Thrilled to share today that I’ve signed with Natalie Sun at HG Literary to represent me and HANNAH MCCOY TAKES A STAND!

I'm going to say this with a bit of frustration, but fuck all the way off, Oliver.

This isn’t my first book so I am quite familiar with the editing process.

I’m also an agented author pursuing trad pub so I don’t hire editors.

Thanks, though!

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

Great intro thread for all things RevPit!

Highly recommend participating for unagented authors pursuing trad pub with a manuscript ready to go! Even without winning, I learned so much, got great advice, and made so many connections, all of which definitely helped me get #agented

I did a great job getting the blood out of that

Age verification? I have a chicken pox scar because they hadn't come out with the vaccine yet.

Someone who churns out hundreds of AI "books" and makes money tricking people into buying them thinking they're getting a novel isn't a writer. They're a scammer.

They're no more an author than a snake oil salesman is a doctor. It's just fundamentally a different thing.

I'm going to win.

Today I did at least 20 minutes of research for two words in this book 😂
