

A psychic girl. A missing boy. A heartbroken friend.
Summer’s end. Sunsets. Paths through the forest. Fireflies.
A haunted hall at school. A chase with a killer. A first love that might not survive.

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

5 things people get wrong about launching their first book.

I recently ran a Masterclass with YPO Chair called How to Write and Launch a Great Book.

For this audience of entrepreneurs, coaches, & consultants, a book is a tool. The 5 truths I shared about modern authorship:

@purplebeatts If you haven't received a code yet, does that mean you're not getting one? Does anyone know?

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes…

At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh..

It was comfy, it was quiet

In hindsight, too good to last…

It’s an extremely difficult time to be a querying writer or a writer on sub. You aren’t imagining it. #WritingCommunity

[Morgan Shamy 🩰📖 @MorganShamy]

I had TEN years of silence…

Now I’ve had 13 offers of rep, 11 pub deals, 4 books come out THIS year, another book deal this year, prepping another book for sub now, and chaos with trying to market & edit…

Keep your work. KEEP subbing. Everything can happen at once! 😭📚

As someone who relies heavily on pantsing, I want to understand you plotters. How do you keep the creativity fresh? Do you adjust your outline if inspiration strikes as you type?

When you are querying a book, you are querying THAT book as a standalone. It absolutely can be the first in a series, but an agent is looking to see if they can sell this individual story. In your query, make sure Book 1 stands well on its own.

[Joel Brigham @joelbrigham]

I see a ton of query letters where the author isn't just pitching a book but an entire series. We all love a good trilogy, but how do agents and publishers feel about them from debut authors? Let's have a look at how to approach pitching a series to an agent 🧵

Hey folks? Don't do this.

I didn't give my permission to have AI anywhere NEAR my art and if you want a higher than 1920x1280 copy, I have a store for that.

This is not okay. This is what puts artists out of work. This is what puts artists out of homes.

Thank you.
