I've been querying my first novel, and decided to bring the pitch here during the QuestPit event! Sharing/liking the original post would do a lot for its engagement. Also, surprise! I wrote a novel. Thanks everyone!

Since I primarily use this account for journalism (and video game updates), I might make a second account for creative writing. I’ve been querying my novel for a few weeks and would like to connect with other authors ❤️

[Rachel Stamford @StamfordRachel]

As someone who uses exclusively @Razer products, I’m saddened (but not surprised) to see they’ve deleted my comment on their sexist headphones ad for explaining how muting a woman while talking as a means to sell products to men is wrong.

@carolinejtrulit edited my synopsis -— what feels like the hardest part of any query package — with a fast turnaround and valuable critique. Her expertise has been instrumental to my query package, and I'm grateful that I used her services. Highly rec for querying writers!

hey, so uh, this is insane

I know I’m back in the UK after this exchange at a cafe:

Me: Do you have sugar?
Barista: Oh, it already has caramel in it, love!
Me: 😡🇺🇸

[Rachel Stamford @StamfordRachel]

@carolinejtrulit Kill Creek (Scott Thomas) is a haunted house classic horror. Episode Thirteen (Craig DiLouie) is a “found footage” novel about paranormal investigators. Lakewood (Megan Giddings) is a psychological horror based on real medical testing. The Troop (Nick Cutter) is a SCARY slasher

Greg gave me invaluable insight and advice when I was navigating my Master’s at Glasgow. I’m saddened to hear this 💔

[Glasgow University Media Group @UofGmediagroup]

It is with enormous sadness that we at the Glasgow University Media Group @UofGmediagroup respond to the news that Professor Greg Philo passed early this morning. 1/3

I deactivated TikTok because I felt like I used it whenever there was even a slight lull in my day. In just an hour at my desk, I’ve reached for my phone six times, then remembered I don’t have the app. Yikes. Time to de-iPad baby myself 😬

After living in London for over a year, it finally happened. I pronounced banana as ba-naw-nah 🥲 The Brits won this round
