@annieswafford - there are adult writers, also writers who write for both the adult and kid lit markets. The more, the merrier!

[Bethany Hegedus @BethanyHegedus]

@annieswafford NOPE! For all genres...we have agents interested in adult fiction and memoir, etc but most of the editors are in kidlit. Still there is tons of support! @kjtwrites is an adult writer with us...Kim, anything to share with Annie?

[Kim Tidwell @kjtwrites]

@annieswafford - I’ve found the support from the CTC community, agent convos, and lit life content to be “genre agnostic.” I love the community readings - hearing from writers writing all sorts of beautiful stories for all ages.

No!!!! You can’t leave us. You’ve been our rock, @iamsambee

After 7 seasons, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not be returning to TBS this fall. We’re so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week—that there wasn't wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of Big Bang.

Thank you, @campbell_claire for sharing this morning!

[Kim Tidwell @kjtwrites]

The morning after the @WritersLeague Agents & Editors Conference, I’m exhausted but on fire. The conference started right after the Roe news dropped. But, I am heartened by the incredible writers I met, writing challenging, subversive, beautiful stories. This gives me hope.

[Kim Tidwell @kjtwrites]

I was heading into a writing conference on Friday, when a friend shared this. YES TO ALL OF THIS.

If the idea of building a brand for your writing is daunting, join @TheWritingBarn starting Monday 5/8!
@StefanieHohl is a great instructor and the 6-wk format will enable writers (all genres/ages) to dig into the process and make real progress.

Congratulations, @debbieazapata!

Hard to know what to do today amidst my fear, sadness, and rage. I started with a donation to @lilithfund to help fund and fight for reproductive rights for women in #Texas.

[Kim Tidwell @kjtwrites]

Looking forward to this! Even as a marketer by trade, the idea of building a brand for my writing is daunting. @StefanieHohl is a great instructor and the 6-wk format will enable writers to dig into the process (and make real progress).

You know that book that floors you? The characters you think about long after the last page? That experience of reading something that deeply connects you to the writer and the way their mind works? Black Cake by @charmspen1 ... just saying.

[Kim Tidwell @kjtwrites]

Thank you @Jemiscoe, @LitAgentSaritza, & @marchsoloway from @AndreaBrownLit for your warmth, wisdom, and generosity tonight at @CTCWriters! Particular thanks to Jem for helping me stress less about every single character in my query letter.

[Kim Tidwell @kjtwrites]

It took me a long time to drop 'aspiring' from: "I'm a writer." Creative pursuits can make us confront our inner imposters. This Sunday, join @CTCWriters (and fellow imposters) for a free lit life session: https://t.co/bs6hIFE9X1 #WritingCommunity #ImposterSyndrome #WritingLife
