So far I’ve had (a multitude of) form rejections, a (gutting) personalised rejection, and a partial. Universe, I’m ready for a full! Let’s do this 😎 (please) ✨ #amquerying#ammanifesting 👀
@jk_rowling My daughter, 8 years old, just read all 7 of your books and can't stop asking questions about Harry Potter.

Would love to hear from you. Robert and Sophie.
This January I had the good fortune to be in the Lofoten Islands in the Arctic Circle.

The river at the bottom of my land.
Charles Darwin walked along it in 1836, 184 years ago.
He noted, in "Voyage of the Beagle", that the locals up here were drunken, idle and rude.
As a local, I'm happy to confirm that nothing much has changed.

@JennyMitchellGo Yes, it is a balance but sometime you have to dig in. Personally I have had several short stories published but quickly this becomes you giving and someone else taking, without end, but usually it comes around to your turn to receive. Good luck with your work. R
I've been asked to read/answer questions about my 2nd collection, 'Map of a Plantation', set on a Jamaican cane estate in the c19th. There's no fee. Now a poet and an enslaved person are not the same at all, but no fee seems wrong. Any thoughts?
