It’s official! Our book vending machine had its first customer today. Mikayla redeemed a token given out by an English teacher. Excellent choice and we’ve only just begun!
Since CURSE hit the NYT List yesterday, I wanted to share some thoughts:
* This is my 9th published novel.
* I'm 41 years old.
* Prior to landing my first agent in 2009, I had ZERO connections in publishing. I queried through the slush. I got rejected a LOT.
Don't give up.
Here’s a bit of the #writetip gold @hathawayjojo dropped in her interview re: using history in your novel. Read the full post on MeganWriteNow (blog link in bio). 📚💛🦉 #DarkoftheWest… https://t.co/DEKidpGhLU
Hey #amquerying crew! Congrats on being brave and putting your work out there.
But please remember publishing is not personal...it’s a business.
It’s often hard to separate the very personal art from the impersonal business but you have to do it.
Quit your job.
Write full time.
Take out a loan for an editor.
Cause you quit your job.
Or borrow from rich friends!
Starve for your art.
Isn’t this so glamorous-
What the f*ck is going on?!
Read widely to inform your work. Critique your friends. Write when you can. The end.
Hi there, #WritingCommunity! SO, there have been some tweets about freelance #amediting services lately. Some of them have kind of astonished us. So we we thought to ourselves: HEY. WE'RE EDITORS! We can speak to this! Let-us-break-it-down-now.
