Literary agents have stores now. They sell query letter feedback, ms feedback, strategy sessions, and other services to writers.
Really not sure what to make of this.

Tips for reporters on how to interview Abdul:

1) You ask the Qs. He doesn’t.
2) When he asks you a Q, ignore him. Ask your Q again.
3) When he says, “That’s not the Q, the Q is” ignore him. Ask your Q again.
4) When he doesn’t answer, ask him why he refuses to answer.

Do your damn job!

Hello I need articles for my Thursday column at Lit Mag News. Things have been slow lately…Maybe I should get an AI bot to write a piece for me. Just kidding. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Writers, share with me your thoughts on lit mags. Funny thoughts, deep thoughts, frustrated thoughts, inspired thoughts…

I publish ~1,400 words by guest contributors each week. I pay!

Opinion: When Obama speaks, millions of people listen. If he truly believes that it is “undeniable” that Jews “took land off people," then he is an antisemitism superspreader.

Lit mag editors: If a reader suspected a work published in your magazine was AI-generated, and they had reasonable grounds for suspicion, would you want to know?

Yale has committed $150 million to support AI. Wonder if this is why The Yale Review is publishing stuff like this.

[Becky Tuch @BeckyLTuch]

It is even WORSE. John Hopkins Press has contracts to license ALL their books for LLM training. Who publishes Yale Review? John Hopkins Press.

Hey Yale Review, are your contributors’ pieces being used for LLM training without their knowledge or consent?

Blake Lively did NOT submit any invoices 😮 basically she is saying “trust me bro” and wants the court to take her word for it. No proof, no receipts 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #blakelively

We made so much fun of hantavirus that they deleted the whole storyline.

The disease just pack up and left due to bad ratings.

What a riot! 😆

Amazing reporting from the @FreeBeacon on @RoKhanna's obscene wealth. Mr. "Fight the Epstein Class" with his two marble laundry rooms and net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

[Lauren Neidigh @LethalLauren904]

Blake Lively just made a hysterical bid for $8 MILLION in court fees and costs related to ONE CLAIM in Justin Baldoni's countersuit. This is a desperate play after Lively settled her own pretend sexual harassment case for ZERO DOLLARS. People with brain cells can see this is a pathetic attempt. The New York times asked for a much more reasonable 6 figure amount for THE SAME AMOUNT of legal work. Absolutely pathetic.
