My stripper name is Tiered Rejection, and my signature move is slowly peeling off a blazer, to reveal another blazer, while whispering, "We appreciate your submission, you made our longlist but… we've decided to go in another direction" into a microphone.

May all your short stories be accepted. May agents battle for the right to represent your manuscript. May your book sales skyrocket. May your computer never shut down before saving your work. I hope 2025 is a fantastic year for you, #WritingCommunity and #5amwritersclub.

@LitAgentKatieM Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, THE GREAT SHIP NORTHANGER is my YA retelling of Jane Austen's NORTHANGER ABBEY set in space.

Are there any books out there with a post-apocalyptic, after the Yellowstone super volcano blows up?

[Cassandra Willis -The Tortured Author Department @WillisWrites]

My book is free the next few days! A YA steampunkish fantasy about Atlantis with lots of lush detail and adventure!

Dear oh dear.

Used AI to create a book cover for the book #amquerying, and now I need a real version. Anyone have any cover artists you recommend that does this style?

[Cassandra Willis -The Tortured Author Department @WillisWrites]

In the mood for a good apocalyptic story. Destroy the earth and write what happens, or what happens after. YA preferred, but adult or crossover is cool too. 15% off edits if you’ve got one! #SmallBusinessSaturday
