@HSHQ@southbankcentre the time we flew to new york, our VRBO host’s phone was disconnected, got stranded in a shake shack and then camped on the street in the rain with wyoming mustangs blankets
and now we live in london and would love to see him here!!! 🙇🏽♀️🙏🙏
hey @HSHQ i’ve been humiliating myself since the up all night tour in june 2012, could you pls hook me up with tickets to meltdown for myself and @paigefeliciaa to celebrate the 14 year anni of this pic?
i promise to bring my best orchestral outfit and no signs relating to wee
first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey
this thread is so real.. and it starts with publishers lowballing Black authors with their advances. large advances force marketing teams to scramble to create a campaign to recuperate costs, which takes away money and resources from other books.
yesss! if a writer or narrator doesn’t spoon-feed readers, it’s not an indication of bad writing. these are creative choices that exist for a reason. pls continue to challenge yourself to think the extra step — reading is a SKILL as much as writing is!
People just cannot handle unreliable narration these days. Like, they have no understanding of what it is or what it's trying to do. Not everything is given to you straight forward.
hi #amquerying peeps! STILL fighting for my life to catch up w queries so I'll be closed through the rest of june. aiming to open back up *briefly* for a couple of weeks in july, then close for the rest of the summer/potentially until late fall after the frankfurt book fair!!!
If you are looking for a news source that interviews Israelis, Palestinians, and the full range of world leaders, with reporters on the ground in Gaza, try Aljazeera. https://t.co/L78Q2qPFPB
This is about 5 days too late for a quickly developing humanitarian crisis that has been egged on by our governments and the power structure of this country. I am deeply disturbed by the way this government has been so callous at dividing the value of lives according to ethnicity
After reading this post & comments / retweets, I've been thinking about what I, one white agent, can do to help with these numbers. Here's my decision: I'm going to reopen for all genres I represent to ONLY POC writers. Once my unresponded queries # is at 200, I'll reopen to all.
@carlywatters not a writer but as a newbie i wasn’t well versed in imprints (couldn’t recognize an imprint vs publishing company) especially between CA / US where some
imprints exist in both and some just in one.
@JaelRichardson it went from fun vibes to copy/paste generic feminist monologue.. the tonal change lost me at the 1/3 mark. i expected the plot to be about barbie connecting with the original owner in a kinda pink feminist santa claus way, not her fighting ken's patriarchal reign in barbie world
@JaelRichardson omg thank you! it felt seriously disjointed. the dialogue was all over the place and not in a quirky, doll-like way. i love greta a lot so i was kinda shocked as the hallmarks of what i love about her movies are exactly the things that missed for me with barbie :(
