💫Update: I've officially parted ways with my agent and am seeking new representation. I'm currently working on YA and Adult thrillers, and am looking for a new agent to champion my work. My DM's are open. 💫 Below you can find a thread on my current projects. #amquerying

charging for critiques when your only claim to knowing better is signing with an agent is harmful to your peers and actively participating in gate keeping with a pay wall

@HerringAli Honestly, same. Panic-editing your voice to dodge imaginary rules just makes the writing weaker. If em dashes fit your rhythm, use them. Trust your instincts. ✍️🔥

@dawnfeatherauth I've also had serious issues with beta readers flaking, being unreliable, or offering their editing services after reading three chapters and never finishing the book when I decline. The community has become far too transactional. If you're willing to swap, I'd love to read!

(2/2) most to improve the pacing in the beginning. I feel like I need a new team of beta readers now to look at my revisions, but where do I find reliable beta readers today? I feel like agent comments have hinted that this one is close...but I'm suffering in pacing and stakes.

Kind of at a crossroads with A Dance of Fire. I had a team of 15 beta readers, all of whom flaked except for one (really appreciated his feedback). I've queried over 100 agents, 80+ rejections, some CNRs, 4 full requests, 1 still outstanding. I've done some heavy revisions (1/2)

This! I have several books written right now that I could self-publish in a short time of one another. It doesn't mean they were written with AI, it means they've been sitting here untouched for years, and could add to a long backlist of books I have.

Vowing that this is the year I write the books I've been dying to write but put off for years because they "wouldn't sell" or "the market is too saturated". Either way, if someone loves my book enough, they'll find a place on their shelf for it. #WritingCommunity

@alexis_jacklin Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉This sounds amazing!

Ahhhh!!! Very exciting update! My debut novel will be coming out this October!!!! 👻🥀

So...how are we feeling about cyberpunk Sci-fi?? An idea I had years ago is suddenly brewing again and my fingers are itching to get to the keyboard. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Wanting to do so much but having so little time is the bane of my existence.

It took me WAY too many months of procrastinating, but I finally wrote THE END on my Adult Thriller 😭 #WritingCommunity #amwriting

@myleejmiller Me!

Would anyone be interested in forming a book club with me? I'd love to connect with more fantasy (or mystery or horror) readers and chat books, maybe on Discord 👀

Just that friendly reminder that if you are agented and/or published, ghosting your writer friends just because they're lower on the totem pole and haven't had success yet makes you a shitty person. Just sayin'. #WritingCommmunity

Okay but what do I do if I want to write several different books about vampires that aren't connected to each other WHAT THEN

Begging publishing to bring back the trend of omnibus collections like Night World or Thirst #BookTwitter

My most controversial opinion is that I can't stand Dark Mode. Give me that bright blinding white any day.
