I took my book on a woodland walk in the Forest of Dean to help it get out and about. 🌿🍄🐰

@vickyweberbooks This works even better for me as my last name is Cook, haha.

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@valeriecnorton @ArtsJadee This is exactly what I pictured!

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@valeriecnorton Congratulations! I absolutely adored the version I read. Can't wait to see how you developed it further.

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@ashley__thorpe @jhalakprize @Usborne Congratulations on the book deal! I always remembered your short story about the animals on the arc back in the writing club. Can't wait to read your book!

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

Just so you know, I can be found under the name ScookieReviews. 🧵

I'm following authors and readers, not agents or publishers, and it's sooooo much better. I'm actually posting and interacting, too. 😅

@writingwithreed I'm at the stage of querying where I'm like, "Where's my evening rejection email?"

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@WordsofRABlack I appreciate hearing this. I personally think querying has to be the worst bit. It's where you're completely alone with no sense that it will ever change. I understand that being on sub isn't easy, but I can't imagine anything worse than querying.

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@artyny59 Thanks, I'll check them out!

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

As a reviewer, I'm always on the lookout for YA fantasy books from small presses or self published authors. Also looking to make videos again! If you have any recommendations, even if it's your own, please post a link below.

@bethwritee Can I join?

Potions, charms, spells - 16yo Merri doesn't have magic and can't function in society. Teaming up with a failed rebel, the pair harness their flaws to take down the system before Merri is sacrifed to power the very thing she doesn't have: bloody magic. #KidLitPit #ya #f #mh #lgbt

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@KyraMNelson This is exactly how I feel. If you're looking for another critique partner who has queried countless books over the years, who has helped others get agents and publishers, I'd love to see if we can help each other out.

I now dread querying because it's when a project dies.

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@WordsofRABlack Congratulations! So well deserved! I can't wait to get a copy.

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@JontyHart01 Brilliant, I've just messaged you!

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

If anyone wants to be critique partners for a YA fantasy about a bunch of misfits accidentally destroying a magic-punk world, then please get in touch!

@mshurtleffwrite Is that mention of needing a beta reader a throw away comment or an actual offer... 😅

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@thequedika I'm looking for beta-readers/critique partners. I write YA fantasy. What sort of things do you write?

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@ElisesWritings @debbieiancu I'd love to join if there's room!

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

@JulianGreystoke Hi, I'm trying to private message you about this but it keep saying fail send.

[Samantha Cook @SMC_Scookie]

What's the best way to find beta-readers these days?

I have a YA fantasy in need of help!
