Kathryn Orwig is....Repped!

Exciting Update! I'm now repped (books & scripts) by the incredible Caroline Rabin at @KaplanStahler! Caroline is the BEST creative partner I could have asked for and I can't wait to see what we create together going forward! Graphic by my talented friend @doodlefrau :)

Go Alex go!

Please, please, please do not run other people's work (those you're critiquing/beta reading/freelance editing for, or anyone's work) through an AI checker. The system may literally be then using that person's work! & they are trusting you w/their words-something very precious!

Do not make movies with unreliable people, however talented they are. Reliability, dependability, is a far more important trait when it comes to putting a film together. It is a long journey. You need people who show up, commit to what they said they would. Talent is secondary.

@MJG_Write So happy for you!

DOWNFALL comes out tomorrow! My trilogy will be complete, and a story that I first started daydreaming about eleven years ago will be on bookshelves!

@theislandwriter @andiesmithbooks Congratulations! Andie is a superstar! You’re in great hands!

NOT SURE I’LL EVER GET OVER THE THRILL OF SIGNING PUBLISHING THINGS!!!! 📸 of me SEALING THE DEAL & accepting offer of representation w/ @andiesmithbooks and CMA last week🎉😭🤩 #publishing #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #kidlit #author #scbwi #writers

@tschrack Always love reading (and watching!) your work!

@katorwigauthor Thank you! And, thanks for helping!

Last season, my 1-page horror BABY MONITOR was a finalist and got snapped up for production. It also earned me a free entry for this year, so here we go again with INSTRUCTIONS!

i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life.the plot never changes, but your perspective does.

I really enjoy @storyandplot's weekly email :) The Narrative Point of View today was well timed!

@TheBeeMorris Yesssssss!!!!!

Partial request for ALICE & THE AFTERLIFE!! 🥰 what a lovely start to the morning

It’s a new week so you know what that means?! Fresh flowers! (A penny in the bottom of the vase to make them stand up straight!) I’m working on a new feature idea and outline today! This one is so fun (with loads of romance and action adventure!) #authorlife

I know sometimes it seems it's pointless to work so hard on your novel when someone turns around and publishes 200 AI novels and makes 6 figures, but don't stop writing. Your book is real, written by you, with your voice. It is worth more than any AI book in my eyes.

@AuthorEmy You are unstoppable!!

Fantasy book turned in to agent. Thriller book turned in to editor. Play outline turned in to boss. Well what the heck do I do now? Take a break?!

Can't change a thing - currently at a perfect word count! 400 pages 114,400 words 🥰

@MJG_Write Go Marc go!!

I wrote another 3400 words today. I'm close to finishing this draft!

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO CREATIVE STUFF EVEN IF YOU DON’T THINK YOU’RE GOOD AT THEM BTW !! do stuff just because you want to, because it feels good and creativity is an outlet we all need!!

@katorwigauthor That’s so sweet, thank you!! 🥹 I absolutely won’t stop until it’s published 🙌🏻

Picking yourself up after query rejections is TOUGH and to be perfectly honest, I considered shelving my current project last week (dramatic, I know 🙄). However, I managed to send off a query this morning, so I am officially back on the horse! 🤠

Finally saw KPop Demon Hunters last night and I really enjoyed it! It was fun, and the themes of redemption and friendship were really well done!

There’s something so satisfying when you print your whole book out and hold it in your hands 🥰 Seeing it sitting there. The characters and world that have lived so long in your head made into ink and page. Waiting to go through it with fresh eyes and colored pens.
