@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 π
Arizona Iced Tea founder explains why he will never increase the $0.99 price of his tea:
βWeβre successful. Weβre 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 itβs my way to give back.β
@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 π
@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!)
@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. π₯΄
"You wouldnβt 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.
@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*
@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!
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
