Daniel B-M ✍️ is querying.

One of the hardest parts of writing about Ancient Rome is remembering how long it lasted. The Roman Republic alone survived nearly 500 years. That’s longer than many modern countries have existed. #HistoricalFiction #AncientRome #AmWriting

Romans didn’t usually eat dinner sitting at a table. Wealthy Romans reclined on couches while they ate. Meals were social events that could last for hours. History is often stranger than fiction. What’s a Roman fact that surprised you? #AncientRome #writingcommmunity

@Luca_Johnson96 Fantastic purchase!

Well, sir, on sighting the Sharpe novels, I naturally bought them all. That's my style, sir.

@SophiaLiam25212 Hi 👋 I'm in the querying trenches currently.

If you’re a writer, an Author , or someone who loves books, feel free to say hi! 📚

@elonmusk 👏👏

SpaceX is Caesar’s XIII Legion level good

@PosterPitEvent This sounds fantastic! I look forward to it!

This year, we're thrilled to announce our upcoming pitch event and the ceremony following the event on April 18th: The #PosterPitAwards! Stay tuned for some awesome announcements throughout the month. Also, check out the rules and guidelines below or our website in our bio!

@captive_dreamer @UpdatingOnRome This and the opening of Saving Private Ryan are simply *chef's kiss* 😗👌

One of the better opening scenes in recent Hollywood history

@BWheelerBooks Congratulations 🎉. This is fantastic!

Highlight of my weekend (month so far?) was finding my book in my local library. Another author achievement unlocked!

@mcgillmd921 You can never have enough!

Amazon package: *arrives* Wife: I thought you said you weren’t buying any more Roman History books. Me:

@DNicholsAuthor A Roman legionary spares a captive Briton woman—only for her to return as a rebel queen whose survival threatens his legion and everything he’s fought for.

Hey, fellow writers... Pretend I'm a hot shot agent and you have to pitch me your book using just one sentence. GO! #WritingCommunity #writers #writingq

@J_McCaffrie Fantastic news! Congratulations!

I can't believe I'm actually posting this but... I'm out of the #querytrenches & have entered my ✨vague✨ stage. Excuse me for a bit while I dance around my house & scream like a very little girl for the foreseeable future. Stay tuned for the official announcement 🩷📚 #WritingCommunity #vague

@danhathersage This is absolutely beautiful!

Have you ever seen a 1,000-year-old book? The Southampton Psalter, dated to the late 10th century, contains early medieval Irish glosses.

@mcgillmd921 Claudius is often underestimated. He survived the chaos of the Julio-Claudian court and still expanded the empire with the conquest of Britain.

Which Roman Emperor should people be talking about more?

@HerringAli Thanks for sharing this, Ali. The querying trenches can be tough, so advice like this really helps writers focus on what matters in a pitch.

How do you stand out in a crowded querying field? 1) Have lucky timing & be pitching "the thing" everyone currently wants. 2) understand how to communicate that strong hook & IMPORTANTLY the stakes in your query 3) have a strong opening paragraph that creates interest & context.

@designtaxi Such a surreal sight. Those plaster casts make the eruption of AD 79 feel incredibly human, not just historical.

@rogueclassicist It’s hard to study Roman politics and not see echoes today. Factional rivalry, populism, powerful personalities, and institutions struggling to balance power. The Roman Republic is basically a case study in how political systems evolve and sometimes break.

If students want to understand politics, they should start with Ancient Rome thehill.com/opinion/educat…
