B. van Bodegom 📃is querying & writing

With your editing skills and my titles, we could rule the world!! 😂

Thank you 😄 the title came first!

Thank you!

Hi Madelyn! You mention on your MSWL you like happy endings/hope. How does this translate to horror and your preferences?

What if an ending falls between the good and the bad? 👀

I noticed some editors prefer a happy ending of sorts. The heroes prevail and all that. When it comes to horror, is there an outcome that has your preference?

I know I said 'alas' when I said you were on my shortlist, but it looks like you're back in the running for DAD BODIES 😅

Such is the querying life 😁 thanks, though 🧡

4* publishers 😏 me and my big mouth.

DAD BODIES is with five publishers?!

#WIPSnips from MARK OF THE JESTER!

The instances in DAD BODIES were a bit too spoilery. So enjoy this description of a court jester destroying the tyrant king. The inciting incident, if you will. (TW: blood, gore, death)

Penny sits in front of her Living Archive and books for sale, which are on white shelving behind her to the left. The books we can see are Desires Reborn - a pink paperback with white lettering and a faint image of a disabled couple embracing, next to this is the hardback memoir First In The World Somewhere, it is a red cover with bright yellow lettering and white text. In the lower third there is a graphic of lips outlined in black. Below this shelf are many files and other books featuring Penny’s work. On top of the shelving there are two vintage suitcases, to the right of the image there’s a framed picture of Penny’s 1989 seven inch single, a black and white chalk effect image of a seated girl. Below this is another framed picture announcing Penny’s Living Archive. In the centre, Penny sits in her wheelchair. She wears glasses, has red hair, up in a bun and is wearing a headband made of twigs and crystals into the shape of antlers. Penny is wearing a leopard print dress and a cropped, dusky pink cardigan. She is holding a copy of her memoir and smiling. In front of her on a table is an arrangement of her books, flyers and postcards.

Fancy new stories, fresh perspectives rarely heard in fiction? It’s #WorldBookDay so going all out with a cheeky please to say support this #DisabledAuthor -and the many of us working to get the untold stories out there. Google me and see :) #WriterLife #DisabilityRepresentation #ThoughtfulThursday

Bacon purist. I can respect that. Thanks for answering! If you see my stuff, it's not because of the cannibalism. At least, not entirely, anyway. 🫀

So, cannibalism. Love the icon you used. I always went for 🥓 in my posts to tease the trope. Major part of the story? Just a scene? Either? What kind: accidental or deliberate? How do you feel about human bacon? Is this line of questioning too weirdly focused on cannibalism? 👀

No media, but I have press.

I'm sorry to hear! Hope things turn good, soon!

Thank you so much! 😃

Thank you! So I'm experiencing real-time 😆 Keep up the amazing work you're doing! Huge fan here 🤟

IF one of the publishers that has the full of DAD BODIES offers (one can dream, right?), I would fight so hard to get @notanotheralex.bsky.social to do the cover art. His work on @dungeonsanddads.bsky.social is STELLAR!

That & indie #art ftw.

Fuck AI.

Indeed it is!!
