@JaniceHallett @ViperBooks This was such a good one!!!

[Stephanie M. @thepracticalpen]

I woke up so excited to get Last Branch Standing by @whignewtons today...but then I got an email that my shipment is delayed until tomorrow.

I'm taking comfort in the fact that SO many people must have ordered the book that it's overwhelmed the Amazon delivery system.

@JaniceHallett @ViperBooks @AtriaBooks I didn't realize you had published another book!!! So excited!

[Stephanie M. @thepracticalpen]

I just published a piece for @RealSimple about my favorite cozy mysteries to snuggle up with this winter. Check out my picks that include books by @richardosman, @JaniceHallett, @martywingate, and more!

Then grab a book and a blanket and get reading!

@kristakdoyle @holyswiftpod @taylorswift13 This is so cool! It's an amazing feeling when one idea leads to another and leads to another. Beautiful.

Calling all editors for digital or print publications. If you're looking for pitches, you should check out Placed!

Basically, Placed is a platform that streamlines the pitching process between editors and writers.

[Stephanie M. @thepracticalpen]

Writers submit their pitches to the Placed Database and editors can search for keywords or browse by category to find pitches that fit with their publication. When you find a pitch you love, you can reach out to the writer directly via their contact info and work out the details.

@mykenna_maniece @BusinessInsider Hi Mykenna! I started Placed to streamline the pitching process between writers and editors. There are currently over 150 pitches sorted by category (and you can search by keyword). If you're interested in checking it out, you can send me a DM or email me at stephko322 at gmail!

[Stephanie M. @thepracticalpen]

@kristakdoyle Exactly. It keeps me up at night, but I'm sure it's just Tree doing her thing.

[Stephanie M. @thepracticalpen]

If I ever meet Taylor Swift, my first question is going to be -who do you call when you want to change the capital letters in "thanK you aIMee" to "thank You aimEe". It drives me nuts.

[Stephanie M. @thepracticalpen]

@zanmerusteff Good luck! I definitely go in spurts, too. Sometimes, I'm sending 10 a day and then I'll go 10 days (or more) without sending anything at all!

@zanmerusteff @qwoted Bummer!!!

[Stephanie M. @thepracticalpen]

@nuclearunicorns I have to go back and edit them out of my writing! Does an article need an em dash in every paragraph? Maybe it does.

@zanmerusteff @TODAYshow This was so good!!! I did Zumba years ago and loved it, and have been wanting to start going again. This is the extra nudge I needed!
