A pi-prime is a prime number made up of the initial digits of the decimal expansion of π. We know the first 4... 3, 31, 314159, 31415926535897932384626433832795028841 and the 5th, a 'probable prime', is 16208 digits long, and took 4½ months to compute... Happy #PiDay

@rakiathegreat I like to help my authors understand the full ecosystem. I think everyone in the publishing business has had to add at least 3 or 4 more duties. I think everyone needs to exercise more patience.

Literary agents: serious, good faith query. Do you think your authors really, truly, 100% understand what their editors' jobs are? Like, all of the job, I mean. In instances where it's clear that an author doesn't understand, how do you handle it?
