Okay #WritingCommunity #amquerying community I have a doozy of a question. I recently had a convo with what they called them selves a “hybrid” publisher, who gave me a sales pitch that they would work collaboratively with me editing, marketing, publishing. (cont in thread).

They then said it would cost me 13k. I’m not interested in vanity press. Is this a scam publisher? I said no to them, but want to also understand if this is a real thing writers do in this community. Seems odd to me, why not just self-pub?

Was up so late last night plotting a new WIP. Nothing gets your mind out of the query trenches more than a new magic system 🙃.

I really wish publishing knew how many of my high school students are telling me they love dystopian books BUT THEY KEEP LISTING TITLES FROM THE EARLY 2000S

Tarot reader: in the first space I see the two of swords. Is there a decision you're trying t- Me, pulling from my own deck: I play the Page of Pentacles in defense position and draw. The Page allows me to also play a minor arcana so I place the Three of Wands in attack position

I'm not an agent/editor, but I think it's wildly bizarre that authors are angry over this. In fact, I think many likely chose these professions bc of their love of writing, and although I don't have an agent *yet* I'd love one who is also trying to be published, or is already.

The wait for responses to fulls is truly agonizing. Send dog pics.

I am reading the third twilight book now and it’s literally an apology for grooming. How is this a real book that exists and was published. Quill has “imprinted” on a two year old 🤢

I am so afraid of querying. I send like MAYBE one every 6 months and I know this is not sustainable way of doing things. Send courage.
