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…

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!

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. 🧵

Just about every author who has been through the query trenches will agree: frankly, it sucks. So here are seven 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.
Writing a book is 10% typing and 90% lying awake at night thinking about that one scene that just won’t cooperate. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying
Just posted a follow-up video breaking down why agents reject (or ghost) full manuscripts. If you're deep in the query trenches, check it out. youtu.be/Jt8Bvjp--zM

Hot tip for new #amquerying authors: sort your agents by Query Reply Rate. Query one with high stats (just maybe not your "dream agent"). Do another round of edits while you're waiting. You'll prob get a quick rejection, and boom! First rejection out of the way!😉 @QueryTracker
