I’ve seen a lot of posts about not paying for an editor especially if you are #amquerying but here’s the thing: sometimes you can learn a lot from an editor. IF you ARE going to hire an editor, these are some things to keep in mind re developmental editing 1/8 #WritingCommmunity

@demimschwartz @izmartinsen @alpaolucci @ciarasmithagent So creepy in the best way! Awesome artwork and graphic 😍

Introducing Lolly, the killer’s candy puppet in Sweeter Than Revenge. 🍭🔪 She’s here to give you the Game Guide’s hint. 🍫 Art by @izmartinsen, graphic by @alpaolucci, and repped by @ciarasmithagent. 🍭

@madison_cowsert I love the title of your book!

Another one!!!! I know it isn’t full request Friday but I’ll take it for a maybe pile Monday!! ♥️🎉 #query

@demimschwartz Love an adorable romance! <3 ;) :D

I read 10,000 words of my Amethyst Ink author’s adorable romance today. Later, I’m hopefully going to draft the second half of my short story. Happy Monday, friends! 🤍

@demimschwartz Congrats, Demi! And always good to see a story find it's place after a longer time <3 :)

✨ Anthology News ✨ I just signed the contract, so I’m so excited to share my YA fantasy, “A Diamond Reign,” will be published in Fable House Press’s Mental Health and Magic anthology. This is an older story that I tried to place for a while, and it found a perfect home. 💎

@Ilsa_seeks_Rick You're stunning - never delete <3

Felt cute, might delete later.

@demimschwartz @alpaolucci @ciarasmithagent This looks so good Demi. Wishing you the best for when this goes out into the world for consideration <3

I’m delighted to share the mood board for my young adult locked room thriller, Sweeter Than Revenge, made by the fabulous @alpaolucci. 🍭🍫🔪 This is the thriller of my heart and soul, and it will be hitting editors’ inboxes in the near future. @ciarasmithagent 🖤

Please read this one! There are SO many factors involved in finding success in the publishing industry! <3

@AmyNielsen06 I felt a bit 'spammy' liking every single point here, but I really appreciate you sharing! I'm not on X much these days, but when I am I often see valuable posts from you, so thank you!

🧵My first 2 years as an agent were tough. But lately, the offers keep pouring in! I'm so grateful, but I've also learned a few things that I believe helped. I believe those things can also help #amquerying authors. So let me tell you my secrets! #WritingCommunity

@CJVickWrites This is SO special!

I've been waiting almost three months to spill the beans on my book deal, BUT I've also been super excited to show off the very special t-shirt my kiddos made me to celebrate NOBODY PANIC! going to auction. 🥹 I'll be keeping this one for life. Talk about lifelong memories. ❤️ #writingcommunity #bookdeal

I'm simply over-the-moon thrilled to announce my debut novel--a campy, bubblegum horror set at the height of the '80s Satanic Panic era featuring an ensemble of misfit middle-aged final girls--sold at auction to Sourcebooks Landmark. Spring 2027, here we come! #writingcommunity #debutauthor #bookdeal Thank you @gravity_fail09 for being a kicka$$ co-pilot 🤘Best. Agent. Ever.

@CJVickWrites YAYYYY! I'm SO thrilled for you Carly!!!

@demimschwartz Your tree and santa are so wonderful!!

I got my copy of Holiday Spirit by Dragon Soul Press! “The Snow Globes of Tinsel Falls” is one of my favorite stories I wrote this year, so I’m so happy it wrapped up my 2025 anthology publications. ✨❄️

@CJVickWrites Bubblegum horror sounds awesome!

Locking in and making headway on Act Two of my bubblegum horror WIP. Happy to report that the quiche and Eggnog latte went a long way in terms of brain power. 😂 #writingcommunity #amwriting

@DaelynMorgana It’s so hard! I am mostly avoiding social media these days 🫠

Tell me you’re invisible online without telling me you’re invisible. My contest/giveaway closes in 2.5 hours, & there hasn’t been a single participant. I’m not trying to sound bitter or angry, I’m just…tired. I gotta quit having any hopes or expectations. 😔

@demimschwartz ⏰👀😍♥️😎

@KathrynHAuthor Tuesday 🤞🏼

So, real question, what do we call the waiting period between receiving a certain email and the thing that starts with “c” and rhymes with “fall?” Because there’s gotta be a word for this. 🕰️

@demimschwartz @VickyBall3 I wasn't a fan of the ending of this one haha.

@VickyBall3 Oh my god that book is so good. Wait until the ending.

Currently reading this. Have you read it? What did you think of it? I'm about halfway through and enjoying it so far

@mnoe Check the filters - sometimes closed agents might be hidden, or something else :)

The QT Dashboard shows the first image. But then my list has the second. Where's the missing query?

@DaelynMorgana Ugh yeah it sucks how you have to post frequently to be seen, typically 🫠

How do you know you’ve dropped off people’s timelines after being absent for awhile without saying you know you’ve dropped off into the abyss? When you get zero response from the community. 🫠 Are y’all still out there?

@ZBK_VVvibes Ahh yeah I’d be pretty wired from that too LOL. Excited to see who you sign with and get more good news in future on sub 😍
