When California Fish & Wildlife K-9 Warden kills a poacher in self-defense, she finds herself on a collision course with not just his family, but also businessmen who will commit to any crime, including murder, to capitalize on California's drought-driven water wars.

Saw this somewhere and thought I’d share it.

To every writer currently querying: hang in there. The rejections are part of the journey, not the end of it. 🫶

Keep going. Joy is coming. 💪📚

Your first draft is NOT supposed to be good.

The use of sensitivity readers is considered by some to be censorship and by others to be a valuable tool. I fall in the latter group. I recently got feedback from a new sensitivity reader who said to not use a term that an earlier sensitivity reader had suggested I use. It made me realize sensitivity readers can provide different and even contradictory suggestions. I’m okay with that. Deciding which advice to take and how to utilize the input is part of the creative process for me. What do you think?

@DNicholsAuthor I paid approximately $5K for a two-pass developmental edit on an 85K manuscript from a high quality, respected editor. Money well spent, although it may well never be recouped.
