@pwharris 32 x 12 is equal to 16 x 24 because if you halve one factor you can double the other. This means you can more easily compare 16x28 and 16x24 and see that 16x28 will be the larger product.

I listened to the Math is FigureOutAble podcast yesterday and I think @pwharris said she’d explain why she doesn’t talk about using 25 when doubling 27, but I don’t think I heard her come back to it. Did I miss something?

Office Hours today at noon central!!!

@adriamgoetz I love QM, but email has advantages too. The most important thing, if you’re going to do email, is that your instructions are extremely clear, consistent, and easy to find. So frustrating when directions on website, PM page, Twitter, etc aren’t consistent.

@adriamgoetz I’m guessing the “what book are you known for?” question is actually “have you repped any books that are popular, award-winning or highly-anticipated?”

@adriamgoetz I would love it if agents would wait 12-24 hours before rejecting. It’s stressful to craft a personalized email and get a form rejection in 10 min. But I understand that people read their inboxes in different ways and I’d rather be rejected in 5 min than wait more than 3 months

@adriamgoetz Honestly, I think the best thing agents can do is to make sure their form responses are neutral, authentic, and kind. When agents have forms that have weird advice, or statements like “I adore this premise” and then we find out they say that to everyone…..it sucks.

@adriamgoetz I had no idea agents expect authors to acknowledge a request on QM. 🤷‍♀️ I thought uploading the requested manuscript was the only expected response and that chit-chatting beyond that would be considered annoying/superfluous.

@Sarah_Nicolas @CaitlinRozakis @JrLibraryGuild @abmack33 I saw DREADFUL on a special display at B&N last week!

Soft launched my girlfriend on Instagram today and if I’d known it was going to get so much engagement I would have plugged a link to my upcoming books like a rapper selling mixtapes in the parking lot on the last day of school

@annmrose Love a bi disaster!!

Ready for a chance to get an ARC of Amanda Dean? Comment below and retweet ❤️ #PrideMonth #SapphicRomance #amreadingromance

@annmrose Yay! So excited for you!

On a high note…. Look what came! 👀😍❤️ Will be giving some of these away very soon! Who wants one? 👀

@HellBoundBooks @_rae_wilde This isn’t a transphobic character — this is a transphobic premise. Someone who views trans individuals with compassion would not read this ad copy and think “yep, this is a great idea.” The very nature of this premise is medically inaccurate and unnecessarily mean-spirited.

@_rae_wilde Thanks people can write gay comedy and not be homophobic. Can write racist characters and not be racist, etc. Think Family Guy humor. We have many authors that are a part of the LGBT community and we support their works.

I'm looking for recommendations for LGBTQIA+ MG books. Here's what we have. I know there must be more than 12 out there, but I'm not so much in the MG publishing space, so looking for recs, both fiction and non-fiction! (Also would love any with BIPOC and/or disability rep!)

@anamaewright Thank you Ana! 🥹🫶🥰

So happy for you Ellery!!!

@WordsbyChloe This is AWESOME, Chloe! 🤞🫶

an editor from Penguin is reading MY book rn & my first thought was to not shout about it anywhere because it may very well not go the way I want & superstition but...I think I'm going to celebrate the win regardless 🥺🫶 #amquerying

@erikhane @printrunpodcast Thank you, Erik! 🥹

I'm probably missing folks, but suffice it to say I wouldn't have gotten to meet and sign with Julia if it weren't for an entire community of industry professionals who freely give their time to make tradpub more accessible. ♥️

I am also immensely grateful for @ericsmithrocks, @annmrose, @pedrokat, @tnicolepayne, & especially the Books Like Us First Novel Contest team at @AtriaBooks. These are folks who gave me reasons to believe in myself and my story at times when I needed it the most.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be represented by @jlkardon of @HGLiterary! I am confident in the vision that Julia has for me and my book and I’m honored and excited to work with her . . . (🧵)
