Pleased to share my essay from "Poets & Writers" that details the story of how I came very close to landing an agent who ending up ghosting me and wrecking my spirit for a good while. Hope it helps other writers. I won't tag A.

“I tell my students, ‘When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else”. - Toni Morrison born Feb 18.
Some good news in the midst of a hard time. This story is from my collection that centers around a group of characters at a community swimming pool. Thanks so much @Sunlight_Press for giving "The Deep End" a wonderful home.
"Mom isn’t at our chair, either, and I wonder: what if the dark-haired man kidnapped her? What if I never see her again?"

Our week of fiction ends with the story, "The Deep End," by @PinktreesJ. Don't miss reading it today.
With this speech and her earlier call conceding the race, Harris is affording Trump what he did not afford to the incoming Biden-Harris administration: a commitment to a peaceful transition of power and acknowledgment of a legitimate victory.
CNN has a story titled “where the Harris campaign went wrong.”
Nope, I won’t read it.
Harris ran a great campaign.
The story should be titled “where the American people went wrong.”
