RED RISING X SIX OF CROWS Evan will do anything to secure her sister a lifesaving dip in the Fountain of Youth. Even if it means partnering w/a secretive criminal &conning an empire ruled by a near-immortal conquistador. The gamble just might cost her everything #MoodPitch #A #F

@OnyeHollomon I’m so sorry Onye. I pray you are surrounded by all the love and comfort you need at this sad time.

We had the honor of celebrating my father’s Homegoing this weekend. He was an amazing man, husband, father, grandfather and uncle. He stepped in the gap for my boys when Wayne passed. We will miss him dearly, but we know is home with the Lord. ❤️ search.app/qYQeanevrPzTdn…

@CrystalNikish @rebeccalitagent That’s amazing!!! So proud and happy for you!!

It's happening! Thrilled to announce that I'm now represented by @rebeccalitagent, who saw my STEM romance for all of its nerdy glory and wants to champion it with me! I can't wait to see where we go together!

@books4kimberly 20 out of 100,000-word romantic fantasy. I have a list of filler and extraneous words I search for and delete or rewrite during revision. Amazing how easy it is to slip those in there.

Annual "Just" critique giveaway. How many of the word "just" do you have in your MS right now? I'll choose one unagented writer for a 5-page critique (not saying what the parameters are for the winner, you'll have to take your chances). Closes midnight EDT 8/11/24. Good luck!

@CrystalNikish Yay!!! Congratulations!!!

It's finally my turn to be vague 😭😭😭 #amquerying

Happy Valentine's Day! We're feeling the love and want to give away a couple of these. All you have to do is reply with a word you absolutely love to say out loud.

@allisonexander Thanks for doing this and sharing. Great resource.

Since this is gaining some traction, you might want to know there is a companion database for fantasy novels! aealexander.com/comp-finder-fa…

@jenichappelle Stroopwafel

@alphadorkable Congratulations Harper!! That’s huge. Have a great, productive time at the retreat. You got this!

Pleased to announce that after months of agonizingly hard work, I have fully detailed, outlined, and plotted a complete novel that I am beyond excited to share with the world. Now to write. Which is also hard work. But also, off to a writer's retreat in a Scottish castle!

@aprilhenrybooks That’s a great idea. Reading Stephen King’s “On Writing” was transformative for my writing. I ordered this one and am looking forward to diving in. Thanks again.

@MSchoonoverAPR A long time ago, an editor had her authors get the book, read certain pages, and we would have a conference call to discuss.

Are you a writer? This book has changed my writing. amazon.com/dp/B07PWPSY8K

@aprilhenrybooks Thanks for the heads up! 🖋️⌨️

And it's on SALE for 1.99.

@tjentz Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Your work contributed to improvements in the district I worked for. You make a difference.

@susanwiggs Thanks!

@MSchoonoverAPR powerstructure.com 👍

Even my plotting software is judging me #amwriting #writerslife #WritingCommmunity

@anjyiswriting Not a textbook but a great book that will help immensely is @StephenKing “On Writing.” Changed my writing for the better. Plus it’s an engaging read.

Dear Writing Community, I need help with finding the best writing textbooks. I’m not talking save the cat or romancing the beat. I’m talking about techniques, the nitty gritty part that’s mostly boring. This is a direct plea for help. Signed, Anjie

@nmainardiauthor @Rabbies_Travel One of my favorite trips.

@anjyiswriting Don’t give up. Write for you, for all the words you hold in your heart and the ideas in your mind. Don’t give up on your gift.

Dear Writing Community, I feel like giving up. Like what is the use in writing? Do my stories really matter or am I just wasting space in the writing community? Maybe tomorrow I’ll feel better, but for today I’m just looking for a sign that maybe I matter. Signed, Anjie.
