@hollyjb_48 I don't know if this is helpful, but I queried six books for seven years before I finally got an agent offer. Believe it or not, it's possible to get used to constant rejection--or at least I did. Everyone's journey is different, though.

At what point do you stop querying? Or know if a book isn’t working in the trenches? Genuinely don’t think my mental health can take much more. I always start out so optimistic. It’s soul-destroying🫠 #WritingCommunity #amquerying

@ItsMusicMommy The way I laughed my ass off at this...

Full request from my mom guys it’s getting so real

Yes, and hot take, I actually find it comforting. It helps me keep it in perspective--ultimately I should be writing for personal satisfaction, and not to impress anyone else.

Emily is a great writer and web designer! Editors, check her out!

I'm doing my advanced query class as a fundraiser for @FeedingAmerica! teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/participants/S…

Well guys. I could not resist! My first ever PRE Black Friday Shop! As so many know, I’m retiring my 1:1 editing services and I want to go out with a bang! So now’s your chance to shop small and grab your offers! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #writingcommunity

@StorySorcery Thanks for the update as I would panic if I didn't get my middle aged sluts on the 31st!

🚨announcement🚨 if you preordered beast on apple, b&n, or kobo, you might see a new date (nov 5). don’t worry! it’s still dropping oct 31 unless the backend acts up. just syncing timelines between amazon + others. tryna deliver the middle-aged sluts the right way

@BrandyVallance Seven years and 400+ queries over 5 projects. Currently working on novel #8 and #9. So 300 queries doesn't seem that bad to me? 🤪

More and more I am hearing about authors querying 300+ times before signing with an agent. That’s the story of 3 of my clients. 🤯🤯🤯Are you still in the querying trenches? How many queries have you sent? How long have you been querying?

lots of big changes happening with my editing/coaching biz and i'm so excited to share! until then, grab some awesome freebies that'll help with productivity and focus! goodbye procrastination! also, doors to the membership are open! theempoweredwriter.com #writing
