@DrWhoWhatWhyHow @IntrovertedJo I didnt choose the writer life; the writer life dumped a bunch of WIPs into my lap and was like “Oops...”

As an editor for a publishing house, the most important thing I do is to check for implicit biases in a manuscript. If you ever land a contract deal with @shaherazadshelf, this will be a part of your editorial call, regardless of genre:

One of my favorite scenes from one of my own books❤️

Something to keep in mind?

[Lauren Spieller @laurenspieller]

PLEASE do not sign a contract w/ this Co w/o understanding the HUGE implications of the deal you’re making. You are risking—potentially preventing!—your short & long term success.

Unnegotiated contracts are DANGEROUS.

I made an author website but like... what do I do with this? As someone who is unagented and just sits over here writing and hoarding books like a gremlin, I feel weird having a website. (But also, I made it VERY pretty. So there's that. Link's now in my bio.)

Pitch your book in the comments. Maybe it will snag you a reader.

Bonus points for a promotional image or a cover image

What do y’all think of your reader feedback?

What are your thoughts on alpha/beta readers? I saw a comment on here from an author saying to trust your voice and not always go with betas. I agree, but my book was crap until unbiased readers made it so much better. They're invaluable #amwriting

Who’s got a found family story?

[Arlynn Lake, Professional Optimist @DrWhoWhatWhyHow]

I love me some found family stories with father figures who really didn’t want the dad role but end up ready to shank anyone who looks sideways at their new kids.

Lemme get some book recommendations!!

In academic writing, what’s the etiquette on gently critiquing a gentle critique someone made of a gentle critique you made on a gentle critique they made on you?
