This may be a hot take? I see so many queries for Self Edited work and I'm telling you,its RARE that I get further than 3 pages in.I dont auto reject. It always gets a chance. But USE CRITIQUE GROUPS! You dont have to pay a professional,but don't go it alone. Use your community!

A few days ago, I saw a comment from @ma_holland_80 explaining how to view the word count ranges agents request on QT (which is INVALUABLE for someone like me w/ a higher word count). Just wanted to say thanks and share the info with others in my same position! #WritingCommunity

I started writing when I was a teen. My first five books were all rejected, but I kept trying. Finally, my sixth book broke through, and I got an offer for publication in 2022, over twenty years from when I started writing my first book. It's a dream come true!
We have four months left in 2025, so it's time to check in on your 2025 writing goals! If you're struggling to reach the finish line, here's my four-step process to help you get to "the end" by December 31. You've got this! 📖
In traditional publishing, rejection is NOT about you. It's simply about whether your book makes sense from a business perspective. When I worked at Penguin Random House, I saw great manuscripts get passed on — not because they weren’t worthy, but because they didn’t fit an…
Just about every author who has been through the querying process will agree: it sucks. Here are 7 insider querying hacks to make the process a lot smoother — and give you back hours of precious time that you could be spending on your next story.
New #WriterBeware blog post: Brief backgrounder on authors' class action lawsuit against Anthropic for unauthorized AI training, plus how you can find out if your books may be included & how to add yourself to a contact list for class action notices writerbeware.blog/2025/08/15/bar…
Made this incredibly reductive venn diagram for my fellow authors in the trenches. Hope this helps. #amquerying "How an Agent Feels About Your Manuscript"
Even if 90% of your story is brilliant, if your ending... ❌ is too obvious ❌ feels abrupt ❌ makes us say "WTF?" ...readers won't be happy. Here are the 7 weakest novel endings and how to avoid them to end your story on the right note. youtu.be/8RnUyupyVx8
Being called a success story feels very weird, and I’m definitely feeling some imposter syndrome, but I hope this @QueryTracker interview gives some hope and insight to those of you in the query trenches! querytracker.net/offers/intervi…
New at #WriterBeware: a new & very aggressive marketing scam from overseas. Many writers will already be familiar w/ the highly personalized solicitations typical of this scam; they also illustrate how essential gen AI has become to publishing fraudsters writerbeware.blog/2025/08/01/ret…
What do many literary agents say they're looking for? Voice. But how can you identify, define, and develop your own narrative voice as an author? Here are 3 exercises you can do right now (seriously!) to find and strengthen your authorial voice. Try them out!
By popular demand (well, someone asked), here are some agent green flags!🧵
If you're trying to get published this year, you're probably wondering: Is my genre is actually selling or dead in the water? I discovered an amazing tool from @QueryTracker that ranks the top genres literary agents are requesting RIGHT NOW — and was surprised by the current…
As a book editor, I have a few tricks up my sleeve for fixing problems in your draft. My biggest one? Reverse outlining. Here's what it is, how to do it, and why it works like a charm every time. 📝
Let's talk red and yellow flags for literary agents! Here's a handy graphic to a few key warning signs - further explanations in thread. As usual, a disclaimer that this is @keslupo's educated opinion! 🧵
Should US-based authors query UK agents? Disclaimer: this is @keslupo's take on it all (as a US agent with strong UK roots)... but overall, yes, with caveats! More detail in thread. 🧵
