Erin Jori is on submission!

I'm thrilled to announce I am now represented by Kimberly Fernando of Olswanger Literary! I can't wait to see what we accomplish together, @books4kimberly! #writingcommunity #amwriting #amagented

What are you planning to read this weekend? I just picked up Mary Kubica's new thriller, It's Not Her #amreading

Do you ever dedicate an entire weekend to reading? Is that even possible?

@HJamesWrites Currently I don't have any balance. Something's gotta give and for me this often means sleep

Writers, how do you balance writing with the rest of your life? 📚📝

@SDDonovan Hi there! I've just about given up on X

I feel like I am shouting into the void again in this place. If you're an author, reader, or anyone into books, say hi! I want to follow as many of you as I can!

@HJamesWrites I shoot for at least 30 minutes. Not easy most of the time

Writers, how many hours a day do you write? 📚🖊️

Do you ever have an idea for a book that you start working on, then a book is released with a similar premise? Do you abandon it or see it through? #writingcommunity

@HJamesWrites No. Or listen to music.

Writers, can you multitask when you're writing? 📝🤓

Have you ever thought of a book title first and created a story around it?

Excited to be part of an anthology nominated for a 2026 Derringer Award! The competition is fierce: shortmystery.blogspot.com/2026/02/derrin…

What's the longest you've worked on a book or story? I'm going on 4 years with my current WIP. #writingcommunity

@Russell99695573 I once heard someone suggest reading 100. Maybe it's not so much about the number, but to keep reading in your genre?

So I just saw a post talking about writing advice and one author said to read 1,000 novels in a genre before attempting to write a book in that genre. 😳 I’m 55 and don’t think I’ve read 1,000 books in my lifetime. Is this realistic to most of you? Granted, I know I’m not the voracious reader that many are, but 1,000 seems excessive.

It's publication day for many authors. I just received Lori Rader-Day's latest, Wreck Your Heart. #Chicago author, Chicago setting.

@stephenRB4 I hope so but my magic eight ball says it's doubtful

Are you going to write a book in 2026? 📚

What's one new release you're excited to read in #2026? Here's mine. #books #reading #readingcommunity #HappyNewYear

Just a quick update: I'll resume opening my query inbox for a few days the end of each month, and will be open again starting on the 26th of December. 😊

When you realize too late that you're going to fall short of your Goodreads goal...

@demimschwartz @ciarasmithagent Congratulations! 🎉

✨ I’m Agented ✨ I couldn’t be happier to share that I’m now represented by @ciarasmithagent at Spencerhill Associates! Signing with Ciara is a dream come true, and I’m ready to take on the publishing world with her. Can’t wait to make some literary magic! ✨🤍🫶🏼

Anyone else on track to fall short of your Goodreads reading challenge goal? I'm forming a support group 😆

I'm reading a suspense novel where the protagonist is 76 and the suspect is in her 90's, which I'm finding pretty awesome and refreshing.
