Decoding passes in publishing:

β€œI’m not sure how to sell this.” - Out of their expertise.

β€œI lack the editorial vision here.” - Unsure how to edit the project.

β€œI am bound by the Dark Nethergod to reject all work that doesn’t praise his shadowy name.” - They don’t work in the specific genre.

A WAR OF FRACTURED SOULS features a chaotic bisexual FMC, an equally chaotic supporting cast, high stakes, secrets, twists that you won’t see coming, battle…and occasionally some spice

(editors pls buy my book)

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #16140:
Don't assume that your desk is where all your writing happens. 90% of the process of creation happens elsewhere. Use whatever time you have. Thinking time; dreaming time; observing time; analyzing time. All this time can be part of your work. Don't waste it.
