😔 "She can’t help but think that sometimes it’s easier to stagger under the weight of our heaviest burdens with our heads bowed down, just so we don’t have to witness the pain that our suffering causes those who love us most." - If You Want to Make God Laugh by Bianca Marais
@BiancaM_author Bianca Marais does a beta reader matchup one a quarter (maybe more?). There’s a small fee, but you may meet your new writing besties! biancamarais.com/beta-reader-ma…
@jaime_dill Next: The Witches of Moonshyne Manor by Bianca Marais - it's like Practical Magic meets the Golden Girls with a kick ass teenage influencer to smash the patriarchy. Her other books (Hum If You Don't Know the Words and If You Want to Make God Laugh are also excellent!)
82- If You Want To Make God Laugh | Bianca Marais🇿🇦 This author somehow tackles the hardest of subject matter without making it too much to bear. I enjoyed reading this.
So thrilled to get some great comp suggestions for my WIP from @TSNOTYAW today! Thanks so much to Emilie!
We have an awesome bonus episode up today!! ❤️👏🏼❤️ Sue Reynolds discusses the @AmherstWriters method while Emilie of @eastcitybooks gives you comps! Don’t miss it: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…
@CaitlinLucyy Have you listened to the @TSNOTYAW podcast? They offer so much free advice on querying! I got my agent a couple months after having my letter and pages reviewed.
Tomorrow afternoon at @TheFOLD_ is a gift to writers. 1.5 hours of advice from agents from @TSNOTYAW in their Books with Hooks segment, and 2 hours of drop in time with editors and agents from sponsors and partners like @PenguinRandomCA @dundurnpress @ecwpress and more.
Join Bianca Marais, CeCe Lyra, and Carly Watters with guest host Tasneem Motala today at 1:30pm for a live edition of their popular podcast The Sh*t No One Tells You About Writing. Get your passes here: buff.ly/3U6bTpl. #FOLD2024 @TSNOTYAW @TheFOLD_
@KevSchmid1 @books4kimberly Aww, thanks @KevSchmid1! I feel the same way about you and your writing. I would have given up writing long ago if it wasn't for you and all of the awesome writers I've met through @TSNOTYAW!
Want to know how to escape the slush pile and capture the attention of literary agents? Join the hosts of @TSNOTYAW in conversation with @seraphecda on April 28th at 1:30pm for a virtual live segment! Get your tickets here: buff.ly/3U6bTpl #FOLD2024 #WritingCommunity

One insight from the latest @TSNOTYAW podcast episode I need to ponder for a bit: a power imbalance makes it easier to create chemistry. A power imbalance makes it easier to create any emotions. Just wondering how to apply it to my work in progress. Any tips? #WritingCommunity
Thank you @TSNOTYAW for the fantastic feedback on yesterday’s episode. Really appreciate it! Ready to get back to editing, editing, and yet more editing. 🎉 #amediting #amquerying #writingcommunity
To be able to give back to the #WritingCommunity is SO important to me since I did not get where I am without others. Thank you @TSNOTYAW for the opportunity to give back to yours. #amquerying

I’m a big fan of both @TSNOTYAW and @AmyNielsen06 so it was so cool to see them together on my sub stack! #WritingCommunity #womenwriters #writersoftwitter #amquerying
@jeboyt @lincodega Some great bookish or publishing casts: @failingwriters @ukPageOne @printrunpodcast @CoodeStreet @TSNOTYAW @bestsellerxp To name a few! Shipping and handling is retired but excellent archives, and First Draft podcast is also great.
I often share this story with journalism students when I guest lecture. I wrote an essay in early 2019, hoping to get in published in the NYT Modern Love column. I sent it in, but they passed and I was crushed. I really believed in this essay . . . 🧵
Of course you do! And we love @BiancaM_author ❤️

@BiancaM_author Bianca Marais does a beta reader matchup one a quarter (maybe more?). There’s a small fee, but you may meet your new writing besties! biancamarais.com/beta-reader-ma…
@jaime_dill Next: The Witches of Moonshyne Manor by Bianca Marais - it's like Practical Magic meets the Golden Girls with a kick ass teenage influencer to smash the patriarchy. Her other books (Hum If You Don't Know the Words and If You Want to Make God Laugh are also excellent!)
82- If You Want To Make God Laugh | Bianca Marais🇿🇦 This author somehow tackles the hardest of subject matter without making it too much to bear. I enjoyed reading this.
So thrilled to get some great comp suggestions for my WIP from @TSNOTYAW today! Thanks so much to Emilie!
@JulieCalidonio @TSNOTYAW @CaitlinLucyy 👀 I had mine reviewed on the most recent episode. This gives me hope!
@CaitlinLucyy Have you listened to the @TSNOTYAW podcast? They offer so much free advice on querying! I got my agent a couple months after having my letter and pages reviewed.
@JulieCalidonio @CaitlinLucyy @TSNOTYAW I second Julie's suggestion! @TSNOTYAW is an incredible resource.
Tomorrow afternoon at @TheFOLD_ is a gift to writers. 1.5 hours of advice from agents from @TSNOTYAW in their Books with Hooks segment, and 2 hours of drop in time with editors and agents from sponsors and partners like @PenguinRandomCA @dundurnpress @ecwpress and more.
@carlywatters @TheFOLD_ @TSNOTYAW Looking forward to tomorrow's events!

@KevSchmid1 @books4kimberly Aww, thanks @KevSchmid1! I feel the same way about you and your writing. I would have given up writing long ago if it wasn't for you and all of the awesome writers I've met through @TSNOTYAW!
@KWritesFiction @TSNOTYAW Aw, thanks! Still querying but almost ready to go a different route.
@human_evrice @TSNOTYAW Thank you! I just saw you were also on the podcast... I'm sure I heard it when it first aired, but I'm going to give it another listen!
@KWritesFiction @TSNOTYAW I can't wait to read your book! The query sounded so good!
Want to know how to escape the slush pile and capture the attention of literary agents? Join the hosts of @TSNOTYAW in conversation with @seraphecda on April 28th at 1:30pm for a virtual live segment! Get your tickets here: buff.ly/3U6bTpl #FOLD2024 #WritingCommunity
