[Adam Vitcavage @vitcavage]

I've given a lot of support to writers over the years, and someone said, "You should charge for this kind of service."

I never wanted to... but now I do. Why? So I can take the money and turn it around to pay other writers to grow @debutiful even more!

[Garth Greenwell @GarthGreenwell]

Ten years ago, I published a debut novel that got much more attention than anybody expected. Some people suspected a plot. I wrote about how that seemed from the inside—& about literary “hype” in general. Plus a few tips for publishing a first book. https://t.co/K7BZLw6rn6

I created @debutiful as a passion project because I couldn't hack the freelance life.

My goal was 1 book list and 1 interview a month.

January 2026 > the first 16 months total.
