Jimmy Pak is querying 🔪🩸

It’s honestly making me really upset seeing how many authors here are cool w AI art. A writer should WANT TO PAY OTHER ARTISTS! If we cannot see the value in the art others create and the importance of it, why tf would we expect others to see the value in OUR art?

@realevelyncross Funnily enough, a nightmare I had is what inspired the work I’m querying right now

Horror writers, do you ever have nightmares about your work?

@LDRexauthor Congrats!! That’s awesome! 🥳

I received a FULL REQUEST on my adult horror last night. I am giving it one last look over before submitting it. It was already a great weekend because of a birthday party, my sister getting snowed in with us, and then THIS SURPRISE!! I am so happy!

Currently working on a new wintertime horror/slasher 🔪🩸

A little drop of Baypen makes everything better. 🤡🔪🌽 CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD. Only in theaters, May 9th.

Might be time to shelf my finish horror manuscript. It’s disappointing because I feel like it’s a good story, but it’s my first time querying and I think I jumped into it too eager and overdid it a bit. In the meantime, gonna start a new slasher story ✍🏽

@PaperFury @hopeoffrank I was buying your book at B&N and got the normal version and the lovely bookseller told me to wait a moment and went to hunt down the special edition 😍

@hopeoffrank they are both !!!

#dontlettheforestin by @PaperFury original from BN vs special edition by #dazzlingbookishbox I think the special edition is gorgeous and the book is AMAZING

Does anyone have recommendations on how/where to find beta readers?

Got a rejection from an agent I really wanted to work with. I think what really bummed me out is that they said it’s the type of story they’re interested in but they weren’t as taken with the manuscript sample. Makes me questions whether the story is any good 😔

if there’s one thing I’m good at as a trans, disabled author… it’s writing dark, violent YA books about trans and disabled boys that end up with fancy award medallions on the cover three for three babyyyyy ✨✨

@realeverywriter Yupp. A Thousand Pieces of You by @claudiagray the whole series has gorgeous covers and the contents are as equally beautiful!

Have you ever bought a book because of the cover?

Would it be absolutely insane to start writing a sequel to a novel that isn’t close to being published? I don’t want to jump the gun but I also have lots of ideas for it #amwriting

the weirdest thing about editing is when you think, “i should add this” and then realize that you wrote the exact same thing two lines later.
