@gabrielle_h Is the cost worth it?? I'm looking for representation and wondering if submitting an unsolicited manuscript will get me anywhere. Is it all about who you know (pay to meet)? https://t.co/Z0Q7A01GQj

@macy_jess Would you be open to upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres (fantasy/sci-fi) that's also YA? My protagonist is 18.

[Professor Paonessa @ProfessorPaone1]

@Michelle4Laughs I have a YA dystopian novel (think Divergent), but your website says you aren't interested in that for YA. Can I send it your way on Feb 7?

[Professor Paonessa @ProfessorPaone1]

May writing update!

I made the Micro Madness longlist with @FlashFrontier and published a short story in the first issue of Inter et Inter.

Woot!

The Kids Online Safety Act will protect kids online from #socialmedia algorithms that promote harmful content that negatively impacts youths' #mentalhealth. Tell the Senate to advance the legislation. https://t.co/mPncgfJtod #OurKidsCantWait #KOSAnow

Fiction writing question: Do you use "he laughed/she smiled/he snorted/she sighed" in tags or to create pauses between dialogue? I try not to, but do you delete ALL muted facial expressions and imply them through the dialogue instead? Are there no stares full of meaning allowed?

This makes me so sad!

@emilyfmaloney Hey, Creative Nonfiction’s former director of marketing here. It’s true, the entire staff left. There were only 6 of us; all working part-time. The decision to leave was not an easy one.

@mdbell79 @jeffreyjcohen @CeddyCed81 I hope you and Matt get to work together at ASU! Marquette will miss you — but how cool is this?!? And Matt (who for sure doesn’t remember me) is the best.

[Professor Paonessa @ProfessorPaone1]

@mdbell79 @jeffreyjcohen Amazing!!

[Professor Paonessa @ProfessorPaone1]

@legroff Loved Arcadia! Love it even more now that I know you were writing as a new mom. It’s so hard!

[Professor Paonessa @ProfessorPaone1]

@TommyDeanWriter @KB_Jensen I did this too! I can forget names and titles, but I always remember what color the book cover was.

[Professor Paonessa @ProfessorPaone1]

@SeptimusBrown If I’m remembering right, Henry James does this is Portait of a Lady.

[Professor Paonessa @ProfessorPaone1]

@TommyDeanWriter Wow! How many stories does that make?? At least 22 — which is a ton of great writing!! 🙌🏻
