@dani_s_writes Yeah, as tough as it is, I think that might be the only way. I’ve been doing some beta reading recently, and I can feel the joy coming back.

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

@dani_s_writes Yep, any time you’re talking about a feminine person you can add the e after the verb. (As a general rule of thumb.)

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

When an amateur sleuth finds a dead body being devoured by the Wilderwood, he becomes a suspect in the case. To clear his name, he must find the killer. But as the forest begins growing within him, he questions if he’s as innocent as he’s trying to prove.

How do you get yourself out a writing slump? (Like a long term slump)

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

@deidrejowen I did! I just put it in a big binder. Kind of a pain if you’re annotating and then transferring the edits, though

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

Just found out a competition I submitted to in February is releasing results this week, not next ahhh

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

Note: It took 200 days to get a response the first time. The R&R likely won’t be done till September.

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

Writing community, I come to you for advice yet again. I got a full request after getting an R&R from another agent. I asked if they’d like to see the OG manuscript, or the R&R when it’s ready. How long do I wait to hear back before sending off the OG?

@sally_bromley Thank you!!

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

FULL REQUEST TUESDAY!!! (after 194 days. was fully expecting a CNR)

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

@jaimiehunter That’s so sweet!

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

@jaimiehunter I do!! Is that your dog? They’re adorable!

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

In the past week, after months of silence, I’ve received a free full developmental edit, become a RevPit finalist, gotten an R&R, and a full request. What is happening??

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

@ReidBritannica SAME HERE FOR YOU!!!

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

@ReidBritannica CONGRATS!!

@bookishmoons Hi Katrina! My YA fantasy mystery, WILDERWOOD, centres on a magical forest, if you’re interested!

[Niko is querying!! @nikoauthors]

@karasiert Ah thank you!!

Elliot and Levi used to fancy themselves cryptologists. But ever since Elliot went missing, then reappeared with no memory, they’ve realised cryptids are trouble. But when kids start turning up dead, they might be the only ones who can crack the case.

Didn’t expect to learn this much about making movie posters from PosterPit, but I’ve seen some amazing ones!!

When a teen finds a body being devoured by a forest, he becomes a suspect in the case. To clear his name, he must find the killer, before more students die. But as the forest begins growing within him, he questions if he’s as innocent as he’s trying to prove.
