- I have shared a ton of publishing advice over the years, but I think my number one recommendation is to find a way to separate the art from the business in your mind, and to hold on tight to that distinction.
- Writers! This is a heads up thay I will be closing to queries on 11/20/23 and won’t reopen until 2024! Please RT, and check out my Pub Marketplace page for wishlist, sub instructions, recent deals, and more! www.publishersmarketplace.com/members/lspi...
- Reposted by Lauren SpiellerAnyone happen to know anyone into cardistry who can let me pick their brain for five minutes for a scene in my book?
- I’ve been reading a lot of smutty fantasy and romance lately and it is so freaking fun! 10/10 would recommend to combat modern malaise!
- If you have a favorite, tell me! I just read this and it was a delight!
- Very happy for Cameron!!!
- It is impossible to dress nicely in hot, rainy weather.
- Closed-toed shoes? If they’re heels or nice flats, shitty in rain. If they’re boots, you’re hot. Sneakers? Not nice enough. Dress? Wet legs, dangerous in wind. Pants? Hot. Shorts? Not nice enough.
- I read it and didn’t see the words “royalty rate” anywhere 😒
- Who else saw this op ed in PW about YA paperbacks? What do you think? As someone who came up in the age of Sweet Valley High, Sweet Dreams, and other ppb series, I've always wondered why that kind of thing went out of style. #Kidlit www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/... via @publisherswkly
- Reposted by Lauren SpiellerThis is the single best piece I've seen about the Biden administration working to reduce administrative burdens in government. It is not flashy work, but if we want to see more effort to fix public services, we should acknowledge it when it occurs www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...
- I was supposed to see Messi play today and instead he’s not coming and I am VERKLEMPT
