@hailpeezy At my Bachelorette party, three guys tried convincing me and my friends to get a drink from the bottle he had "hidden in the bushes" so he "wouldn't get a ticket."

Nooooo sir 😊

@hgeiser_author I am thrilled with my choice to self publish. Do you have IG? I'd love to follow you there!

[Author Jenna Wilson @_jenna_writes]

@EsmeSymesSmith A lot of bookstores sell local self published authors, too. 😊

Arizona Iced Tea founder explains why he will never increase the $0.99 price of his tea:

“We’re successful. We’re debt-free. We own everything. Why? Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent have to pay more for their drink? Maybe it’s my way to give back.”

This is something no one prepared me for

Being a mom is so weird because other kids can sense it and they'll just randomly hand you a piece of trash.

@hgeiser_author The day I decided to stop querying and self pub was the day I felt relief from a weight I didn't realize I'd carried. After being ghosted on a Full MS 3x, I decided to listen to my Betas and Sensitivity Readers who told me the book had an audience. They were right 😊

@Sarah_Nicolas Isn't this basically the plot of the show Younger, but with a Publishing House instead? They should have learned from Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff!

(Jokes aside, that was terrible of them. I'm glad you found your people!)

@melodywanders What kind of romance? Contemporary? I could maybe help!

[Author Jenna Wilson @_jenna_writes]

@emilykmay One time I called poison control because my 2 year old ate a finger scoop of spackle and the lady literally said to me "let me Google to see how toxic that is." A few minutes later she said "this page says she will be fine." And she was fine. 🥴

Me to my students 😂

"You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" and it's just a series of photos of me as a child desperately trying to make the teachers in my Gifted & Talented program say they're proud of me.

@KosokoJackson I'm sorry to hear this. However, thanks to the algorithm showing me this, I've looked into you're books, and I am *SO* INTRIGUED! These sound marvellous. I am starting with Yesterday Is History and I can't wait.

[Author Jenna Wilson @_jenna_writes]

@CasieBazay Many agents have said on here they're required to delete queries if another agent in their agency received it first! Just a note. Good luck!! The querying trenches are *brutal*

[Author Jenna Wilson @_jenna_writes]

Read this thread 💜

[Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks]

Still can’t believe I’m in a book like this with so many people I admire. Thank you @SandraProudman. ❤️

[Author Jenna Wilson @_jenna_writes]

@ericsmithrocks @SandraProudman When will this be available? I'd love to get one for my classroom!

[Author Jenna Wilson @_jenna_writes]

@savranly I'm no longer seeking trad publishing, so I may be wrong, but I thought beta and sensitivity readers were vital parts of the process! They are definitely important for self pub!

[Author Jenna Wilson @_jenna_writes]

@Kellyrei007 Thank you so much! I see you've been very successful! Congratulations to you!

My query feedback and beta feedback are total opposites. I'm leaning heavily toward trusting my audience and self-publishing. The agents seem more trend-based than story-based, while the betas are focusing on the heart of the story. It's a wild position to be. #WritingCommunity

@pwheeler_agent I think this is it. I think this is the last bullet in the corpse of my dream of traditional publishing.
