Please note: we have been informed there is someone attempting to impersonate agents from @thebookgrp and get money in exchange for working with us. We have reported this to the FBI. Apparently this is happening at other agencies: no reputable agent will charge you money, fyi.

It’s nearly time. After a half decade wandering the Nevada desert, a stunning array of unexpected twists and turns, multiple moments where it seemed the end was at hand, and one staggeringly successful crowdsourcing effort, The Believer’s return is now less than two months away.
ALT The Believer Issue 140 is coming.

If you're a BIPOC author who's afraid of self-promoting bc you're worried you're annoying everyone or making everyone tired of you, remember this - a person needs to see something about your book at least SEVEN times before they even consider buying it. So promote yourself, pls!!

Hi everyone! I’ve been getting a lot of pitches for @Cosmopolitan recently and we don’t really have public guidelines for them, so I thought it might be good to make a little thread to give more insight to the pitching process (at least for me. I don’t speak for other editors):

GALLEYS! ARE! HERE! I am obsessed, as are the smaller members of my household.
THE GREAT RECLAMATION will be out 3/28. Set in 1940s-60s Singapore, it’s about disappearing land, survival, childhood love, a family sundered by politics & history. I can’t wait for you to read it.

My one big tip is never post embedded links that lead you outside the twitter app. Post a photo or video and the link as a tinyurl. Any post that takes you outside an app is not prioritized by the algorithm :) No embedded YouTube links ever!!
