I'm attending #SeattleWorldcon2025 virtually and I'm a panelist on 2 sessions. Hope I bump into y'all (I'm in the discord as well)

Is there a link where we can watch the panel virtually?

Thank you Paula 😊

Hey Paula! You liked my pitch during PitBlk, but the query manager link you attached in the message doesn't have my genre in the dropdown. What do I do?

#writingcommunity
Help a fellow author:
1. If you have manuscript requests out, do you inform the other agents you query after that point?
2. If several agents from a pitch event liked your pitch, and the query results in a request, do you let the other pitch agents know when you query them?

Thank you 😊

#writingcommunity Send good vibes. I'm Rewriting my synopsis tonight. Wish me luck!

#amquerying #writingcommunity
Working on some more query letters today. 😊

It's so mean and unnecessary

#WritingCommunity
Anyone else polishing and preparing for #DVpit 2025? What's your WIP?

Gripping imagery! ✨

Pretend movie poster for #Posterpit #Posterpitq featuring an image of a ballerina's legs spread in a V en pointe with rope tying the ankles together. Ice is creeping in on the sides, purple swirls of magic are by the legs, and a giant feather is on the ground between the feet. Words at the top read, "Mental health rep," "Slow burn," "Found family," "Forced proximity." The top center reads, "One kidnapped ballerina, Four fantasy fugitives, And her quest to escape" next to a badge reading, "Killer Nashville Claymore Finalist." Center reads, "Jessica DeLand's Wake" centered between words reading "A Curse So Dark and Lonely" and "The Inheritance Games," both bracketed separately by feathers. Bottom reads, "YA Contemporary Fantasy, AAPI/ADHD Writer, 22 Full Requests, 4 Previous Offers of Publication, Querying Now."

A CURSE SO DARK & LONELY X
THE INHERITANCE GAMES

When a ballerina w/ a panic disorder is kidnapped by fantasy fugitives desperate to recover their leader’s magic stuck inside her, she unearths their secrets to facilitate freedom, but bonds w/ them & falls for 1 instead

The stories have become a part of my routine 😁

I had to hunt the page down. It didn't show up on my feed for a few day. Can't wait to read all these

My cat learned to open the fridge and stole two whole fish! 😭
What do I do?

Very serious on the job. 😁

Fascinating concept and an enjoyable read 😀

We've matured 😃

Advice point two and three are 💯. The editing one was tough to implement when I started out but I swear by it now.

#WritingCommunity I decided to take the plunge and share more on the clock app. I write African Fantasy.
Please follow my account if you have one and share yours too 💖
I'm experimenting 🫣

What's the best writing advice you've ever received?
Mine was to search for inspiration from history.

Congratulations 🎉🎉

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll add it to my list. Please feel free to come back and add any that you remember 😃

Does it mean anything specific or just a name?
