It’s out!!! Go listen! Request it for FREE at libraries! Get it from Libro FM (and support a local bookstore) or use your Audible credits! Or just pretend you did all that and tell me I’m pretty

If you switch from Audible to @libro.fm you can designate a local bookstore to receive a portion of your sales. Mine are going to @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social

Just sayin

That’s a thing you could do. You don’t have to. THEY won’t like emerge from beneath the floorboards if you don’t.

Like at MOST one or two families. A week.

So see don't worry about what some silly billies croon from through the cracks between your floorboards as you sleep.

I mean they are inside most of those houses. Okay all of them.

But still soooo saaaaafe

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

also don’t let agent rejections get you down it has nothing to do with your talent and everything to do with do they think they know how to sell your specific book. I have a novel pubbed, been in Best of Horror and other cool magazines and I still haven’t been able to get one
you just gotta move on
