I expect the contract is mostly for practical reasons... jittery authors sending 11th hour revisions (and that's how you make bloopers, plus takes time reviewing), and those who submitted one thing and want to do a 180.

Aw, don't! Besides... I assume they give it a read over? It can't be in their interest to print typos...

Definitely playing the Unhinged card, but for very prosaic reasons: my full name's still under wraps, and "Soph" alone didn't look good with this layout (too short) π
But I've gotta say... the "Something" is growing on me π
For another (sub)genre, I might be seriously tempted!

A broad ask... The Age of Innocence comes to mind (as a quiet example).
Also Atonement & Revolutionary Road (have only seen the movies though).
I guess it also depends on whether you're looking for people hurting each other, or being hurt/separated by tragedy.

On this week's BAD LIT FRIENDS, it's true confession time: Meagan spills the beans on how she came back to writing by embracing her inner forum troll. Turns out, sometimes it's good to feed them! LISTEN: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmuK...

Wow, itβs not *one* ad. He was under contract with them for years! I found a whole bunch on YouTube, and theyβre all deliciously tongue-in-cheek.

Haha, well that's me in a pickle, because this spoof of my contemporary romance (definitely not a send-up) is proving more popular than my usual pitches ππ
Still, glad you found it funny, that was the goal!

If it has a technical name, I don't know it!
I just used it to undercut the bodice-ripper promo language & make it (hopefully π) funny.
A bit like footnotes to catch the reader off guard--Terry Pratchett was a past master at that...
All I know is, I had way too much fun drafting it π

Haha. A bit of a conundrum, this. Writers are known to make things up... not always tell the truth. So how do we know it's true? π

poster with an older man and grandson fishing in a lake. Text: A boy falls down a hole in the ice, and ends up in 1963 with a young version of his granddad. He needs to get home but wants to stay in the past, because the one at home has Alzheimer's. Coming to an Agent's Inbox near you--April 19th!
I fell in a dark hole in the ice and ended up in 1963. I thought I was drowning, but then my granddad saved me, but he is only fourteen! How weird is that? #UnhingedPit #Q #MG #CON #H #ADV #F #Canadian
