No one’s forcing me to admit this but one time I wrote for so long not only did I write a complete 50k word first draft but I bruised my tailbone

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@RubyRudii CLEAN!

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@Linnaeus_Writer @RoweWriter Agreed! It felt like I asked an update for a submission that has only been out for a few months and she just dismissed me and told me to self publish .. nothing else :/

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

I asked my agent what the next steps were and she told me to just self publish??? Uhh what? Is this normal?

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@SashaLysette Are you having a good experience with self-pub? That’s what I thought an agent would do as well… I feel like she’s had a lot going on in her personal life and took on a bit more then she can handle

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@reesamguerra Sadly no, but my response to that email was me asking for a breakdown of who she’s sent each of my submissions to, and who I’m waiting for responses from …and now we wait 😅

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@Ekaylasimpson You’re not the first person to say that to🥲 I think I agree

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@Ekaylasimpson Pt 2. Newest work was what the market was looking for, so I said that’s great and aligned with my newest submission!! Any interest yet? And she said no, try self publishing..that’s weird right?!

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@Ekaylasimpson Pt 1. Agreed on the red flags!! Jan ‘25 she got my first work, July ‘25 my second (unrelated) and Jan ‘26 my newest. I’ve gotten NO interest in any of them so far (and only 3-4 rejections do the first two TOTAL over the year) she sent a client wide email saying the genre of my

@amsunshine_ That’s so interesting bc last night at a book signing another writer said the same thing to me!! I feel like I’m so far removed from the know haha

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@amsunshine_ Not that I ever think self-publishing is bad - just the reason I went with my agent is bc she seems really confident in getting me trad published so I feel a bit blindsided :( she also has been very bad with giving me any sort of updates w the 3 stories she now has of mine

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@Ekaylasimpson They put this newest work of mine on submission in January - so I don’t think all options exhausted yet? But I also asked for a list of who they sent it to and they couldn’t see to give me an answer so now I’m starting to doubt they ever sent it out :(

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@WrnrWrites It’s either I come back like “wow this is so good!” Or “what even happened!?”

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@SBAmerican_ Sarah!!

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

The most moving writing is always going to be a fanfic written by some high schooler but you all aren’t ready to talk about that yet

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@collinstimbela_ Sometimes I finish a book and have to sit with it for a week because it impacted me that hard..idk how people so easily move on 😭

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@brantleywrites The best and worst feeling 😭

[Shane Donovan @SDDonovan]

I get this feeling every few days.

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@BMFwrites It has to be rage bait…why would age matter lol

[Aly A Galanti-Ruybalid @masterpgrated]

@ElChandler Watching anime really helped me to be honest
