Don't let anyone make you feel embarrassed about something you haven't read. It's a gift to have something great to look forward to, at whatever age.

My take on lit rejections: they make the lit world go round! Sub fees support the indie presses doing love's labor, & every time can't be *our* time--but some time(s) can, so keep at it! Thanks @nybookforum @artandwriting Full video at https://t.co/MetNsgjmrW

@RebeccaPodos Hi, this is awesome. Do you already have your 10?

[Laurin Becker Macios @laurinmacios]

@marchsoloway Jennifer, you let me know that my query for a YA verse novel that deals with abortion was compelling but that you’re not the right agent for a verse novel. Today, more than ever, I want this book to see the light. If you know of anyone who might be right for this, I’d be grateful

The world is a beautiful place
to be born into
if you don’t mind happiness
not always being so very much fun
if you don’t mind a touch of hell
now and then
