Controversial take. I like the one liner rejections from lit agents. To the point, direct, no overanalyzing needed. Just a simple... #querying #writerscommunity

how are you getting through the query trenches?!? i don’t know anyone else who is querying and it drives me cuckoo #amquerying #writingcommunity #querying

Not bad.

#writingcommunity #querying I will be at this amazing event and I'd love to see you there. April 11 once seemed so far away but it is just around the corner. #writingdayworkshops minnesotawritingworkshop.com

'Recommend' appears exactly once across my two current edited manuscripts. Yes, I checked to make sure I spelled it right (I most often write without spellcheck, and 'recommend' always gets me loooollll). Here it is :-) From my #querying NA SFF, 'Obedi Corpus' #WIPSnips #WriteSky #BookSky 💙🪐 🪐📚

In which two writers in the querying trenches decide to tell literary agents what it is exactly about the cuts of their various jibs that we think need improvement. We 💯knew what we were doing when we came up with this idea, yes, yes, oh yes. #writingcommunity #booksky #podcast #writesky #querying
