Hi #WritingCommunity

Like many of you, I’m moving on to other spaces. I 💛 you all, but I can't support this platform anymore.

I’m on 🦋🧵📸 with the same handle. I'd love to connect and keep it rolling. If this is goodbye, thank you so much for the support and friendship.

@bethnelson Thank you so much! And I just followed back 🙂

@sophiakb_writes Same! I'm rooting for you and your book, and can't wait to see it on shelves! 💛

@P_R_Kaufmann Likewise, my friend. If you decide to leave (or even just expand your footprint), please reach out! I'd love to keep it going. 🙂

The Battlestar Galactica (reboot)

Fantastic #amwriting guide here, not just for submitting to an editor, but also #amquerying an agent. And if you're a #SelfPublishedAuthor , a lot of this pertains to your reader's expectations too.

[Amy's Opening for Submissions June 12th, 2026 @AmyNielsen06]

🧵I've been meeting with editors all week and asking most of them two questions. 1) What keeps you reading a submission? 2) As far as craft, what advice do you have for authors? And I'm sharing some of that with you today! #writingcommunity #amquerying

[Kirk R 📖 ✨has left✨(now on 🦋🧵 📸) @kirkraff]

@RebeccaMinelga I'm such a data nerd, and I LOVE Sankey graphs, but never had occasion to generate one. I giggled like a child while creating it 😂
