When people tell me that they want to get back into reading but can’t seem to find THAT BOOK, I have some go-to recs based on what made them love reading in the first place

— here are 56 of them 🧵

Mitch Hedberg day-2/22/22. You are a legend, sir! "The next time I move I hope I get an easy phone number...like 222-2222. People ask "Mitch, how do I get ahold of you?" I'd say, "Just press 2 for a while!"

@kara_ren_ee Ellipsis… I think. Yeah… definitely ellipsis.

@kyscreative @TheIntellektOwl clearly it's time for a reboot! I say run with it 😊

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@TheIntellektOwl Kind of - as soon as I try and come up with comps I start second-guessing if my story is too close to other things I've read/seen/listened to. But I always decide that blended media = new media.

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@writers_hq @EmmaLouMacca 😆😆😆 yes!

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@Nickyshearsby22 1st person! I've never been able to get in the groove of 3rd person because I feel too detached from everything. I need more focus 😆 Love reading good 3rd person, though so I'm glad so many of you are good at it!

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@writingwithreed @Nickyshearsby22 I always tend to go shorter - I like reading shorter chapters and feel like that's one of the best ways to suck a reader in. #teamshort

The gray hair I found today clearly indicates I'm turning into Rogue 🦸‍♀️ What do I want to be when I grow up? A superhero! BAM! #XMen #kindofabigdeal #lifegoals 6-yr-old me would be so excited.

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@EmmaLouMacca @Nickyshearsby22 Ba hahaha 🤣

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@Nickyshearsby22 Yes to all 😆 notebook, voice text messages while I’m driving, random emails. We can’t control when our (maybe good) ideas come 😂😂😂

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@kara_ren_ee Yes! 🛌Plot, character, world building - love dream inspiration! 😍

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

Happy new book day! We have a strict spreadsheet going on who in our house gets the book and for how long. In retrospect we should have bought 4 copies 🤣 #mg #BookLover @MelissadelaCruz

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

In no particular order, here are the next few books on my #readinglist have you read them? Thoughts? Suggestions for my next stack? Looking forward to the variety!😁📚

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

Thanks for all the great info over the past three days! @MSWLMA

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

@AuthorHopkins Not multiple book pitches in one query... one thing often expected of chapter books is series potential. So if I already have several more books of the series mapped out, how do I let the agent kindly know that I'm thinking ahead and I'm in it for the long haul?

[Rachel Frederick @RachelTheWriter]

When pitching a chapter book do you include the rest of the series in the query letter or pitch as a stand-alone like every other genre? Help! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #chapterbooks #ChildrensBooks #writerscommunity #MG
